     This Amendment to Shareholder Agreement is made as of June 23, 2006 by and among John G.
Sperling, Peter V. Sperling, and the John Sperling Voting Stock Trust (each a “Shareholder” and
collectively the “Shareholders”) and Apollo Group, Inc. (the “Company”).

     Whereas, the Shareholders and the Company are parties to a Shareholders Agreement dated as of
September 7, 1994, as previously amended as of May 25, 2001 (the “Agreement”); the other parties to
the Agreement (William H. Gibbs, John D. Murphy, James W. Hoggatt, and Jerry F. Noble) no longer
own any of the Class B Common Stock of the Company; and the Shareholders wish to further amend the
Agreement;

     Now, therefore, it is agreed:

     1. Section 5 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read:

     “5. Transfer to a Trust. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 or
Section 7 hereof, a Shareholder may transfer Shares to a trust created by the Shareholder
(“Shareholder Trust”), provided that such a Shareholder Trust enters into an agreement with
the Company acknowledging the existence of this Agreement and agreeing that any disposition
of the Shares by the Shareholder Trust (including any transfers to beneficiaries) will be
made in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All of the trustee(s)
of a Shareholder Trust must be (1) a Shareholder, (2) Jon S. Cohen, (3) Terri Bishop, or (4)
a person or persons approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Shares so
transferred shall not be converted into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as a
result of such transfer.”

     2. Section 16 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read:

     “16. Shareholder Defined. In addition to John G. Sperling, Peter V. Sperling,
and the John Sperling Voting Stock Trust, the term Shareholder as used herein shall also
include (i) any person, his successors and assigns, and any corporation, partnership, joint
venture, association, or other entity, whether or not such individual or entity is a
Shareholder as of the date hereof, who acquires any Shares from any Shareholder, directly or
indirectly, by any means whatsoever in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, or (ii)
any person or entity who acquires Shares from the Company and who agrees (and whose spouse
consents, if necessary) to become a party to and be bound by the terms of this Agreement,
but any Shareholder who no longer owns any Shares shall not be entitled to any of the
benefits of this Agreement.”

     3. Peter V. Sperling represents and warrants that his shares of Class B Common Stock are his
sole and separate property.

     4. The Agreement, as hereby amended, is confirmed.

 

 

     In witness whereof, the parties have executed this document as of the date stated above.

AMENDMENT TO SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT

     This Amendment to Shareholder Agreement is made as of May 19, 2009, by and among John G.
Sperling, Peter V. Sperling, the John Sperling Voting Stock Trust, and the Peter Sperling Voting
Stock Trust (each a “Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”) and Apollo Group, Inc. (the
“Company’’).

     Whereas, the Shareholders and the Company are parties to a Shareholders Agreement dated as of
September 7,1994, as previously amended as of May 25, 2001 and June 23, 2006 (the “Agreement”); the
other original parties to the Agreement (William H. Gibbs, John D. Murphy, Todd Nelson, James W.
Hoggatt, and Jerry F. Noble) no longer own any of the Class B Common Stock of the Company; the John
Sperling Voting Stock Trust and Peter Sperling Voting Stock Trust wish to formally join the
Agreement as parties; and the Shareholders wish to further amend the Agreement;

     Now, therefore, it is agreed:

     1. Section 5 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read:

     “5. Transfer to a Trust. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 or
Section 7 hereof, a Shareholder may transfer Shares to a trust created by the Shareholder
(“Shareholder Trust”), provided that such a Shareholder Trust enters into an agreement with
the Company acknowledging the existence of this Agreement and agreeing that any disposition
of the Shares by the Shareholder Trust (including any transfers to beneficiaries) will be
made in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All of the trustee(s)
of a Shareholder Trust must be either (i) a Shareholder, (2) Terri Bishop, (3) Darby Shupp,
or (4) a person or persons appointed by a Shareholder or the then current trustees of a
Shareholder Trust. The Shares so transferred shall not be converted into shares of the
Company’s Class A Common Stock as a result of such transfer.”

     2. The first paragraph of Section 7 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read:

     “7. Purchase of Stock Upon Death, Incompetency, or Bankruptcy of Shareholder.
Upon the death or incompetency of any Shareholder or the filing of a voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy petition by or against any Shareholder (a “Noncontinuing
Shareholder”), the Company and the other Shareholders (the “Continuing Shareholders”) shall
have the right to purchase the Shares owned by the Noncontinuing Shareholder (including any
Shares or interest therein owned by his or her spouse, if any) in the manner set forth in
this Section 7, unless the Noncontinuing Shareholder (i) previously transferred the Shares,
pursuant to Section 5, to a Shareholder Trust, (ii) made a transfer, pursuant to Section 5,
to a Shareholder Trust, said transfer being effective upon death, incompetency or
bankruptcy, (iii) previously transferred the Shares to a

1

 

Shareholder pursuant to Section 2, or (iv) made a transfer to a Shareholder, pursuant
to Section 2, said transfer being effective upon death, incompetency, or bankruptcy. In
each of the foregoing circumstances, no option to purchase the Shares shall arise and no
conversion of the Shares into Class A Common Stock shall occur. For purposes of this
Section 7, a Shareholder shall be deemed incompetent if the Shareholder is adjudicated
incompetent in an appropriate judicial proceeding.”

