to the extent exercisable on the date of Optionee’s termination shall terminate at the end of the
Option Term or ninety (90) days after Optionee’s termination, whichever is earlier. The Options

Option Shares then exercisable hereunder by giving the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
written notice of exercise. The notice of exercise shall specify the number of Option Shares as to
which the Options are to be exercised and the date of exercise thereof, which date shall be at
least five days (but not more than fifteen days) after the giving of such notice unless an earlier
time shall have been mutually agreed upon by Optionee and the Company.

          (b) Full payment of the option price for the Option Shares being purchased by the Optionee
shall be made by the Optionee in cash (in U.S. dollars) prior to the date of exercise specified in
the notice of exercise.

          (c) The Company shall cause to be delivered to the Optionee a certificate or certificates for
the Option Shares then being purchased (out of theretofore

3

 

unissued Stock or reacquired Stock, as the Company may elect) as soon as is reasonably
practicable after the full payment for such Option Shares and satisfaction of all other conditions
to exercise set forth in this Agreement.

          (d) If the Optionee fails to pay for any of the Option Shares specified in a notice of
exercise or fails to accept delivery thereof, the Optionee’s right to purchase such Option Shares
shall terminate. The date specified in the Optionee’s notice as the date of exercise shall be
deemed the date of exercise of the Options, provided that payment in full for the Option Shares to
be purchased upon such exercise shall have been received by such date and all other conditions to
exercise set forth in this Agreement shall have been satisfied.

          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Optionee’s right to exercise
Options and be issued Option Shares is subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 4(e) in

exempt from the qualification and registration requirements of applicable state and Federal
securities laws, and (iii) the Company and the Optionee comply with any requirements applicable to
the transaction, if any, that are contained in any credit or loan agreement to which the Company is
a party. In addition, the obligation of the Company to deliver Stock shall be subject to the
condition that if at any time the Company shall determine that the listing, registration, or
qualification of the Options or the Option Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state
or Federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a
condition of, or in connection with, the Options or the issuance or purchase of Stock thereunder,
the Options may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Board.

     5. Adjustment of and Changes in Stock of the Company. In the event of any change in the
outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, combination, exchange of shares, or the like, the Compensation Committee shall
appropriately adjust the number and kind of shares of Stock subject to the Options and the option
price.

     6. No Rights of Stockholders. Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative shall be,
or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any
shares of Stock purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Options, in whole or in part,
prior to the date certificates for shares of Stock are issued to the Optionee.

     7. Non-Transferability of Options. During the Optionee’s lifetime, the Options hereunder
shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or any guardian or legal representative of the Optionee,
and the Options shall not be transferable except, in case of

4

 

the death of the Optionee, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, nor shall the
Options be subject to attachment, execution, or other similar process. In the event of (a) any
attempt by the Optionee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the
Options, except as provided for herein, or (b) the levy of any attachment, execution, or similar
process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Options by
notice to the Optionee and they shall thereupon become null and void.

     8. Service Not Affected. Neither the granting of the Options nor exercise thereof shall be
construed as granting to the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of service as a member
of the Board of Directors of the Company or affect any right which the Company, its stockholders or
Board of Directors may have to terminate such service.

     9. Amendment of Options. The Board shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion
to accelerate the vesting of any and all of the Options at any time or from time to time. In
addition, the Options may be amended by the Compensation Committee at any time (i) if the
Compensation Committee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that amendment is necessary or
advisable in the light of any addition to or change in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or in the regulations issued thereunder, or any federal or state securities law or other
law or regulation, which change occurs after the date of grant of an Option and by its terms
applies to the Option, or (ii) other than in the circumstances described in clause (i), with the
consent of the Optionee.

     10. Sale, Merger, Consolidation and Liquidation of the Company. In the event of: (i) a sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (ii) a sale of all of the outstanding
shares of stock of the Company, or (iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company into or with
another corporation which results in the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such
transaction not owning stock of the surviving corporation, then, if the surviving entity or
purchaser does not assume the Options issued hereunder, all Options issued hereunder which are
unvested shall terminate and all Options issued hereunder which are vested (including all Options
that are vested as a result of a Vesting Acceleration Event) but not exercised prior to such event
shall terminate. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options issued
hereunder which are unvested shall terminate and all Options issued hereunder which are vested but

and conditions of this Agreement and the tranferee(s) shall execute and deliver to the Company an
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company agreeing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

          (c) All Option Shares now or hereafter owned by Optionee shall be subject to all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. All certificates representing such Option Shares shall contain

7

 

               (ii) agrees not to make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the
registration of any Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Stock, without the prior written consent of the lead underwriter; and

               (iii) authorizes the Company to cause the transfer agent to decline to transfer and/or to note

and records with respect to such shares or securities.

