PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

          PURCHASE
AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as
of March 16, 2010, by and
between Care Investment Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Tiptree
Financial Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”). Certain
capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms in Article IX.

          WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company
desires to sell, and the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, Company Common Stock as
more fully described herein (the “Sale Transaction”);

          WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Sale Transaction, it is proposed: (i) that the Company sell the
Purchased Shares to the Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and (ii) that the Company make a cash tender offer for any and all of the outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock at the Offer Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement (such cash tender offer, as it may be amended from time to time in
accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer”); and

          WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has approved this
Agreement and, to the extent applicable, such other transactions, in accordance with the
requirements of the MGCL.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

          1.1 Agreement to Sell and Purchase. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to issue and sell, and the Purchaser agrees to
purchase, that number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the Share Quantity (the
“Purchased Shares”) at the Closing upon payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with
Section 1.2.

          1.2 Payment of Purchase Price. In consideration of the agreement by the Company to
issue and sell the Purchased Shares to the Purchaser as set forth in Section 1.1, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be
paid to the Company; provided, however, that, instead of the Escrow Agent releasing
the Purchase Price to the Company and having the Company, in turn, transfer funds to the Paying
Agent in an amount sufficient to pay for the shares tendered (and not withdrawn) in the Offer, at
the Closing, an amount equal to the Purchase Price shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the
Paying Agent on behalf of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

 

 

ARTICLE II

THE PRE-CLOSING AND THE CLOSING

          2.1 Pre-Closing. If, as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on any date on which the
Offer is scheduled to expire (as set forth in the Offer Documents, including any dates to which the
Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 6.1(c) hereof and the Offer Documents)
(i) 10,300,000 shares of Company Common Stock have been tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the
Offer, (ii) each of the Offer Conditions set forth in subsections (b) through (i) of Annex

amount of cash equal to the Maximum Amount with the Escrow Agent, to be held and released by the
Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the only conditions to the obligations
of the Purchaser to deposit the Maximum Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section
2.1 shall be those conditions set forth in preceding sentence, and the only condition to the
Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to Section 1.1 shall be
that, subject to the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition without waiver or modification thereof,
the Company has accepted for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not
withdrawn) as of the expiration of the Offer.

          2.2 Closing. The closing of the Sale Transaction (the “Closing”) shall occur
upon acceptance for payment by the Company of the shares validly tendered (and not withdrawn) as of
the expiration of the Offer or at such other time as the parties hereto may agree (the date on
which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place at the offices
of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, 340 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10173, or at such other location as
the parties hereto may agree in writing.

in connection with the Offer as of the expiration of the Offer. If less than 16,500,000 shares of
Company Common Stock have been tendered and not withdrawn in connection with the Offer as notified
by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Purchaser wishes to purchase additional
shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser shall, no later than 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, notify the Company of the number of additional
shares that it elects to purchase by written notice (the “Additional Share Notice”)
delivered to the Company. No later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, (i)
the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate, signed by the chief executive officer and
chief financial officer of the Company, setting forth the Share Quantity (after taking into account
any additional shares set forth in the Additional Share Notice, if delivered by the Purchaser
pursuant to the preceding sentence) and

-2-

 

the Purchase Price and (ii) the Purchaser and the Company shall complete, execute and deliver
to the Escrow Agent the Joint Written Direction, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to
the Escrow Agreement (the “Joint Written Direction”), which shall set forth the Purchase
Price specified in the certificate delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence;
provided, however, that if manifest error exists with respect to the calculation of
the Purchase Price, then the parties shall, in good faith, promptly resolve such error. The Joint
Written Direction shall provide (i) that the Purchase Price is to be distributed to the Paying
Agent with respect to the Offer on behalf of the Company as soon as possible following receipt
thereof, and (ii) after payment of the Purchase Price, the remaining balance of escrow funds shall
be distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof.

          (b) At the Closing, upon receipt by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Company of the Purchase
Price, the Company shall, or shall instruct its transfer agent to, deliver to the Purchaser that
number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the Share Quantity in book-entry form to one or
more accounts designated by the Purchaser at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

          2.4 Closing Deliverables. In addition to any other documents to be delivered under
other provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser such
other customary instruments of transfer, assumptions, filings or documents, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, as may be required to give effect to the Sale
Transaction.

complete and correct copies of all forms, documents, statements and reports filed with or furnished
by the Company to the SEC since June 27, 2007 (such forms, documents, statements and reports,
including any amendments thereto, the “Company SEC Documents”). As of their respective
filing dates, the Company SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, and none of the Company SEC Documents
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent amended or superseded by a
subsequently filed Company SEC Document. The Company has made available to the Purchaser correct

material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as of their respective dates, and have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent throughout the periods indicated. The Company
Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition

indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

          (c) The Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries have established and maintained a system of
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such
internal controls are, in all material respects, (i) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of Company
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and (ii) designed to ensure that
material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries required to be included in
reports filed under the Exchange Act is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and
its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in
which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared, and such disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting the Company’s principal executive officer
and its principal financial officer to material information

-7-

 

required to be included in the Company’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act.
Since June 30, 2007, the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer
have disclosed to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (A) all Known
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls
over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not
material, that involves management or others who have a significant role in the Company’s internal
controls and the Company has provided to the Purchaser copies of any material written materials
relating to each of the foregoing. The Company has made available to the Purchaser all such
disclosures made by management to the Company’s auditors and audit committee since June 30, 2007.

          (d) Since the enactment of SOX, the Company has been and is in compliance in all material
respects with the provisions of SOX applicable to it, including Section 404 thereof, and the
certifications provided pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 thereof were accurate when made.

          (e) Without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company is in
compliance in all material respects with all current listing and corporate governance requirements
of the NYSE.

Contemplated Transactions), or adopt or change in any material respect any accounting method in
respect of Taxes;

          (l) settle or offer to settle the Cambridge Litigation (other than any settlement that (i)
does not require the payment by the Company of any material amounts, (ii) would not reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect from and after the settlement date, or (iii)
would not require the Company to waive any material right or to undertake any material obligation);

          (m) enter into any new line of business or enter into any agreement that restrains, limits or
impedes the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to compete with or conduct any business

          (o) take or agree in writing to take, any of the actions described in clauses (a) through (n)
above.