     3. Section 16 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read:

     “16. Shareholder Defined. In addition to John G. Sperling, Peter V. Sperling, the John
Sperling Voting Stock Trust, and the Peter Sperling Voting Stock Trust, the term Shareholder
as used herein shall also include (i) any person, his successors and assigns, and any
corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, or other entity, whether or not such
individual or entity is a Shareholder as of the date hereof, who acquires any Shares from
any Shareholder, directly or indirectly, by any means whatsoever in a transaction permitted
by this Agreement, or (ii) any person or entity who acquires Shares from the Company and who
agrees (and whose spouse consents, if necessary) to become a party to and be bound by the
terms of this Agreement, but any Shareholder who no longer owns any Shares shall not be
entitled to any of the benefits of this Agreement.”

4. The John Sperling Voting Stock Trust and the Peter Sperling Voting Stock Trust hereby
formally join the Agreement as signatories and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions
of the Agreement as Shareholders, effective as of the date each such Shareholder Trust
received a transfer Shares from a Shareholder.

     5. The Agreement, as hereby amended, is confirmed.

1.3 Certain Conventions. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (a)

such words appear, (c) words using the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa and (d)
the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase

ARTICLE II

FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

     Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Apollo and Carlyle are
(i) filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amended Certificate of
Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of
Incorporation”) and (ii) causing the Company to adopt amended Bylaws in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the “Bylaws”).

ARTICLE III

CAPITALIZATION OF THE COMPANY

3.1 Initial Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement, Apollo
purchased from the Company eight thousand (8,000) shares of Common Stock and Carlyle purchased from
the Company two thousand (2,000) shares of Common Stock, in each case at a purchase price per
share of $1,000 (such shares, with respect to the purchasing Participant, its “Initial
Shares”). Each of Apollo and Carlyle purchased its Initial Shares on the Initial Closing Date.
Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Apollo exchanged each share
of Common Stock held by Apollo for one share of Class A Common Stock, and each of Carlyle and CVP
exchanged each share of Common Stock held by Carlyle and CVP, respectively, for one share of Class
B Common Stock. The purchase price per share of Class A

4

 

Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be deemed to equal the purchase price per share of the
Common Stock tendered in the exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, any Class A Common Stock or
Class B Common Stock received in exchange for Initial Shares shall be treated as Initial Shares for
purposes of this Agreement, and any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock received in
exchange for Obligatory Additional Shares shall be treated as Obligatory Additional Shares for
purposes of this Agreement.

3.2 Obligatory Additional Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
(i) so long as Apollo is a stockholder in the Company, Apollo shall purchase up to the number of
additional shares of Class A Common Stock which have an aggregate purchase price of $793,000,000
and (ii) so long as Carlyle is a stockholder in the Company, Carlyle and its Affiliates (provided,
that the number of such Affiliates of Carlyle shall not exceed twenty (20)) shall purchase up to
the number of additional shares of Class B Common Stock which have an aggregate purchase price of
$197,000,000, in each case at a purchase price per share of Fair Market Value on the date of
purchase, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(d) (such shares, with respect to the
purchasing Participant, its “Obligatory Additional Shares”). Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, Apollo shall not be obligated on any date to purchase Obligatory
Additional Shares with an aggregate purchase price that exceeds four times the aggregate purchase
price of Obligatory Additional Shares purchased by Carlyle and its Affiliates through and including
such date. Any purchase by Carlyle or its Affiliates of Obligatory Additional Shares hereunder
shall only be required to be made upon the prior approval of the Carlyle Investment Committee,
which approval may be given or withheld in its sole discretion. Any purchase by Apollo of
Obligatory Additional Shares hereunder shall only be required to be made upon the prior approval of
the Apollo Board (or with respect to the purchase of additional shares which have an aggregate
purchase price less than or equal to $10,000,000, the investment committee of the Apollo Board),
which approval may be given or withheld in its sole discretion. Except as specifically provided in
the Shareholders’ Agreement, no rights of Apollo or Carlyle under this Agreement or any Additional
Agreement shall be affected by any decision of the Apollo Board or the Carlyle Investment Committee
not to purchase Obligatory Additional Shares. Each Participant shall purchase its Obligatory
Additional Shares in accordance with the following procedure:

     (a) As and when the growth of the Business requires the Company to make Acquisitions within
the Investment Scope and other investments and expenditures which are consistent with both the
Investment Scope and the Business Plan (as from time to time in effect), the Board shall deliver to
each Participant a written notice in accordance with Section 10.1 specifying the dollar amount
(which shall be evenly divisible by $1,000) of the Company’s capital requirements in connection
with such purchases or investments and the specific use or uses of such dollar amount by the
Company (each such notice, a “Call Notice”), provided however, that no Call
Notice relating to a proposed Acquisition that (a) has an enterprise value in excess of the lesser
of (i) $150,000,000 or (ii) 33.33% of the Company’s total shareholder equity plus indebtedness for
borrowed money, determined in accordance with US GAAP and as reflected in the Company’s most
recently completed consolidated balance sheet, and (b) requires the Company to incur incremental
debt or equity financing shall be delivered by the Company without the prior written consent of
both the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock and the holders of a majority of the
Class B Common Stock. Each Call Notice shall include