Upon the Company’s request, the Optionee agrees to execute any additional documents necessary or
desirable to confirm Optionee’s obligations set forth above and/or in connection with the
enforcement of the foregoing provisions. The foregoing provisions shall survive the death or
incapacity of the Option and any obligations of the Optionee set forth above shall be binding upon
the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

     14. Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed as
follows:

K12 Inc.

2300 Corporate Park Drive, Suite 200

Herndon, Virginia 20171

Attention: Compensation Committee

With a copy to:

K12 Inc.

2300 Corporate Park Drive, Suite 200

Herndon, Virginia 20171

Attention: Office of General Counsel

And any notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to the Optionee at the current address shown on
the records of the Company.

Any notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when properly addressed and posted by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid.

     15. Incorporation of Plan by Reference. The Options are granted pursuant to the terms of the
Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and the Options shall in all
respects be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. Unless the

8

 

context otherwise requires, any terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
as defined in the Plan. The Board shall interpret and construe the Plan and this instrument, and
its interpretations and determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and
any other person claiming an interest hereunder, with respect to any issue arising hereunder or
thereunder.

     16. Income Tax Consequences. Optionee acknowledges, represents, and warrants that the Company
has made no representations whatsoever to Optionee concerning the specific Federal and/or state
income tax and alternative minimum tax consequences to Optionee of the Options granted hereunder or
the exercise thereof, and Optionee shall be responsible for consulting with Optionee’s personal tax
advisor regarding such matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Optionee
acknowledges that pursuant to Code Section 409A, an option that is granted with a per share
exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the
fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered
“deferred compensation.” An option that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income
recognition by the Optionee prior to the exercise of the option, (ii) an additional twenty percent
(20%) tax payable by Optionee, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges payable by
Optionee. Optionee acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that in the event
of an examination the IRS will agree that the per share exercise price of the Stock that is subject
to this Option equals or exceeds the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant.
Optionee agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per share exercise
price that was less than the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant, Optionee
will be solely responsible for all consequences to Optionee related to such a determination.

     17. Withholding Taxes. Whenever the Company issues or transfers shares of Stock hereunder,
the Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state, and/or local withholding tax requirements prior to the
delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares. Alternatively, the Company may (but
shall not be obligated to) issue or transfer such shares of Stock net of the number of shares
sufficient to satisfy the withholding tax requirements. For withholding tax purposes, the shares
of Stock shall be valued on the date the withholding obligation is incurred.

     18. Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation, and effect of this Agreement
shall exclusively be governed by and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware (without regard to conflicts of law principles), except to the extent preempted by Federal
law, which shall to such extent govern.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Optionee have executed this Agreement effective as of the
date first set forth above.

ARTICLE 4.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     4.1. Demand Registration Rights.

          (a) Right to Demand. If the Company shall receive from Holders of at least
one-third (1/3) of the Preferred Registrable Securities a written request that the Company register
with the Commission, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, all or part
of their Preferred Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”), the Company will,
within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request for a Demand Registration, send written notice
(a “Demand Notice”) of such registration request and its intention to comply therewith to
each other Holder and, subject to Section 4.1(b) below, include in such registration all
Registrable Securities of the Holders with respect to which the Company has received written
requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) business days after the effectiveness of the
Demand Registration Notice. A Demand Registration may be either a Long-form Registration or, if the
Company is then eligible to use Form S-3, a Short-form Registration. All Demand Registrations shall
be Short-form Registrations whenever the Company is eligible to use any applicable short-form for
registrations. All requests made pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) will specify the aggregate number
of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of
disposition thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to
take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 4.1(a):

               (i) unless the Holders initiating such Demand Registration indicate a good faith intention to
register Common Stock of the Company having a reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price, net
of underwriting discounts and commissions, of at least $10 million;

               (ii) prior to the date which is six (6) months following the effective date of the first
underwritten public offering of the Company’s Common Stock under the Securities Act;

               (iii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s
estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately

6

 

following the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company
(other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee
benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

               (iv) after the Company has effected three (3) such registrations pursuant to this
Section 4.1(a); or

               (v) if the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate, signed by the President
of the Company, stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be detrimental to the
Company or its stockholders for a Registration Statement to be filed at such time. In such event,
the Company’s obligation to use all reasonable efforts to register, qualify or comply under this
Section 4.1(a) shall be deferred for a single period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days
from the date of receipt of written request from the Holders initiating such Demand Registration,
provided that the Company shall not exercise this deferral right more than twice in any eighteen
month period.