          5.3 No Solicitation.

          (a) The Company shall not, nor shall it authorize any of its Subsidiaries or any officer,
director, employee, accountant, counsel, financial advisor, agent or other representative of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) to, (i)
solicit or initiate, or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries regarding or the
submission of, any Takeover Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations
regarding, or furnish to any Person any confidential information or data with respect to, or take
any other action to knowingly facilitate the making of, a Takeover Proposal or any inquiry that may
reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, or (iii) enter into any agreement with
respect to any Takeover Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Takeover Proposal;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or any other
provision of this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (A) taking and
disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a
Third Party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under
the Exchange Act or (B) making such disclosure to the Company Stockholders as, in the good faith
judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, is required under
applicable Laws, provided, that the Company may not, except as permitted by Section
5.3(e), withdraw or modify its approval of this Agreement or the Sale Transaction, or approve
or recommend any Takeover Proposal, or enter into any agreement with respect to any Takeover
Proposal. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, and it shall instruct the Company
Representatives to, immediately cease any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any
parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Takeover Proposal.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.3(a), prior to the
Acceptance Date, if the Company has received from any Third Party a written inquiry or Takeover
Proposal that was not solicited in violation of this Section 5.3 (i) the Company may
contact such Third Party or its advisors for the purpose of clarifying such inquiry or Takeover
Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof, so as to determine whether such inquiry or
Takeover Proposal is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (ii) the Company may
furnish information concerning its business or Assets to such Third Party pursuant to a customary
confidentiality agreement with provisions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the
Company than the Confidentiality Agreement, and may negotiate and participate in discussions and
negotiations with such Third Party concerning a Takeover Proposal, if such Third Party has
submitted a Superior Proposal, or a Takeover Proposal that the Company Board determines in good
faith (after consultation with its advisors) is reasonably likely to constitute or lead to a
Superior Proposal.

          (c) The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 72 hours) notify the
Purchaser if any proposals or offers with respect to a Takeover Proposal are received by, any
non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are

-22-

 

sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of the Company Representatives
including, in connection with such notice, a written summary of the material terms and conditions
of any proposals or offers that are not made in writing and copies of any requests, proposals or
offers, including proposed agreements, of proposals or offers that are made in writing. The
Company shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and terms of
any proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any discussions,
negotiations or developments. The Company will promptly provide to the Purchaser any non-public
information concerning the Company provided to any other Third Party which was not previously
provided to the Purchaser.

          (d) As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

          “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written proposal by a Third Party to acquire,
directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding or of
the Assets, which (i) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its
advisors) to be more favorable to the Company Stockholders than the Contemplated Transactions and
(ii) which, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, is reasonably likely to be
consummated, taking into consideration (with respect to both subsections (i) and (ii) hereof) all
financial, regulatory, legal, timing and other aspects of such proposal.

          “Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer, whether in writing or otherwise, from
a Third Party to acquire beneficial ownership (as defined under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of
assets that constitute 15% or more of the Assets or 15% or more of the Company Common Stock or
outstanding voting power of the Company, whether pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other
business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, sale of assets, tender offer, exchange offer
or similar transaction.

          “Third Party” means any Person or group other than the Purchaser or any Affiliate
thereof.

          (e) Except as set forth in this Section 5.3(e), neither the Company Board nor any
committee thereof shall (i) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend,
(publicly or otherwise) a Takeover Proposal, (ii) make any recommendation or public statement in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer by a Third Party other than a recommendation
against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule
14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any acquisition
agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement
referred to in Section 5.3(b)) relating to any Takeover Proposal.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Acceptance Date, the
Company Board may take any of the foregoing actions if (A) the Company Board shall have determined
in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to take such action would be
inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders and (B) in
the case of the actions referred to in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the

-23-

 

preceding sentence, (x) the Company shall have received a Superior Proposal which is pending at the
time the Company determines to take such action, (y) the Company shall have provided the Purchaser
with written notice advising the Purchaser that the Company Board has received such a Superior
Proposal which it intends to approve, recommend or accept, specifying the identity of the party
making the Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof, and (z) at least two
(2) Business Days shall have passed following the Purchaser’s receipt of such notice (it being
agreed that each subsequent material amendment or material revision to such Superior Proposal shall
require the Company to deliver to the Purchaser a new notice of Superior Proposal and result in an
additional two (2) Business Day period from the date of receipt of any such material amendment or
material revision) and the Purchaser shall not have made a binding written offer that the Company
Board shall have concluded in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its financial
advisors, is at least as favorable to the Company Stockholders as such Superior Proposal.

          5.4 Conduct of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, from the date of this Agreement until
the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, will not and will not permit
its Subsidiaries, other Affiliates or Purchaser Representatives to (a) take any action that would
reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay the ability of the parties to consummate the
Contemplated Transactions (including deposit by the Purchaser of the Maximum Amount with the Escrow
Agent) or to obtain any necessary approvals of any Governmental Entity required for the
Contemplated Transactions; or (b) agree to, or make any commitment to, take or authorize, any of
the foregoing.

ARTICLE VI

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

          6.1 Company Tender Offer.

          (a) The Company shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the
Offer within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Proxy Statement is mailed to the
Company Stockholders. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the
Offer, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The obligation of the Company to accept for
payment or pay for any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer will be
subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Annex I
hereto (the “Offer Conditions”). By 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
immediately after (or, if not practicable, as soon as practicable after such time) (i) the Offer
has expired without being extended in accordance with subsection (c) below, and (ii) each of the
Offer Conditions has been satisfied or waived at or after such expiration (in accordance with
Annex I), the Company shall accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly
tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not withdrawn) (such date for the acceptance for payment, the
“Acceptance Date”), and the Company shall pay the Offer Price for such shares promptly
thereafter, and in any event in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

-24-

 

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company may not (i) waive or amend the Minimum
Condition or any other condition of the Offer (other than the conditions set forth in subsections
(a), (e), (f) and (h) of Annex I), (ii) change the form of consideration to be paid
pursuant to the Offer, (iii) change the Offer Price, (iv) impose conditions to the Offer in
addition to the Offer Conditions, (v) except as provided in Section 6.1(c), extend the
expiration date of the Offer beyond the initial expiration date, (vi) reduce the time period during
which the Offer shall remain open, or (vii) amend any other term of the Offer in a manner adverse
to the Purchaser or holders of Company Common Stock.

          (c) The Offer shall remain open until 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the date that is twenty
(20) Business Days after the commencement (determined pursuant to Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the
Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended pursuant to the
following sentence, in which case the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and
date as the Offer, as so extended, may expire. If at any scheduled expiration time, any of the
Offer Conditions (other than delivery of the Joint Written Direction) are not satisfied or waived
by the Company (subject to subsection (b) above), the Company shall, by 2:00 p.m. New York City
time on such scheduled expiration date, extend the Offer for the shortest time period or periods
necessary to satisfy the Offer Conditions (other than delivery of the Joint Written Direction);
provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to extend the
Offer beyond August 31, 2010 (the “Outside Date”). Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, if any of the Offer Conditions are not satisfied or waived by the
Company as of the Outside Date, the Company shall not be required to accept for payment, or pay
for, any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer.