5

 

either a written determination of Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock by the Board or
a Valuation Report, as described in the definition of Fair Market Value. Apollo and Carlyle shall
cause the Company to issue, and the Company shall issue, a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the dollar amount specified in the Call Notice divided by the then current Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock, provided however, that Apollo shall purchase only Class A
Common Stock and Carlyle and its Affiliates shall purchase only Class B Common Stock.

     (b) If the Apollo Board and the Carlyle Investment Committee have each approved the purchase
of Obligatory Additional Shares pursuant to corresponding Call Notices, Apollo shall purchase
shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and Carlyle and its Affiliates
shall purchase shares of Class B Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 3.2(a) on the basis of
80.1% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and 19.9% of the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock, respectively. If the Apollo Board approves the purchase of Obligatory Additional
Shares pursuant to a Call Notice, but the Carlyle Investment Committee does not approve the
purchase of Obligatory Additional Shares pursuant to the corresponding Call Notice, then Apollo
may, in its sole discretion (i) have the corresponding Call Notice to Apollo rescinded and of no
further force or effect, (ii) purchase its Obligatory Additional Shares, or (iii) purchase all of
the Obligatory Additional Shares (which shall all be issued as Class A Common Stock). If the
Apollo Board does not approve the purchase of Obligatory Additional Shares pursuant to a Call
Notice, Carlyle may, in its sole discretion, (i) have the corresponding Call Notice to Carlyle
rescinded and of no further force or effect, (ii) purchase its Obligatory Additional Shares, or
(iii) purchase all of the Obligatory Additional Shares (which shall all be issued as Class B Common
Stock). The Company agrees to rescind each Call Notice described in clause (i) of each of the two
preceding sentences promptly upon the request of Apollo or Carlyle as specified in such sentences
but in any event before the date for a Subsequent Closing scheduled in the Call Notice. The
closing of such purchases (each such closing pursuant to a Call Notice, a “Subsequent
Closing”), which shall occur simultaneously, shall occur on or before the tenth
(10th) Business Day following the date of the relevant Call Notice, or on such other
date as Carlyle and Apollo may agree upon in writing. The date on which any Subsequent Closing is
held is referred to in this Agreement as a “Subsequent Closing Date”.

     (c) For avoidance of doubt, the Participants shall not cause the Company to issue pursuant to
Section 3.2(a), and the Participants shall not be required to purchase pursuant to Section 3.2(b),
any Obligatory Additional Shares in excess of the number of shares set forth in the first paragraph
of this Section 3.2.

     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation
Section 3.2(a), in the event that the Carlyle Investment Committee has not approved the purchase of
Obligatory Additional Shares which relates to an Acquisition and the Board subsequently issues one
or more Call Notices to the Participants which total either (x) $25,000,000 for a single Subsequent
Closing or (y) $75,000,000 for all Subsequent Closings in any twelve (12) month period, in each
case with the specific use or uses of the dollar amounts that are the subject of such Call Notices
being to provide additional funds to the Company, or a Subsidiary of the Company which completed
such Acquisition, for working capital, capital expenditures or other obligations or commitments of
the target of the Acquisition and the Carlyle

6

 

Investment Committee does not approve, in its sole discretion, the purchase of Obligatory
Additional Shares which are the subject of such subsequent Call Notices, then the Specified
Fraction of the Obligatory Additional Shares, if any, purchased by Apollo and its Affiliates shall
be purchased at a price described in the following sentence, with the remainder of the Obligatory
Additional Shares that are the subject of such Call Notice purchased by Apollo and its Affiliates
at Fair Market Value. For each subsequent Call Notice described in the preceding sentence, the
price at which Apollo and its Affiliates shall purchase the Specified Fraction of the Obligatory
Additional Shares shall be one and one-half times the current Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock.

     (e) The obligation of Apollo to purchase its Obligatory Additional Shares shall be the direct
obligation of Apollo and shall be enforceable by the Company and Carlyle. The obligation of
Carlyle to purchase its Obligatory Additional Shares shall be the direct obligation of Carlyle and
shall be enforceable by the Company and Apollo against Carlyle. The failure of a Participant which
is required to purchase its Obligatory Additional Shares pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and 6.2 shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement by such Participant. If a Participant fails to so
purchase its Obligatory Additional Shares, all amounts distributable by the Company to such
Participant in any capacity (whether by dividend, distribution, payment under an Additional
Agreement or otherwise) shall be suspended, and the Participant’s (or Carlyle’s, in the case of a
Participant that is an Affiliate of Carlyle) right to receive distributions from the Company shall
not be restored until such Participant shall have paid in full to the Company the consideration due
in connection with such Obligatory Additional Shares, plus interest thereon at the Prime
Rate annually, calculated from the date such consideration should have been paid to the date it is
paid by such Participant.