          (b) Priority on Demand Registrations. If in any Demand Registration the
managing underwriter or underwriters thereof advise the Company in writing that in its or their
reasonable opinion (or in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the
Company shall reasonably determine (and notify the selling Holders of such determination)) that
the number of securities proposed to be sold in such Demand Registration is inconsistent with
that which can be sold in such offering without having a material adverse effect on the success of
the offering (including, without limitation, an impact on the selling price or the number of
Registrable Securities that any participating Holder may sell), the Company will include in such
registration only the number of securities that, in the reasonable opinion of such underwriter or
underwriters (or the Company, as the case may be) can be sold without having a material adverse
effect on the success of the offering, in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Preferred
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration (pro rata on the
basis of the number of Preferred Registrable Securities requested to be included), (ii) second, any
other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration (pro rata on
the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included), and (iii) third, any
other securities of the Company requested to be included in such Demand Registration.

          (c) Withdrawal. A Demand Registration may be withdrawn by the Holders
initiating such Demand Registration without the demand counting as a Demand Registration
hereunder; provided that such Holders reimburse the Company for all expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with the demand, except that no reimbursement shall be required if such
withdrawal is based on material adverse information about the Company of which such Holders
were not aware at the time of the request.

          (d) Selection of Underwriters. The selling Holders shall have the right to
determine whether or not any Demand Registration shall be underwritten. If any Demand
Registration is an underwritten offering, the selling Holders shall have the right to submit to the
Company, and the Company shall consider, a list of preferred managing underwriters or
underwriters to administer the offering; provided, however, that the Company shall have the sole
and exclusive right to (i) make the final selection of a managing underwriter or underwriters,

7

 

which managing underwriter or underwriters shall be of nationally recognized standing, and (ii)
determine the terms under which such underwriting shall take place (which terms shall be customary
for registrations of that type as determined by the Company in good faith).

     4.2. Piggyback Registration Rights.

          (a) Right to Piggyback. Commencing six months after the initial underwritten
public offering of the Company’s Common Stock under the Securities Act, whenever the
Company proposes to register any shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for, or options to purchase, Common Stock) with the Commission under the
Securities Act, other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (ii) a
registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, or (iii) a registration in which the only
equity security being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt
securities which are also being registered, and the registration form to be used may be used for
the registration of the Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company (A) will
give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) to all Holders no later than the later of (1) forty-five
(45) days prior to the anticipated filing date, or (2) promptly following its decision to file, of its
intention to effect such a registration, which Piggyback Notice will specify the proposed offering
price (or reasonable range thereof), the kind and number of securities proposed to be registered,
the distribution arrangements and such other information that at the time would be appropriate to
include in such notice, and (B) will, subject to Section 4.2(b) below, include in such Piggyback
Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written
requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the date of the Piggyback Notice.

          (b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter or
underwriters in any Piggyback Registration, if any, advise the selling Holders in writing that in
its or their reasonable opinion or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration not being underwritten,
the Company shall reasonably determine (and notify the selling Holders of such determination)
that the number or kind of securities proposed to be sold in such registration (including
Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to Section 4.2(a) above) is inconsistent with that
which can be sold in such registration without having a material adverse effect on the success of
the offering (including, without limitation, an impact on the selling price or the number of
securities that any participant may sell), the Company will include in such registration the
number of securities, if any, which, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters, or the
Company, as the case may be, can be sold, in the following order of priority: (i) first, the shares
the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included
in such registration by Holders (pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each
such Holder shall have requested to include therein).

          (c) Withdrawal. A request for Piggyback Registration may be withdrawn by
any Holder making such a request; provided that such Holder reimburse the Company for all
incremental, additional expenses reasonably incurred by the Company relating solely to such
request, except that no reimbursement shall be required if such withdrawal is based on material
adverse information about the Company of which such Holder was not aware at the time of the
request.

8

 

          (d) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
offering, the Company will (i) select a managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the
offering, which managing underwriter or underwriters will be of nationally recognized standing, and
(ii) determine the terms under which such underwriting shall take place.