          (d) On the date of commencement of the Offer, the Company shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender
Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which will contain or incorporate by
reference the offer to purchase shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (the
“Offer to Purchase”) and the forms of the related letter of transmittal and summary
advertisement (the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase, and all exhibits,
amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer to
Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock in
accordance with all applicable Laws. The Company shall cause the Offer Documents to comply in all
material respects with the Exchange Act. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or
the Offer, to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and
to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect,
and to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as supplemented or amended to correct
such information, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company
Common Stock to the extent required by applicable Laws. The Purchaser shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts promptly to furnish to the Company all information concerning the Purchaser and
its Subsidiaries that may be required or reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any
action contemplated by this Section 6.1(d). The Purchaser and its counsel shall be given
reasonable opportunity to

-25-

 

review and comment on the Offer Documents (including any amendment thereto) each time before
any such document is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall include in such Offer Documents all
comments reasonably proposed by the Purchaser and its counsel. The Company shall provide the
Purchaser and its counsel with any comments the Company or their counsel may receive from the SEC
or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments and the
Purchaser and its counsel shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response
to such comments. Each of the Company and the Purchaser shall, acting in good faith and
reasonably, agree to amend or modify any Offer Condition to the extent necessary to comply with any
comments received from the SEC in connection with the Offer and the Proxy Statement;
provided, that the Purchaser shall not be required to amend or modify the Minimum
Condition.

          (e) If, between the date of this Agreement and the date on which any particular share of
Company Common Stock is accepted for payment and paid for pursuant to the Offer, the outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of
any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split,
consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the
Offer Price, the Minimum Condition, and with respect to the Sale Transaction, the Share Quantity
and the Purchase Price, as the case may be, applicable to such share shall be appropriately and
proportionately adjusted.

          6.2 Company Proxy Solicitation.

          (a) Subject to Section 5.3(e), the Company Board Approval shall not be withdrawn or
modified in a manner adverse to the Purchaser.

          (b) As soon as practicable but in no event more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date
of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement
seeking shareholder approval of the issuance of the Purchased Shares to the Purchaser and
abandonment of the Plan of Liquidation at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to cause a
definitive proxy statement seeking shareholder approval of the Stockholder Proposals (the
“Proxy Statement”) to be mailed to the Company Stockholders as promptly as practicable
after responding to all such comments to the satisfaction of the SEC and its staff. The Company
shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of
any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for
additional information and will supply the Purchaser with copies of all correspondence between the
Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other
hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement and the Purchaser and its counsel shall be afforded a
reasonable opportunity to participate in the response to any SEC comments. If at any time prior to
the Company Stockholders’ Meeting there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in
an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable
prepare and mail to the Company Stockholders such an amendment or supplement. Each of the Company
and the Purchaser agrees

-26-

 

promptly to correct any information provided by it or on its behalf for use in the Proxy
Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any
material respect, and the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to the Company
Stockholders an amendment or supplement to correct such information to the extent required by
applicable Laws. The Company shall consult with the Purchaser prior to mailing any Proxy
Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, to which the Purchaser timely and reasonably
objects. The Purchaser shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement
or any amendment or supplement thereto.

          6.3 Stockholder Approval. Subject to Section 5.3, the Company, acting through
the Company Board, shall take all action necessary under all applicable Laws to call, give notice
of and hold a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stockholders’
Meeting”) to vote on proposals (i) to approve the abandonment of the Plan of Liquidation in
favor of the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) to approve the issuance of the Purchased Shares to the
Purchaser, and (iii) to approve an amendment to Section 7.2.1(a)(iii) of the Company Charter to
permit a Transfer (as defined in the Company Charter) that would cause the Company to be
beneficially owned by less than 100 Company Stockholders (collectively, the “Stockholder
Proposals”). The Company Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held (on a date selected by the
Company in consultation with the Purchaser) as promptly as practicable after the mailing of the
Proxy Statement, but in no event earlier than twenty (20) Business Days after such mailing. The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all proxies solicited in
connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable
Laws. Subject to Section 5.3, the Company Board shall recommend a vote in favor of the
proposals contemplated in this Section 6.3.

          6.4 Other Regulatory Matters.

          (a) Each of the Purchaser and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper
or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or
its Subsidiaries with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, including obtaining any Third Party
consent which may be required to be obtained in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, to
challenge the imposition of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order of a court of
competent jurisdiction preventing the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (which
challenge shall be at the Company’s cost and expense), and, subject to the conditions to such
party’s obligations set forth in this Agreement, to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and
(ii) obtain (and cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or
approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity which is required to be obtained by the
Purchaser or the Company, respectively, or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with
the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however that, for the avoidance of doubt,
in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Purchaser be required to (iii) seek
to remove any temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order
issued by a court of competent jurisdiction preventing the consummation of the Contemplated
Transactions or (iv)

-27-

 

pay any amounts to any Third Parties in settlement of pending litigation relating to or
arising out of the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise pursuant to this Section 6.4(a)
except as set forth in Section 6.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The parties hereto shall
cooperate with each other and promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, and effect all
applications, notices, petitions and filings (including any notification required by the HSR Act),
to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations of all Third
Parties and Governmental Entities, and the expiry or termination of all applicable waiting periods,
which are required to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. The parties hereto agree that they
will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and
authorizations of all Third Parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate
the Contemplated Transactions and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters
relating to completion of the Contemplated Transactions.

          (b) The Purchaser and the Company shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information
concerning themselves, their respective Subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and
stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with
the Proxy Statement, the Offer Documents or any other statement, filing, notice, application or
other document made by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective
Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

          (c) The Purchaser and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any
communication from any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry
concerning this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

          6.5 Access to Information. Subject to applicable Laws, the Company agrees to provide
the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, financial
advisors, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Representatives”),
from time to time prior to the Closing Date, reasonable access during normal business hours to the
officers, employees, agents, properties, offices, plants and other facilities of the Company, books
and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and such other information as the Purchaser shall
reasonably request with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective
businesses, financial condition and operations. Except as required by applicable Laws, the
Purchaser shall keep confidential, and shall cause the Purchaser’s Affiliates and the Purchaser
Representatives to keep confidential, any non-public information received from the Company,
directly or indirectly, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

          6.6 Public Disclosure. Unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Purchaser
and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making
any public statement regarding the terms of this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions,
and neither shall issue any such press release or make any such statement without the prior
approval of the other (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
except as may be required by applicable Laws or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement
with any national securities exchange, in which

-28-

 

case the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public statement or
disclosure shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party before issuing
such press release or making such public statement; provided, however, that any
public statement or disclosure that is consistent with a public statement or disclosure previously
approved by the other party shall not require the prior approval of such other party.