     (f) The Participants acknowledge that the purchase of any Obligatory Additional Shares
hereunder may be made through the contribution of assets owned by either Apollo or Carlyle
(“Contributed Assets”). Each of Carlyle and Apollo may request that, in addition to the
assets of Apollo and its Subsidiaries that are primarily or fully dedicated to enrolling or serving
International Students and the university owned by Apollo with half of its campuses presently
located outside of the United States of America referred to in Section 10.1, the other consider the
advisability of the contribution to the Company of Contributed Assets owned by either of Carlyle or
Apollo and, upon the prior written consent of Apollo or Carlyle, as the case may be, Apollo, the
Company and Carlyle shall proceed with a due diligence investigation of the Contributed Assets and
the valuation thereof. Apollo and Carlyle shall use their good faith efforts to mutually determine
the fair market value of any Contributed Assets and, subject to the terms of the Mutual
Nondisclosure Agreement between Apollo and Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. dated August 2,
2007 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the Participant contributing assets shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to each other Participant’s officers, directors, employees,
accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents reasonable access to and the right to
inspect, during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, all of the real property,
properties, assets, records, contracts and other documents related to the Contributed Assets, and
shall permit them to consult, during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, with
the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and agents of the Participant and its subsidiaries
for the purpose of making such investigation of the Contributed Assets as such Participant shall
desire to make. Each Participant contributing assets shall make

7

 

available to each other Participant all such documents and copies of documents and records and
information with respect to the Contributed Assets as the other Participant may reasonably request.
If Apollo and Carlyle agree, the Contributed Assets shall be contributed to the Company at the
agreed valuation therefor subject to the prior negotiation and agreement to the terms of definitive
documentation which is appropriate for the transfer of such Contributed Assets and which definitive
documentation shall contain customary representations and warranties, covenants, indemnification
provisions (including customary caps and thresholds) and closing conditions (including compliance
with all applicable regulatory requirements). Within five (5) days of the closing of the transfer
of Contributed Assets, the Company shall deliver a Call Notice pursuant to Section 10.1 to each
Participant which did not transfer Contributed Assets to the Company in such closing, setting forth
the agreed upon fair market value of the Contributed Assets times such Participant’s percentage of
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in the first sentence of Section 3.2(b),
together with the determination of the Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock described in the
definition of Fair Market Value. Subject to the satisfaction of Section 6.2, each Participant

the agreed upon fair market value of the Contributed Assets times such Participant’s percentage of
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in the first sentence of Section 3.2(b)
and receive the number of shares of Common Stock which is equal to the capital contribution made by
such Participant pursuant to this Section 3.2(f) divided by the Fair Market Value of shares of
Common Stock.

3.3 Termination and Survival of Rights and Obligations. A Participant’s obligation to pay
consideration due to the Company for shares of capital stock purchased under this Article III shall
survive (a) the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for

purchase of such Participant’s shares of capital stock by the other Participants or a third person,
whether pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement or otherwise. The Company may pursue and enforce
all rights and remedies that it may have against each Participant under this Article III,
including, without limitation, instituting a lawsuit to collect such payments with interest.

3.4 Optional Capital Calls. From and after the date that either (i) Apollo and its
Affiliates have purchased at least $801,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 or (ii) Carlyle and its Affiliates have purchased at least

Subsequent Closing Date, as follows:

4.1 Accredited Investor. Such Participant (a) is an “accredited investor” (as that term is
defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Act”)) because it is either (x) a corporation not formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the securities offered, and has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or (y) an entity in
which all of the equity owners are accredited investors, (b) has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment
contemplated hereby and (c) has reviewed the merits of such investment with tax and legal counsel
and other advisors to the extent deemed advisable. Such Participant will acquire its Purchased
Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof,
and such Participant has no present intention of distribution or selling to others any of such
interest.

4.2 Access. Such Participant has had access to all the information it considers necessary
or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment in the
Purchased Shares under this Agreement. Such Participant further has had the opportunity to obtain
all additional information necessary to verify the information to which such Participant has had
access.

4.3 Nature of Investment. Such Participant understands that the Purchased Shares are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the
Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Act and related
regulations such securities may be resold under the Act only in certain limited circumstances.
Such Participant is familiar with and understands such resale limitations imposed by the Act and
related regulations and by the Shareholders’ Agreement. Such Participant understands that the
Company has no present intention to register any of the Purchased Shares.

4.4 Authorization; Validity; No Conflicts. Such Participant is duly authorized (including
by all requisite corporate or stockholder (or equivalent, for entities other than corporations)
action on the part of such Participant and its officers and directors and its direct and indirect
stockholders (or equivalent equity owners, for entities other than corporations)), and has full
power and authority, to execute and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each
Additional Agreement to which it is a party, and each such agreement, when executed and delivered
by such Participant, constitutes such Participant’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms except (i) as the same may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and
other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the
court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. The execution, delivery and performance
by such Participant of this Agreement and each Additional Agreement

9

 

to which it is a party, and the consummation by such Participant of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement,
indenture or instrument to which such Participant is a party, (b) conflict with or violate such
Participant’s organizational documents or (c) result in a violation of any order, judgment or
decree of any court or governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such
Participant or any of its assets.