     4.3. Registration Procedures. With respect to any registration of the Company’s
Common Stock pursuant to this Article 4 (generically, a “Registration”), the Company will,
subject to Sections 4.1(b) and 4.2(b), as expeditiously as practicable:

          (a) prepare and file with the Commission, within one hundred twenty (120)
days after mailing the applicable Notice, a registration statement or registration statements (the
“Registration Statement”) relating to the applicable Registration on any appropriate form under the
Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective;
provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus related thereto (a
“Prospectus”) or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the Holders
covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of
such Holders and underwriters and their respective counsel, and the Company will not file any
Registration Statement or amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto to
which the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object;

          (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective
amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each Registration
Statement effective for a period of not less than sixty (60) days (or such shorter period which
will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been
sold or withdrawn), or, if such Registration Statement relates to an underwritten offering, such
longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a Prospectus is required by law to
be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer; cause
each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so
supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or
methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or
supplement to the Prospectus;

          (c) notify the selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, (A) when
the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and,
with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for

9

 

sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and
(E) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue or which requires the making of
any changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

          (d) make reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment;

          (e) if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or a
holder of Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering,
incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the
managing underwriters and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold
agree should be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such
Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of
Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by
such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the
Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering;

          (f) deliver to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, a reasonable
number of copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment
or supplement thereto;

          (g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify or
cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in
connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale
under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders and any
underwriter reasonably requests in writing, considering the amount of Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold in each such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company will not be
required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or
to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject;

          (h) cause all Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be listed
on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, or
cause such Registrable Securities to be authorized for trading on the Nasdaq National Market System
if any similar securities issued by the Company are then so authorized, if requested by the holders
of a majority of such Registrable Securities or the managing underwriters, if any;

          (i) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in usual and customary
form) and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably necessary;

          (j) permit Holders participating in such Registration to undertake such due diligence
is as usual and customary under the circumstances; provided that such selling Holders

10

 

shall use their best efforts to coordinate such due diligence to avoid additional expense to the
Company and delay of the offering; and

          (k) keep each selling Holder of Registrable Securities advised in writing as to the
initiation and progress of any Registration hereunder.

As a condition to participating in a Registration, each Holder of Registrable Securities as
to which any Registration is being effected shall furnish to the Company in writing such
information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution of such securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that,
upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 4.3(c)(B),(C), (D), or (E), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies
of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the
use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental
filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company,
such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities.

     4.4. Restrictions on Public Sale. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable
law, (i) each Holder agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of Shares, including a
sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, during
the 180-day period (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the managing underwriter or
underwriters) following the closing of the initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock
under the Securities Act, and (ii) each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement hereunder, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters for such
Registration, agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities,
including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities
Act, during the fifteen (15) business days prior to, and during the 90-day period (or such shorter
period as may be agreed to by such underwriter or underwriters) beginning on, the effective date of
a Registration Statement pursuant to such Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration (except as
part of such Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration); provided that all directors,
officers and Holders of 1% or more of the then outstanding Shares of the Company have agreed to the
same restrictions.

     4.5. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of
or compliance with this Article 4 will be borne by the Company; provided, however,
the Company shall not bear the costs and expenses of underwriters’ commissions, brokerage fees or
transfer taxes for any selling Holder, or the fees and expenses of any attorneys, accountants or
other representatives retained by any selling Holder (except that the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel selected by the selling Holders to
represent such Holders in connection with the Demand Registrations, in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $20,000).

11

 

     4.6. Indemnification

          (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify each
Holder, its officers, directors and agents and each person who “controls’ such Holder within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Holder), against
losses, claims, damages, including amounts incurred in settlement, liabilities and expenses
arising out of, based upon or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement
or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified
Holder or its representative expressly for use therein. The Company also will indemnify
underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each person who controls such
persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as
provided above, if requested.

          (b) Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder
participating in a Registration agrees to indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents
and each person who “controls” the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act) against losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement,
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, to the extent, and only to the extent,
that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of, is based upon or results from
any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) based upon,
in reliance on and in conformity in all material respects with, information furnished in writing to
the Company by such Holder or its representative expressly for use therein. In no event shall the
liability of any selling Holder hereunder or under any underwriting agreement be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Company shall be
entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided
above with respect to information so furnished in writing by such persons specifically for
inclusion in any Registration Statement or Prospectus.

          (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to
indemnification hereunder will: (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the
receipt by the indemnified party of a written notice of the commencement of any action, suit,
proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party will
claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding Section 4.6(a) or 4.6(b),
as applicable, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such
failure to give

12

 

notice, and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may
exist between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent
(but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will be required to
consent to the entry of any judgment or to enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release from all liability
in respect of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party
with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict
of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties, in
which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such
additional counsel or counsels.