          6.7 Further Assurances. Subject to Section 5.3 and Section 6.4(a),
each party hereto, at the reasonable request of another party hereto, shall execute and deliver
such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or
desirable for effecting the consummation of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

          6.8 Continued Listing. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the shares of Company Common Stock to continue to be listed for trading on the NYSE for a
period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

          6.9 Director and Officer Indemnification.

          (a) From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall (i) if the Purchaser owns or
controls, directly or through one or more Affiliates, more than 50% of the Company Common Stock,
not permit, or (ii) if the Purchaser owns or controls, directly or through one or more Affiliates,
50% or less of the Company Common Stock, vote against, and cause any directors of the Company
designated or nominated by the Purchaser that serve on the Company Board to vote against (in their
capacity as Board members), in each case, any amendment, repeal or modification of the Company
Charter or the Company Bylaws with respect to indemnification of directors, officers, employees and
agents in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Persons who at any
time prior to the Closing Date were identified as prospective indemnitees under the Company Charter
or the Company Bylaws in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date
(including the Contemplated Transactions).

          (b) From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in their capacities as such (each,
an “Indemnified Party”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities
or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any claim based in
whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such Indemnified Party is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and
pertaining to any matter existing or occurring, or any acts or omissions occurring, at or prior to
the Closing Date, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing Date (including
matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions) or taken at the request of the Purchaser pursuant to
this Agreement.

          (c) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain a six-year prepaid “tail policy” with
respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those individuals

-29-

 

serving as officers and directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior
to the Closing Date and any other Person who is covered by the Company’s current directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policy, which tail policy shall cover acts and omissions occurring at
or prior to the Closing Date and shall have a coverage amount of $20 million and other policy terms
and conditions at least as favorable as the terms and conditions in the existing directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company, subject to a maximum premium with respect to
such tail policy of $2 million.

          (d) In the event the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or
merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of
such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its
properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company assume the obligations
set forth in this Section 6.9.

          (e) The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive the Closing Date and are intended
to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs
and representatives.

          6.10 Advice of Changes. The Company and the Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the
other of (a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, which occurrence or failure to
occur is reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty of such party contained in this
Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in a manner that would cause the conditions set forth in
Section 7.3 not to be satisfied as of the Pre-Closing Date or the Offer Conditions not to
be satisfied as of the Acceptance Date, or (b) any failure of the Purchaser or the Company, as the
case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it under this Agreement in a manner that would cause the conditions set forth in
Section 7.3 not to be satisfied as of the Pre-Closing Date or the Offer Conditions not to
be satisfied as of the Acceptance Date. Notwithstanding the above, the delivery of any notice
pursuant to this Section 6.10 will not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available
hereunder to the party receiving such notice or the conditions to such party’s obligation to
consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

          6.11 Litigation. The Company shall consult with, and keep the Purchaser promptly
informed with respect to, any litigation or claim against or involving the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors or officers or Assets, including the settlement
thereof; provided, that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to participate in the
defense or settlement of the Cambridge Litigation or any other litigation or claims involving the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors or officers or Assets. In
the event any litigation or claim involving or relating to the Contemplated Transactions is
commenced, the Company agrees, at the Company’s expense, to use commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly defend against any such action.

-30-

 

          6.12 Takeover Statutes. Subject to Section 5.3(e), if any Takeover Statute is
or may become applicable to the Sale Transaction (after giving effect to the Offer), the Company
and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that
such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this
Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate (to the extent reasonably possible as advised by counsel
to the Company) the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

          6.13 Rule 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer (as it may
be extended hereunder) the Company (acting through its Compensation Committee) will take all such
steps as may be required to cause each Compensation Arrangement entered into by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries on or after the date of this Agreement to be approved as an “employment
compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule
14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non- exclusive safe
harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the Exchange Act. Prior to the scheduled expiration of the
Offer (as it may be extended hereunder), neither the Company Board nor the Compensation Committee
shall withdraw, nor permit the withdrawal of, the Company Compensation Arrangement Approvals.

          6.14 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the Sale Transaction
solely to fund the Company’s obligations in connection with the Offer.

respect to any other Section of this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that

          10.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being
understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. facsimile or PDF transmission of
any signature will be deemed the same as delivery of an original.

          10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other
agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the Related
Agreements, the Exhibits, the Schedules, the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Purchaser
Disclosure Schedule, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject

the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement,
which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement
or the Closing, in accordance with its terms.

          10.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations contained herein shall be assigned by any party hereto (whether by operation of law or

such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to
this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the

-45-

 

waiver is to be effective; provided, that an amendment made subsequent to the approval
of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions by the Company Stockholders shall not (i) alter
or change the Purchase Price or the Offer Price or (ii) alter or change any of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement if such alteration or change would adversely affect the holders of
Company Common Stock in any material respect. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.

          10.9 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise stated herein, the rights and remedies
hereunder provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
applicable Laws.

Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

          10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws to the
extent that such principles would permit or require the application of Laws of another
jurisdiction. Each party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of
any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, exclusively
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or if subject matter
jurisdiction before the federal court does not exist, then before the New York State Supreme Court
for the Borough of Manhattan, in New York, New York) (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in
connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of
this Agreement (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts,
(ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts,
(iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have
jurisdiction over any party hereto and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any
such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section
10.2 of this Agreement. Each party hereto irrevocably designates CT Corporation as its agent
and attorney-in-fact for the acceptance of service of process and making an appearance on its
behalf in any such claim or proceeding and for the taking of all such acts as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to confer jurisdiction over it before the Chosen Courts and each party hereto
stipulates that such consent and appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Each
party hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

          10.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the parties
hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is

-46-

 

accordingly agreed that the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand,
shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the
other and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each of the parties
hereto hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate, and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or
other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

          10.13 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly and been
represented by counsel in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, therefore, this
Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or
interpretation in favor of or against any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of
this Agreement.

          10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
PROCEEDING, LITIGATION OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN)
OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN
ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY
TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

          10.15 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and
the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof,
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other
Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall
such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the
application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

any direction or instruction (other than those contained herein or delivered in accordance
with this Escrow Agreement) from the Depositor or the Beneficiary or any person acting on
their behalf. Escrow Agent shall not be required to, and shall not, expend or risk any of its

effective unless expressed in a writing signed by the party to be charged.
	 