Participant is only making the representations and warranties set forth in this Article IV, and no
other representations or warranties, express or implied, are made by such other Participant.

the Company, Carlyle and Apollo shall execute an amended and restated Shareholders’ Agreement in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”), pursuant to
which the Company, Carlyle and Apollo shall impose certain restrictions on the transfer of Shares
(as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement) and set forth their agreement with respect to certain
other matters as described therein. Each of Apollo and Carlyle agrees that no sale, assignment or
transfer of its Purchased Shares shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be required
to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer, unless (a) the sale, assignment or
transfer of such Purchased Shares is registered under the Act or (b) such sale, assignment or

and Apollo executed, and caused the Company to execute, a Registration Rights Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

7.3 Further Assurances. The Company, Apollo and Carlyle agree to use their best efforts to
obtain all necessary consents and approvals and expiration of all waiting periods (including all
required governmental and regulatory approvals and waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended), for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Company, Apollo and Carlyle further agree to take or cause to
be taken all such corporate (or equivalent, for entities other than corporations) and other action,
including executing and/or delivering further instruments and documents, as may be necessary to
effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

7.4 Public Announcements. All press releases and other public disclosure concerning the
existence or terms of this Agreement, the Additional Agreements or the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby from and after the date hereof will be subject to review by and approval each of
Apollo and Carlyle, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

13

 

provided, that to the extent a Participant shall have received the written advice of
counsel that it is required to make an announcement pursuant to any law, regulation, order or stock
exchange rule, it shall be permitted to do so even if it has not obtained the approval of the other
Participant so long as it has used reasonable efforts to consult with and obtain consent of the
other Participant to the content of the announcement and strictly limits such announcement to the
minimum disclosure required.

7.5 Master Support Agreement. The Company and Apollo shall use their reasonable efforts
to execute and deliver a Master Support Agreement on terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by
Apollo and Carlyle, which terms will include the reimbursement of Apollo’s expenses for such
services at rates to be mutually agreed upon by Apollo and Carlyle.

7.6
International Students. Apollo and Carlyle expect that from and after the date that
the International Assets (as defined in Section 10.1) are transferred to the Company, all
educational and other related activities directed toward International Students engaged by Apollo
or its Subsidiaries shall be engaged in by the Company (or its Subsidiaries) to the exclusion of
Apollo and its other Subsidiaries. Apollo agrees that during the period which commences on the
date that the International Assets have been contributed to the Company and ends on the last day of
the term of this Agreement, neither Apollo nor any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company or
its Subsidiaries) shall solicit or recruit International Students. Apollo and its Subsidiaries
shall use their reasonable best efforts to transfer the International Assets to the Company within
eighteen (18) months after the date of this Agreement. In the event that any International Asset
is not contributed to the Company notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Apollo and
its Subsidiaries, representatives of Apollo and Carlyle shall meet immediately after the meeting of
the board of directors of the Company which follows the eighteen (18) month anniversary of this
Agreement and engage in good faith negotiations regarding the reclassification of such
International Asset that has not been contributed to the Company as a “Reclassified Asset” for
purposes of this Agreement. Apollo agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or
condition its consent to the reclassification of an International Asset which is not contributed to
the Company as a Reclassified Asset. Apollo agrees that commencing on the date that a business(es)
or asset(s) become a Reclassified Asset, neither Apollo nor its Subsidiaries (other than the
Company or its Subsidiaries) shall directly or indirectly solicit International Students by,
through or for the benefit of the Reclassified Asset or any part or division thereof until the last
day of the term of this Agreement. In the event that after the date of this Agreement either
Apollo or its Subsidiaries (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries) acquire any Person,
business or assets that are either (a) within the Investment Scope and the holders of a majority of
the Class B Common Stock have not withheld their consent to such acquisition pursuant to paragraph
2(b)(1)(iv) of the Shareholders’ Agreement (if such consent is required under such paragraph) or
(b) not within the Investment Scope because the principal operations and facilities of the
educational services business of the acquired Person, business or assets are located within the
United States but such Person, business or assets also include secondary or ancillary educational
services operations and facilities outside of the United States (an “Ancillary International
Business”), neither Apollo nor any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries)
shall directly or indirectly solicit International Students by, through or for the benefit of
either an International Asset described in clause (a) of this sentence or an Ancillary
International Business for a period which commences on the date that such

14

 

International Asset or Ancillary International Business is acquired or controlled by Apollo or its
Subsidiaries and ends on the last day of the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the first
sentence of this Section 7.6 but subject to clause (b) of the fourth sentence of this Section 7.6,
neither Apollo nor its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited or restricted in any manner from
advertising, promoting or marketing: (I) to students and prospective students generally, including
advertising, promoting or marketing via the internet (or using internet search methods) any
programs or educational services to students and prospective students (including leads for
prospective students) so long as such advertising, promotions or marketing activities are not
developed for, intended to target or otherwise directed to, International Students; or (II) any
business or assets that:(x) are not within the Investment Scope (as defined in the Shareholders’
Agreement); (y) are not actually engaged in, used for or planned to be engaged in or used for
marketing, promoting, soliciting, responding to leads and related activities for, or on behalf of,
education or corporate training programs or services for International Students and (z) have been
acquired by Apollo or its Subsidiaries in accordance with this Agreement.