          (d)
Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in
Sections 4.6(a) or 4.6(b), as applicable, is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by
such Section, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnification, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

     4.7. Rule 144. The Company agrees that at all times after it has filed a registration
statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act relating to any class of equity
securities of the Company, it will use its best efforts to file in a timely manner all reports
required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will take such
further action as any Holder may reasonably request in order that such Holder may effect sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. At any reasonable time and upon the reasonable
request of a Holder, the Company will furnish such Holder with such information as may be
necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied
with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may deregister any class
of its equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or suspend its duty to file reports
with respect to any class of its securities pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it is
then permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

     4.8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any
underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities
on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company, and
(ii) accurately completes in a timely manner and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

the contrary, each party to this Agreement (and each employee, representative, or other agent of

15

 

such party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment

          (d) Termination of Information and Inspection Rights. The rights provided by

earlier to occur of (i) a public offering of any class of the Company’s Common Stock under the
Securities Act or (ii) the date upon which the Company becomes subject to the reporting provisions

addition and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company shall use its best efforts to
cause the
CV Director (as such term is defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended) to be a member of the Board’s Executive Committee, provided,
however, that as a condition to such CV Director remaining as a member of the Board’s
Executive Committee such CV Director must regularly prepare for, attend and participate in the
Board’s Executive Committee meetings.

          (b) D&O Insurance. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Board
and
providing coverage in an amount of at least $10,000,000.

          (c) Board Meetings. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts

to ensure that the composition of the board of directors (or similar governing body) thereof shall
be identical to that of the Board of Directors of the Company at all times.

          (f) Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay and discharge all taxes,

properties of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim which is being contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings if the Company shall have set aside on its books sufficient reserves, if
any, with respect thereto.

          (g) Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall maintain insurance with
responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations in such amounts and covering

subsidiary of the Company, if any, to comply, in all other material respects with the provisions of
ERISA and the Code and any similar foreign laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, which
are applicable to any such plan. The Company shall not permit any event or condition to exist which
could permit any such plan to be terminated under circumstances which would cause the lien provided
for in Section 4068 of ERISA or any similar foreign laws to attach to the assets of the Company.

          (1) Financings. The Company shall instruct the officers of the Company to

17

 

inform the Board of Directors or the Board’s Executive Committee of any material negotiations,
offers or contracts relating to possible financings of a material nature for the Company,

ARTICLE 7.

MISCELLANEOUS

     7.1. Legend. In addition to any legends required by federal or state securities
laws, the certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legends:

	 	(a)	 	“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “ACT) AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (X)
THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (Y) THE SALE
OR TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE
ACT, OR (Z) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
STATING THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE
REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
OF THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
	 
	 	(b)	 	“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET
FORTH IN AN AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER      , 2003. A COPY OF
SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY UPON REQUEST.”

The legend referred to in paragraph (a) above shall be removed when the securities evidenced
by the Certificate have been registered under Federal and state securities laws. The legend
referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be removed when the Company has consummated a Qualified
IPO.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that absent (i) an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and qualification under applicable state securities laws or (ii) compliance with
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, such party will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate,
distribute or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Shares issued in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby without first providing the Company with an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company stating that such disposition is exempt from the

18

 

registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and has been registered or
qualified under (or is exempt from the registration and qualification requirements of) any
applicable state securities laws.

     7.2. Transferees; Additional Restrictions on Transfer. Each transferee of Shares or a
subsequent transferee (including the transferee in a transfer from one holder to another holder)
shall take such Shares subject to the same restrictions and obligations as existed in the hands of
the transferor. No transferee of Shares or a subsequent transferee, other than a transferee
receiving Shares in a Qualified Transfer, shall be entitled to the benefits provided to
Stockholders hereunder, including, without limitation, the registration rights provided under
Article 4 hereof. Shares sold to the public pursuant to an effective Registration Statement shall
no longer be subject to any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     7.3.
Future Stockholders. Any person who acquires Shares of the Company may, at
the option of the Company, become a party to this Agreement by execution and delivery to the
Company of a counterpart of this Agreement. Upon delivery of such counterpart, (i) the
signature pages hereto shall be amended to reflect the name of such new party, and (ii) such new
party shall thereafter be deemed a “Stockholder” for purposes of this Agreement.