	14.	 	The rights and remedies conferred upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative, and the
exercise or waiver of any such right or remedy shall not preclude or inhibit the exercise of
any additional rights or remedies. The waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall not
preclude the subsequent exercise of such right or remedy.

promotional material which mentions “The Bank of New York Mellon” by name or the rights,
powers, or duties of the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement shall be

shall have no effect on the interpretation or operation hereof.
	 
	21.	 	This Escrow Agreement may be executed by each of the parties hereto in any number of
counterparts, each of which counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be
an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. The Company shall pay or
reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the
Escrowed Property incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Escrow Agent any amounts that it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes. Any payments

representing a Majority-In-Interest of the Registrable Securities may request registration under
the Securities Act on Form S-11 or any similar or other applicable long-form Registration Statement
for the offering of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities.

               2.1.2 Within ten (10) days after receipt of any written request pursuant to Section 2.1.1, the
Company will give written notice of such request to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and
will use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities
with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within ten (10) days
after delivery of the Company’s notice, and, thereupon the Company will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect, at the earliest possible date, the registration under the Securities
Act. All registrations requested pursuant to Section 2.1.1 are referred to herein as “Long-Form
Demand Registrations.”

               2.1.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, the Company shall not be
obligated to effect more than three (3) Long-Form Demand Registrations for all Holders in the

          2.2 Short-Form Registrations.

               2.2.1 In addition to the Long-Form Demand Registrations provided pursuant to Section 2.1
above, commencing on the date on which the Company becomes eligible to register securities issued
by it on an appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor thereof (“Short-Form Demand Registrations”
and, together with the Long-Form Demand Registrations, “Demand Registrations”), each Holder will be
entitled to request registrations under the Securities Act of all or part of its Registrable
Securities; provided, that with respect to

- 4 -

 

any requests under this Section 2.2.1, the anticipated aggregate offering amount of the
Registrable Securities covered by a Short-Form Demand Registration shall exceed $1,000,000 (net of
underwriting discounts and commissions).

               2.2.2 Within ten (10) days after receipt of any request pursuant to Section 2.2.1, the Company
will give written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities and will
use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities with
respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within ten (10) days after
delivery of the Company’s notice. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make
Short-Form Demand Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. Demand
Registrations will be Short-Form Demand Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any
applicable short form. If for marketing or other reasons, any underwriters with respect to any
Short-Form Demand Registration request the inclusion in the Registration Statement of information
that is not required under the Securities Act to be included in a Registration Statement on the
applicable form for the Short-Form Demand Registration, the Company will provide such information
as may be reasonably requested for inclusion by such underwriters in the applicable Registration
Statement.

               2.2.3 The Company shall prepare and file such additional Registration Statements as necessary
to maintain continuously effective Resale Registration Statements (as defined below) in connection
with Short-Form Demand Registrations, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC (if it is not an automatic shelf
registration statement) so that a Resale Registration Statement remains continuously effective,
subject to Section 2.6, with respect to resales of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a
Short-Form Demand Registration as and for the periods required hereunder, each such subsequent
Registration Statement to constitute a Resale Registration Statement hereunder.

          2.3 Additional Securities. The Company may not include in the Registration Statement
relating to any Demand Registrations (the “Resale Registration Statement”) additional securities of
the class of Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder, including securities to be sold
for the Company’s own account or the account of Persons who are not Holders of Registrable
Securities, unless Holders representing a Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities to be
included in such Resale Registration Statement approve such inclusion in writing.

          2.4 Underwritten Offering; Reduction of Offering. Holders representing a
Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities shall have the right to request that a Demand
Registration be effected as an underwritten offering at any time, subject to this Section 2. All
Holders proposing to participate in such underwriting shall (a) enter into an underwriting
agreement in reasonable and customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting
by Holders representing a Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities, which underwriter(s)
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that with respect to such underwriting
agreement or any other documents reasonably required under such agreement, (i) no Holder shall be
required to make any representation or warranty with respect to or on behalf of the Company or any
other stockholder of the Company and (ii) the liability of any Holder

- 5 -

 

shall be limited as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, and (b) complete and execute all
questionnaires, powers-of-attorney, indemnities, opinions and other documents reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
the Company be obligated to effect more than one underwritten offering hereunder in any single
six-month period. If the managing underwriter(s) for an underwritten offering advise(s) the
Company and the Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which
the Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other
securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if
any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back
registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell or otherwise,
exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering
without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or
the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of
securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Threshold”), then the Company shall include in such
registration (subject to the provisions of Section 2.3): (w) first, the Registrable
Securities of Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities which such
Holders have requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of
Registrable Securities or other securities held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to
herein as “Pro Rata Adjusted”) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (x)
second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing
clause (w) the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (y) third, to the extent that the Maximum
Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w) and (x) the shares of Common Stock
or other securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register
pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Threshold; and (z) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w), (x) and (y) the shares of Common Stock that
other stockholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold to the
extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, wishes to permit such sales pursuant to this
clause (z). For the avoidance of doubt, any inclusion of additional shares of Common Stock or
securities in any such Demand Registration shall be subject to Section 2.3. In the event the
Company shall not, by virtue of this Section 2.4, include in any Demand Registration all of the
Registrable Securities of any Holder requesting to be included in such Demand Registration, such
Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within five (5) days of the time such Holder
first is notified of such matter, further reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to
have included in such Demand Registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it
desires to have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a
corresponding pro rata increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such
Demand Registration.

          2.5 Inclusion in Resale Registration Statement. The Company shall give written notice
to all Holders at least 10 days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Resale Registration
Statement, which notice may include a questionnaire seeking information from the Holders deemed
necessary or advisable by the Company or its counsel in order to file the Resale Registration
Statement. At the time the Resale Registration Statement is declared effective (or becomes
effective, if the Resale Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement), each
Holder that has delivered to the Company a duly completed and executed

- 6 -

 

questionnaire on or prior to the date which is ten days prior to such time of effectiveness
shall be named as a selling stockholder in the Resale Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder, if so required, to deliver such Prospectus to
purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, after effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, the Company shall file
a supplement to such Prospectus or amendment to the Resale Registration Statement upon request of
any Holder as necessary to name as selling stockholders therein any Holders that provide to the
Company duly completed and executed questionnaires and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause any post-effective amendment to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed for such
purpose to be declared effective (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement) by the
SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof.