Participant holds all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.

settled by arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules
then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of
the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with
arbitration, and to service of process by first class United States mail delivered in accordance
with the applicable rules of such courts. The award entered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final

expenses and shall each pay its pro rata share of the arbitrator’s charges and expenses. All
proceedings shall be conducted, and all submissions shall be made, in English.

9.2 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the obligations
imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and

15

 

that irreparable damage may result in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced
(including without limitation any restrictions on transfer of Purchased Shares) and the parties
hereto agree that any damages available at law for a breach of this Agreement would not be an
adequate remedy. Therefore, the provisions hereof and the obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be
applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies and all other remedies provided for
in this Agreement shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any
other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

9.3 NO EXTRAORDINARY DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERM OR PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT,
NEITHER PARTY NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
PARTY OR ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, FOR CLAIMS FOR PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY,
INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT,
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE DECEPTIVE
TRADE PRACTICES ACT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLE.

of the State of Delaware, without reference to conflicts of laws principles.

of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a
period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept

     Section 4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation,
for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of

 

 

Incorporation, shall be called by the President or Secretary at the request in writing of a
majority of the members of the Board of Directors or at the request in writing of stockholders

represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting or the stockholders
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn
the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a
quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be
present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting

to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose
of any other lawful action. The record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days
before the date of such meeting, and not more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no
record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on
the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of
stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to

2

 

any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new
record date for the adjourned meeting.

     Section 10. Action at Meetings. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of
the holders of a majority of the shares of stock having voting power present in person or
represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is
one upon which by express provision of applicable law or of the Certificate of Incorporation, a
different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the
decision of such question.

     Section 11. Voting and Proxies. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote
in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such
stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date, unless the proxy
provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to
be irrevocable and unless it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an
irrevocable power.

     Section 12. Action by Stockholders Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in
the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting
of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special
meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by
the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its
registered office in the State of Delaware (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested), to its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the
corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are
recorded, provided, however, that action by written consent to elect directors, if less than
unanimous, shall be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all the directorships to which
directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are
vacant and are filled by such action. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a
meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not
consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled
to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written
consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the
corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware (by hand or by certified
or registered mail, return receipt requested), to its principal place of business, or to an officer
or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings or meetings of
stockholders are recorded.

the State of Delaware.

writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or
committee.

     Section 10. Telephonic Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by
the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee,
by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons

majority vote of the whole board, designate one or more committees. The Board of Directors may
designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent

another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or
disqualified member.

authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such
committee shall have the power or authority in reference to (a) approving, adopting or recommending
to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (b) adopting, amending or
repealing any Bylaw of the corporation. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names

compensation of directors. The directors shall be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at
each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting
of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any
director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee
meetings.

     Section 15. Resignation. Any director or officer of the corporation may resign at any
time. Each such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified
therein, or, if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by either the Board of Directors,
the President or the Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective unless expressly so provided in the resignation.

     Section 16. Removal. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation,
these Bylaws or applicable law, (a) the removal from the Board of Directors (with or without cause)
of any of the Class A Common Stock Directors shall be at the written request of those stockholders
holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, and only upon such request and under no
other circumstances, and (b) the removal from the Board of Directors (with or without cause) of any
of the Class B Common Stock Directors shall be at the written request of those stockholders holding

ARTICLE IV.

NOTICES

     Section 1. Notice to Directors and Stockholders. Whenever, under the provisions of
the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, notice is required to be
given to any director or stockholder, it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such
notice may be given in writing, by mail or nationally recognized overnight courier, addressed to
such director or stockholder, at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation, with
postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given five days after the same shall
be deposited in the United States mail or one day after delivery to a nationally recognized
overnight courier. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer
agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall in the absence of fraud, be prima
facie evidence of the facts stated therein. Notice to directors may also be given by telephone or
facsimile (with confirmation of receipt).

     Section 2. Waiver. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions
of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in
writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. The written waiver need not specify the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the
stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors. Attendance of a person at a
meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a
meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of
any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Attendance at the meeting is
not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to be included in the notice of the meeting but not so
included, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.

or agent of the corporation.