     7.4.
Specific Performance, Etc. The Company and each Stockholder, in addition to
being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each party agrees that monetary
damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it
of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     7.5.
Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed sufficient upon delivery, when delivered personally or by overnight courier
or sent by telegram. or fax, or five (5) days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or
registered mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address
as set forth on Exhibit A to the Series B Purchase Agreement or the Series C Purchase
Agreement, as the case may be, or as subsequently modified by written notice, and if to the
Company, 8000 Westpark Drive, Suite 675, McLean, Virginia 22102, Attention: Chief
Executive Officer, with a copy to David S. Kyman, Maron & Sandler, 1250 Fourth Street, Suite

effective notice shall control.

     7.6.
Entire Agreement: Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the
parties, including without limitation the First Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement,
Articles IV, VI and VII and Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of Article VIII of the Bennett Agreement and
Articles III and IV of the Packard Agreement, all of which are expressly superseded by this
Agreement and are of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as
expressly provided above, the Bennett Agreement and the Packard Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect in accordance with their terms. This Agreement may be amended, modified,

19

 

waived or supplemented only by a written instrument executed by the Company, the holders of at
least the Threshold Number of Shares, and Common Stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock held by such Common Stockholders. No action taken pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action. The waiver by any party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as waiver of any
preceding or succeeding breach and no failure by any party to exercise any right or privilege
hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s rights or privileges hereunder or shall be
deemed a waiver of such party’s rights to exercise the same at any subsequent time or times
hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the addition of a party to this
Agreement at any time in connection with such party becoming a Stockholder shall not constitute an
amendment, modification or supplement of this Agreement and shall only require the agreement of the
Company and the Stockholder being added as a party to this Agreement; all such persons shall be
considered to be Stockholders from the date they become a signatory to this Agreement.

     7.7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and cease to be of any further force
or effect upon the earlier of (a) the Company’s merger or consolidation with or into another
corporation or other entity where, upon consummation of such transaction, the holders of the
Company’s voting stock immediately prior to such transaction will hold less than 50% of the
voting stock of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction, or (b) the
Company’s merger or consolidation with or into another corporation where in connection with
such transaction, all of the Shares are exchanged exclusively for cash and/or shares of capital
stock or other securities that are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, American
Stock Exchange or Nasdaq National Market.

     7.8. Recapitalizations, Exchange, Etc. Affecting the Company’s Stock. The provisions
of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Shares, to any
and all shares of capital stock or other securities that may be issued in respect of, in exchange
for, or in substitution of the Shares and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends,
splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof.

     7.9. Arbitration; Governing Law. This Agreement has been made and executed under,
and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Any dispute, controversy or claim
arising out of this Agreement or the performance, breach or termination thereof shall be settled
by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The place of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware. The
arbitration shall be conducted by a neutral arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration
Association. The arbitrator shall be entitled to award any appropriate remedy including, but not
limited to, monetary damages, specific performance, and all other forms of legal and equitable
relief; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not be entitled to award punitive damages.
Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The
arbitrator shall be entitled to award to the prevailing party all costs of arbitration including, but
not limited to, attorney’s fees. The arbitrator shall be charged with determining the prevailing
party. To the extent practicable, all information resulting from or otherwise pertaining to any
dispute shall be nonpublic and handled by the parties and their respective agents in such a way as

20

 

to prevent the public disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party
shall have the right to seek and obtain court ordered specific performance, injunctive and other
equitable remedies in connection with any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement.

     7.10. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

     7.11. Headings. The headings of the Articles and Sections herein are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     7.12. Construction. Differences in language as between similar provisions covering
similar matters may reflect differences in style rather than a different substantive intent and
should be construed accordingly.

     7.13. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.9 of the Series C Purchase
Agreement, each party hereto shall pay its own legal, accounting, out-of-pocket and other
expenses incident to this Agreement and to any action taken by such party in preparation for carrying this Agreement into effect.

     7.14. Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other document or instrument referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted
by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this
Agreement or any other such document or instrument.

     7.15. Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of either party hereto are
cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at
law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair
the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

     7.16. Aggregation of Shares. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by Persons
that are Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of
any rights under this Agreement. All shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by Persons that are
Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any
rights under this Agreement.

     7.17. Termination of First Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement. By their
execution of this Agreement, the Company and the undersigned Stockholders who were parties
to the First Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement and who hold at least the Threshold
Number of Shares (as defined in the First Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement)
hereby terminate the First Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement; and the Company,
such undersigned Stockholders and the other Stockholders set forth on the Schedule of
Stockholders attached hereto hereby enter into this Second Amended and Restated Stockholders
Agreement.