          2.6 Suspension of Use of Registration Statement. Upon prior written notice to the
Holders, the Company may suspend the use of a Resale Registration Statement pursuant to this
Section 2 on up to two occasions during any period of twelve consecutive months for a reasonable
time specified in the notice but not exceeding 60 days in the aggregate during any such twelve
month period (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (a) the Board determines in good
faith that permitting sales under such Resale Registration Statement would materially and adversely
affect an offering of securities of the Company; or (b) the Company is in possession of material
non-public information and the Board determines in good faith that the disclosure of such
information during the period specified in such notice would not be in the best interests of the
Company.

          2.7 Withdrawal. A Long-Form Demand Registration may be withdrawn prior to the filing
of the Registration Statement by the Holders representing a Majority-In-Interest of the Registrable
Securities to be included therein (a “Withdrawn Request”) and a Registration Statement filed in
connection with a Long-Form Demand Registration may be withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof
by a Majority-In-Interest of the Registrable Securities included therein (a “Withdrawn Demand
Registration”), but such Long-Form Demand Registration subject to a Withdrawal Request or a
Withdrawn Demand Registration shall be treated as a Demand Registration which shall have been
effected pursuant to Section 2.1, unless the Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in
such Registration Statement reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration
Expenses relating to the preparation and filing of such Registration Statement (to the extent
actually incurred), in which case such Long-Form Demand Registration subject to a Withdrawal
Request or a Withdrawn Demand Registration shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected
pursuant to this Section 2 (and shall not be counted toward the number of Demand Registrations
permitted hereunder); provided, however, that if a Withdrawn Request or Withdrawn
Demand Registration is made (A) because of a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement), or (B) because the sole or lead managing underwriter advises that the amount
of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering be reduced pursuant to Section 2.4 by more
than 10% of the Registrable Securities included or to be included in such Registration Statement,
then such Long-Form Demand Registration subject to a Withdrawal Request or a Withdrawn Demand
Registration shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2 (and
shall not be counted toward the number of Demand Registrations permitted hereunder), and the
Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection therewith. Any Holder
requesting inclusion in a Long-Form Demand Registration may, at any time prior to the effective
date of the

- 7 -

 

Registration Statement (and for any reason) revoke such request by delivering written notice
to the Company revoking such requested inclusion.

          2.8 Other Registrations. During the period (i) beginning on the date of a request for
a Demand Registration and (ii) ending on the date that is ninety (90) days after the date that a
Demand Registration Statement filed pursuant to such request has been declared effective by the SEC
or, if the Holders shall withdraw such request or such Demand Registration Statement, on the date
of such Withdrawn Request or such Withdrawn Demand Registration, the Company shall not, without the
consent of the Holders representing a Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities, file a
registration statement pertaining to any other securities of the Company.

          3. Piggy-Back Registration.

          3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time or from time to time the Company proposes to
file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity
securities by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account
and the registration form to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities,
then the Company shall (a) give written notice of such proposed filing and offering to the Holders
of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the
anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be
included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed
managing underwriter(s), if any, of the offering, and (b) offer to the Holders of Registrable
Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable
Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such
notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). If at any time after giving written notice of its intention
to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in
connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to
delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of
such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, (x) in the case of a determination
not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in
connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering,
shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay
in registering such other securities. The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be
included in such registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any
similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders of
Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration
that involves an underwriter(s) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in reasonable and
customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such Piggy-Back Registration; provided that
with respect to such underwriting agreement or any other documents reasonably required under such
agreement, (i) no Holder shall be required to make any representation or warranty with respect to
or on behalf of the Company or any other stockholder of the Company and (ii) the liability of any
Holder shall be limited as provided in Section 6.2 hereof and (ii) complete and execute all
questionnaires, powers-of-attorney, indemnities,

- 8 -

 

opinions and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
agreement. No registration effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Company of its
obligations to effect a Demand Registration required by Section 2.

          3.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter(s) for a Piggy-Back
Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Holders of
Registrable Securities that in their opinion the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock
or other securities which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock
or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written
contractual arrangements with third parties, the Registrable Securities as to which registration
has been requested under this Section 3, and the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if
any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back
registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Threshold, then the
Company shall include in any such registration:

                    (a) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (i) first, the shares
of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Threshold; and (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold
has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities and the shares of
Common Stock or other securities proposed to be sold for the account of other Persons that the
Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights
with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold (pro rata in
accordance with the number of Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock or other securities
which such Holders and other Persons have requested be included in such underwritten offering,
regardless of the number of Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock or other securities
held by each such Holder or other Person); and

                    (b) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of one or more
Persons other than the Company and any Holder, (i) first, the shares of Common Stock or
other securities for the account of such demanding Persons that can be sold without exceeding the
Maximum Threshold; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been
reached under the foregoing clause (i), Registrable Securities and the shares of Common Stock or
other securities proposed to be sold for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated
to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such Persons and
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold (pro rata in accordance with the number of
Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock or other securities which such Holders and other
Persons have requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of
Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock or other securities held by each such Holder or
other Person); and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), shares of Common Stock or other securities that
the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold.

          3.3 Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such
Holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving
written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of

- 9 -

 

the Registration Statement or filing of a Prospectus naming such Holder as a selling
stockholder, as applicable. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a
withdrawal by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a
Registration Statement filed or to be filed pursuant to this Section 3 at any time prior to the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders
of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay the expenses
incurred by the Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration
as provided in Section 5.3.

          4. Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company.

          The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution (other than, in the case of
the Company, in connection with (a) any merger, acquisition or similar transaction that involves
the public offering of securities or (b) public sales or distributions solely by and for the
account of the Company of securities issued pursuant to any employee benefit or similar plan,
including equity incentive plans or upon exercise or conversion by the holders thereof of other
derivative securities issued by the Company that are then outstanding), of any securities during
the period commencing on the date the Company receives a request for an underwritten offering from
any Holder and continuing until 90 days after the consummation of the underwritten offering (or for
such shorter period as the lead underwriter(s) shall request after consultation with Holders of a
Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities) unless earlier terminated by the lead
underwriter(s) in such underwritten offering.

          5. Registration Procedures.

          5.1 Filings. In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement as provided
in this Agreement, the paragraphs below shall be applicable:

               5.1.1 Filing of Registration Statement. The Company shall (a) prepare and file with
the SEC a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel
for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all
Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of
distribution thereof, which shall comply as to form with the requirements of the applicable form
and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, (b) file the
applicable Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30)
days following the request for any Demand Registration, and use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such Registration Statement to be declared (if it is not an automatic shelf registration
statement) and remain effective for the period required by Section 5.1.3, (c) not take any action
that would cause a Registration Statement to contain a material misstatement or omission or to be
not effective and usable for resale of Registrable Securities during the period that such
Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable, (d) use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such Registration Statement, amendment or
supplement to comply in all material respects with any requirements of the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the SEC and (e) cause such Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto not to contain any untrue statement of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to

- 10 -

 

make the statements therein not misleading during the period that such Registration Statement
is required to be effective and usable.