     Section 8. Vice-President. In the absence of the President or in the event of the
President’s inability or refusal to act, the Vice-President, if any (or in the event there be more
than one Vice-President, the Vice-Presidents in the order designated by the Board of Directors, or
in the absence of any designation, then in the order of their election) shall perform the duties of

any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights
in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than
sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to

meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the
Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

     Section 6. Registered Stockholders. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize
the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive

or agent of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines,
amounts paid in settlement and/or other matters referred to in or covered by that Section, by

partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) shall be paid by the corporation in advance
of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on

provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; provided, however, the
corporation shall not be required to advance such expenses to a director (i) who commences any
action, suit or proceeding as a plaintiff unless such advance is specifically approved by a

corporation, or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such director’s duty to the
corporation or its stockholders.

under this Article VIII shall be offset to the extent the indemnified party is indemnified by any
other source including, but not limited to, any applicable insurance coverage under a policy
maintained by the corporation, the indemnified party or any other person.

     Section 4. Continuing Obligation. The provisions of this Article VIII shall be deemed
to be a contract between the corporation and each director of the corporation who serves in such
capacity at any time while this bylaw is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall
not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or
theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in
whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

     Section 5. Nonexclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for
in this Article VIII shall (i) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office, (ii) continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director

12

 

action, suit or proceeding who the corporation may indemnify under Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

EXHIBIT C

AMENDED AND RESTATED

SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

 

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

          THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of July 28, 2009, by and among Apollo Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), Apollo Group, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Apollo”), CVP III
Coinvestment, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CVP”), Carlyle Venture Partners III,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Carlyle” and, together with Apollo, CVP, and each
Affiliate of Carlyle and Apollo that hereafter becomes a Shareholder, collectively the
“Investor Shareholders”), and the Persons listed on Schedule I attached hereto or
who otherwise agree to be bound by the provisions hereof as an Other Shareholder by executing a
joinder agreement (the “Other Shareholders”). Apollo, Carlyle, CVP and the Other
Shareholders are collectively referred to herein as the “Shareholders.” Unless otherwise
indicated herein, capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 14 hereof.

          WHEREAS, Apollo and Carlyle are parties to an Amended and Restated Capital Contribution
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Capital Contribution Agreement”);

          WHEREAS, the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement to restrict the sale, assignment,
transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Shareholder Shares (as defined below) and to
provide for certain rights and obligations in respect thereto as hereinafter provided.;

          WHEREAS, the Company and Shareholders desire to amend and restate, in its entirety, that
certain Shareholders Agreement entered into as of October 22, 2007 (the “Original
Agreement”);

          WHEREAS, the Original Agreement is being amended in accordance with paragraph 16;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valid consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend and
restate the Original Agreement in its entirety as follows:

          1. Board Observers and Expenses.

have the right to designate and remove two representatives (each such representative, a “Board
Observer”) who shall (1) have the right to receive due notice of and to attend and participate
in discussions at (but not vote on any matters on which the directors are entitled to vote) all
meetings of the Board and all meetings of committees of the Board, (2) have the right to receive
copies of all documents and other information, including minutes, consents, business plans,
presentation materials, budgets and financial information furnished generally to members of the

each Board Observer). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, on any date that Carlyle and its
Affiliates do not own, in the aggregate, either (i) ten percent (10%) (or more) of the issued and
outstanding Shareholder Shares or (y) shares of the Company Stock with a Fair Market Value of one
hundred million dollars (or more), Carlyle shall have the right to designate and remove only one

          (b) The Company will pay or promptly reimburse the actual reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by each member of the Board and each Board Observer in connection with attending meetings
of the Board or any committee of the Board.

               (ii) incur any Company Indebtedness, or issue or sell any debt securities or other rights to

Company’s assets unless otherwise approved by the Investor Shareholders;

               (iii) declare, set aside or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions (whether
in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of its capital stock;

               (iv) hire or terminate the employment of the Company’s President, Chief Financial Officer or
Chief Operating Officer;

               (v) establish or materially modify the compensation or benefits payable or to become payable
by the Company to the Company’s President, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operating Officer,
other than benefits generally provided to senior management or employees on the same terms; or

               (vi) approve the annual operating plan and budget.

          (b) Matters Requiring Approval of Each Class of Common Stock.

               (1) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of (i) stockholders holding a
majority of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, and (ii) stockholders holding a majority of the
outstanding Class B Common Stock (which in each case consent may be given or withheld in such
stockholder’s sole discretion):

               (i) (a) dissolve or wind-up the Company, (b) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any
petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other Federal, state or
foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (c) consent to the institution of,
or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or the filing of any
petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other Federal, state or
foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (d) apply for or consent to the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for
the Company or any Subsidiary or for a substantial part of the property or assets of the Company
or any Subsidiary, (e) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed
against it in any proceeding described in clause (b) above, (f) make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or (g) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

               (ii) amend, revise, modify, supplement or discontinue the Investment Scope; or

               (iii) amend, modify or restate the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company in
any respect.