               5.1.2 Copies. The Company shall, upon request, prior to filing a Registration
Statement or Prospectus in respect of Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, furnish without charge to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such
registration, any underwriter and such Holders’ or underwriter’s legal counsel, copies of such
Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration
Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference
therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary
Prospectus) and such other documents as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration, underwriter or legal counsel for any such Holders or underwriter may reasonably
request. Following the filing of such Registration Statement, the Company shall furnish to the
Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration (in each case in an electronic
format, unless otherwise required by applicable law), without charge, such number of copies of such
Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits
thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such
Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents as the
Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, underwriter or legal counsel for
any such Holders or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included
in the Registration Statement shall have the right to request in writing that the Company modify
any information contained in such Registration Statement, amendment and supplement thereto
pertaining solely to such Holder or which such counsel to Holder may reasonably request in order to
ensure that the Registration Statement complies with the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
comply with such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not have any
obligation to so modify any information if the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause
the Prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

               5.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC
such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration
Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until
all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been
disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such
Registration Statement or such securities have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities.

               5.1.4 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall
promptly notify the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of
such filing, and shall further promptly notify such Holders of the occurrence, of any of the
following and, if requested by any Holder, confirm such advice in writing: (a) when such
Registration Statement becomes effective; (b) when any post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement becomes effective; (c) the issuance by the SEC of any

- 11 -

 

stop order; and (d) any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to such
Registration Statement or any Prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the
occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration
Statement, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and promptly make available to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the SEC a
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents
incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for such Holders (such legal
counsel to be selected by the Holder of a Majority-In-Interest of the Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed
sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such Holders and such legal counsel with a reasonable
opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall not file any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents
incorporated by reference, to which such Holders or such legal counsel shall reasonably object.
The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness or qualification of a Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of
any related Prospectus at the earliest possible time.

               5.1.5 State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its best efforts to (a)
register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such
securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of
distribution) may reasonably request (“Blue Sky Filing”) and (b) take such action as reasonably
necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of
the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be
necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such
jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this paragraph, consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or subject
itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

               5.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements
(including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions
as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities. Such Holders of Registrable Securities shall agree to such representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnification and contribution obligations for selling stockholders as
are reasonably and customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the underwriters.

               5.1.7 Cooperation. (a) The management of the Company shall cooperate fully in any
offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation,
the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering

- 12 -

 

and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with
underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential purchasers, including without limitation,
participation in any roadshow for an underwritten offering.

                    (a) The Company shall, upon request, furnish to the lead underwriter of an underwritten
offering of Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, at least one signed copy of each
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits; and furnish to each
Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration
Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without documents incorporated therein by
reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested) and shall cooperate with the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities and the lead underwriter of an underwritten offering of Registrable
Securities, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such
Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the governing
documents thereof) and registered in such names as the selling Holders or the lead underwriter of
an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, may reasonably request at least three
(3) business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

               5.1.8 Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by the Holders of
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in
any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other
professional retained by the Holders of a Majority-In-Interest of the Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement or any underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due
diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s directors, officers and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.
Records which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the
Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (a) the disclosure of
such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration
Statement or (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from
a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall
be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the
securities of the Company unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each
Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement further agrees that it
will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction,
give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action
to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

               5.1.9 Opinions and Comfort Letters. If a Registration Statement in respect of
Registrable Securities includes an underwritten offering, the Company shall furnish (a) any opinion
of counsel to the Company delivered to any underwriter and (b) any comfort letter from the
Company’s independent public accountants delivered to any underwriter, each in the

- 13 -

 

form reasonably requested by counsel to such underwriter and shall, if consistent with the
policies of such counsel or independent public accountants, furnish to each Holder of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder,
of any such opinion of counsel or comfort letter.

               5.1.10 Earnings Statement. The Company shall make available to its stockholders, as
soon as practicable but not more than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an
earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
thereunder covering the twelve month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s
fiscal quarter next following the applicable effective date of each applicable Registration
Statement.

               5.1.11 Listing. To the extent any Registrable Securities are not able to be listed on
an exchange, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable
Securities included in any Registration Statement to be designated for trading in the same manner
as similar securities issued by the Company are then designated. In the event that the Common
Stock of the Company is not listed on an Eligible Market, the Holders representing a
Majority-of-Interest of the Registrable Securities, may in their sole discretion require the
Company to list the Registrable Securities on any Eligible Market upon which the Company has met,
or is able to meet, the eligibility criteria thereof, and the Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to effect such listing as soon as practicable.

               5.1.12 CUSIP. The Company shall provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities
and provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement not later than the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement.

          5.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5.1.4(d), each Holder of Registrable
Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
until such Holder receives the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5.1.4(d)
and, if so directed by the Company, each such Holder will destroy all copies, other than permanent
file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

          5.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay the following costs and expenses
(the “Registration Expenses”) incurred in connection with (a) any Demand Registration pursuant to
Section 2 and (b) any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 3, and all expenses incurred in
performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the
Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and
filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including
fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable
Securities); (iii) all expenses of any Persons in preparing or assisting in preparing, word
processing, printing, distributing, mailing and delivering any Registration Statement, any
Prospectus, any underwriting agreements, transmittal letters, securities sales agreements,
securities certificates and other documents relating to the

- 14 -

 

performance of or compliance with this Agreement; (iv) the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with (A) the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 5.1.11 and (B)
with respect to the requirements of Section 5.1.12; (v) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. fees; (vi) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for
independent public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated
with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 5.1.9); (vii)
the fees and expenses of one counsel for the Holders selected by the Majority-in-Interest of the
Registrable Securities; (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company
in connection with such Registration; and (ix) the expenses incurred in connection with making road
show presentations and holding meetings with potential investors to facilitate the distribution and
sale of Registrable Securities which are customarily borne by the issuer; and (x) other fees and
expenses customarily borne by issuers in the registration and offering of securities on their own
behalf or on behalf of selling security-holders; provided, however, Registration
Expenses shall not include discounts and commissions payable to underwriters, selling brokers,
dealer managers or other similar Persons engaged in the distribution of any of the Registrable
Securities. The Company shall have the right to exclude any Holder that does not agree to bear its
expenses (except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence) from the applicable Registration.
The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in this Section 5.3 shall apply
irrespective of whether a Registration becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended, is converted
to another form of Registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.

          5.4 Information. In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement covering
Registrable Securities, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may
reasonably be requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of any Registration
Statement in order to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities and in connection with
the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. If a Holder
fails to provide such information after reasonably requested, the Company may omit such Holder’s
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

          6. Indemnification and Contribution.

          6.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
to the fullest extent permitted by law each Holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their
respective officers, employees, Affiliates, trustees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and
agents, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) such Holder of Registrable Securities from and against
any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”) arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the
Securities Act or under any Blue Sky Filing, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to any Holder to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged

- 15 -

 

omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company,
in writing, by such Holder expressly for use therein.

          6.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any
Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating and as a condition to such participation,
each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company, and each of its directors, officers,
employees, Affiliates, trustees and agents, and each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and each
underwriter (if any), and each Person, if any, who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), against any Losses, insofar
as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which
the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, Prospectus
(including any preliminary Prospectus), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if the statement or omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by
such Holder expressly for use therein. Each Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall
be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds actually received by
such Holder from sales of Registrable Securities giving rise to such obligations.

          Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Company or any Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such
securities by any Holder.

          6.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of
any notice of any Loss or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
Section 6.1 or 6.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Loss or action; provided, however, that the
failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified
Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially
prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to
any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with
all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified
Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided,
however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
are named as defendants or if such Indemnified Party or parties determines in good faith that a

- 16 -

 

conflict of interest exists and that therefore it is advisable for such Indemnified Party or
parties to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified
Party or parties, there may be legal defenses available to it or them which are different from or
in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party or parties
shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party or parties shall be entitled
to separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s or parties’ expense. If an Indemnifying Party or
parties is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense,
after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the
Indemnifying Party or parties will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
Indemnified Party or parties (limited in each jurisdiction to one counsel for all Indemnified
Parties under this Agreement). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which firm shall be designated in writing by
those Indemnified Parties who sold a majority of the Registrable Shares sold by all such
Indemnified Parties) to represent the Indemnified Party or parties and their respective controlling
Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may
be sought by the Indemnified Party or parties against the Indemnifying Party or parties, with the
fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party
shall, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party or parties, consent to entry of
judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which the Indemnified Party or parties are or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or
proceeding and does not include any statement of admission of fault, culpability or failure to act
by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

          6.4 Contribution.

               6.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to any Indemnified
Party or insufficient to hold it harmless in respect of any Loss referred to herein, then each such
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party or parties, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party or parties as a result of such Loss in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the
Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such Loss, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party
and any Indemnifying Party 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 such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying
Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission.

               6.4.2 The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
Section 6.4.1.

               6.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnifying Party as a result of any Loss shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or

- 17 -

 

other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4, no Holder
of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount
by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

               6.4.4 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to
any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties
hereunder, under applicable law or at equity, and shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or any officer, employee,
Affiliate, trustee, director, partner, member, attorney, agent or controlling person of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

               6.4.5 The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the
amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when reasonably detailed
and itemized bills are received or Losses are incurred.

          7. Underwriting and Distribution.

          7.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the Company shall not terminate its
status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the
rules and regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination and
shall take such further action as the Holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all
to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holders to sell Registrable Securities
(subject to any contractual obligation of such Holders to the contrary) without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such
Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

          8. Miscellaneous.

          8.1 Registration Rights to Others. If the Company shall at any time hereafter
provide to any holder of any securities of the Company rights with respect to the registration of
such securities under the Securities Act, such rights shall not be in conflict with or adversely
affect any of the rights provided in this Agreement to the Holders.

          8.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties
and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole
or in part. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns (including any

- 18 -

 

permitted transferee of Registrable Securities). Any Holder may assign to any transferee of
its Registrable Securities (to the extent that such securities continue to be Registrable
Securities), its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however,
that no such transfer or assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company to any such
assignee, and no such assignee shall be deemed a Holder hereunder, unless and until the Company
shall have received written notice of such transfer or assignment as herein provided and a written
agreement of the assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not
intended to confer any rights or benefits on any Persons that are not party hereto other than as
expressly set forth in Article 6 and this Section 8.1.

          8.3 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable overnight
courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telex or facsimile,
addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most
recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if
personally served or transmitted by telex or facsimile; provided, however, that if
such service or transmission is not on a Business Day or is after normal business hours, then such
notice shall be deemed given on the next Business Day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein
shall be deemed given on the next Business Day following timely delivery of such notice to a
reputable overnight courier service with an order for next-day delivery.

To the Company:

Care Investment Trust Inc.

505 Fifth Avenue

New York, NY 10017

Facsimile: As provided from time to time pursuant to Section 8.3

Attention: Chief Executive Officer

To each Holder, at the address most recently provided by such Holder to the Company.

          8.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or
otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to
apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or
unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially
impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical
realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable
provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

- 19 -

 

          8.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in multiple
counterparts, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          8.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant
hereto and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitutes the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions among
the parties, whether oral or written.

          8.7 Modifications and Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents
to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the
written consent of a Majority-In-Interest of Registrable Securities outstanding at such time.

          8.8 Titles and Headings. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement.

          8.9 Waivers and Extensions. Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach
or default which such party has the right to waive, provided, that such waiver will not be
effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and
specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived
has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver
of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any
preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained.
No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver
or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.

          8.10 Remedies Cumulative. In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform
any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, each Holder of
Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at
law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction
against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this
Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such
actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred
under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement
or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

          8.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of
law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts

- 20 -

 

sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

          8.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no
adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations
hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may
be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the
obligations of any other party under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, without
the requirement of proving actual damages or posting a bond.

          8.13 Holdback Agreement. In connection with an underwritten primary or secondary
offering to the public conducted at any time following the effective date of this Agreement, each
Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, subject to any exceptions that may be agreed upon at the
time of such offering, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities
(or other securities) of the Company held by them (other than Registrable Securities included in
such offering in accordance with the terms hereof) for a period equal to the lesser of 90 days
following the effective date of a Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities
Act or such shorter period as to which the managing underwriter(s) shall agree; provided that each
executive officer and member of the board of directors of the Company also agrees to such
restrictions. Such agreement shall be in writing in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
and the managing underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to
the Registrable Securities (or other securities of the Company) subject to the foregoing
restriction until the end of said period.

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

          8.15 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not hereafter enter into any
agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement.

- 21 -

 

          8.16 Termination. The rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall
terminate if the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement have not been consummated and
the Purchase Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms.

- 22 -

and delivered as of the date first written above.