               (2) On any date that Carlyle and its Affiliates own, in the aggregate, either (i) ten
percent (10%) (or more) of the issued and outstanding Shareholder Shares or (ii) shares of the
Company Stock with a Fair Market Value of one hundred million dollars (or more), the Company
shall not, without the prior written consent of (i) stockholders holding a majority of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock, and (ii) stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding
Class B Common Stock (which in each case consent may be given or withheld in such stockholder’s
sole discretion):

               (i) acquire or sell any interest in any business or entity with, individually or in the
aggregate, an enterprise value in excess of the lesser of (i) $150,000,000 or (ii) 33.33% of the

with US GAAP and as reflected in the Company’s most recently completed consolidated balance
sheet, and that requires the Company to incur incremental debt or equity financing;

               (ii) make or commit to make any capital expenditure outside of the ordinary course of
business and in excess of the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 or (ii) 10% of the Company’s total
shareholder equity plus indebtedness for borrowed money, determined in accordance with US GAAP
and as reflected in the Company’s most recently completed consolidated balance sheet, and that
requires incremental debt or equity financing; or

3

 

               (iii) except as otherwise provided in Section 5(a) or 5(b) of Article VII of the Bylaws, the
Company will not make any loan (other than intercompany loans) to any Person which is outside the
ordinary course of business of the Company.

          (c) Matters Requiring Approval of Unaffiliated Investor Shareholders.

               (i) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent or affirmative vote of Apollo,
enter into or be a party to any material transaction with Carlyle or any Affiliate, member,
partner, director, officer or employee of Carlyle or any “associate” (as defined in Rule 12b-2
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) of any
such Person or Carlyle, except for transactions expressly provided for in this Agreement or the
Capital Contribution Agreement.

               (ii) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent or affirmative vote of Carlyle,
enter into or be a party to any material transaction with Apollo or any Affiliate, member, partner,
director, officer or employee of Apollo or any “associate” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) of any such Person or Apollo, except for (w) transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the Capital Contribution Agreement, (x) the employment of persons currently

this Agreement and before the execution of the Support Services Agreement for such professionals’
reasonable fees and expenses for the due diligence of potential investments within the Investment
Scope, or (z) pursuant to a Support Services Agreement between Apollo and the Company whereby
Apollo will provide services to the Company upon terms and conditions satisfactory to Apollo and
Carlyle.

          (d) EITF No. 96-16. Apollo and Carlyle acknowledge that the approval rights granted
to Carlyle as set forth in paragraph 2(b) above are intended to be “protective rights” rather than
“participating rights”, as described in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96 -16 (“EITF No.
96-16”). Apollo and Carlyle further acknowledge that, unless otherwise agreed by Apollo and
Carlyle, none of the approval rights granted to Carlyle hereunder will be in any way amended,
terminated or revoked to the extent that at anytime hereafter any of the approval rights granted to
Carlyle hereunder are re-characterized as being “participating rights” and not “protective rights”
under EITF No. 96-16 or any successor to it, or under any other accounting policy, standard or
procedure which may become applicable to the same subject matter as comprehended by EITF No. 96-16.

          (e) The Company’s accounting methods and policies shall be consistent with the accounting
methods and policies of Apollo except as required by GAAP;

          3. Restrictions on Transfer of Shareholder Shares.

          (a) Transfer of Shareholder Shares. No holder of Shareholder Shares may sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of (a
“Transfer”) any Shareholder Shares or any interest in any Shareholder Shares, including to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Permitted Transfers, prior to October 22, 2012
and, following such date, may Transfer Shareholder Shares or an interest in Shareholder Shares only
pursuant to and in accordance with paragraphs 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 5 or 9 below.

4

 

          (b) Right of First Offer. Prior to making any Transfer, other than as permitted under
paragraph 3(d) below, a holder of Shareholder Shares wishing to transfer such Shareholder Shares
(the “Selling Shareholder”) shall deliver written notice in accordance with paragraph 22
(the “Transfer Notice”) to each Investor Shareholder and the Company. The Transfer Notice
shall disclose in reasonable detail the number of Shareholder Shares to be transferred, the cash
purchase price (the “Offer Price”) at which the Selling Shareholder proposes to sell such
number of Shareholder Shares, and the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. The Transfer
Notice shall constitute a binding offer to sell the subject Shareholder Shares to the Investor
Shareholders (other than the Selling Shareholder) and, if and to the extent that any such
Shareholder Shares are not purchased by such Selling Shareholders, to the Company, in each case on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice and in accordance with this paragraph
3(b). The Investor Shareholders may elect to purchase, pro-rata based on the number of Shareholder
Shares held by each, all or any portion of the Shareholder Shares to be transferred upon the same
economic terms and conditions as those set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivering a written
notice of such election to the Selling Shareholder and the Company within 10 business days after
the Transfer Notice has been delivered pursuant to this paragraph 3(b), provided that all elections
by Carlyle’s Affiliates shall be made by Carlyle on behalf of its Affiliates. If the Investor
Shareholders have not elected to purchase all of the Shareholder Shares to be transferred, the
Company may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the remaining Shareholder Shares to be
transferred upon the same economic terms and conditions as those set forth in the Transfer Notice
by delivering written notice in accordance with paragraph 22 of such election to the Selling
Shareholder within 15 business days after the Transfer Notice has been delivered pursuant to this
paragraph 3(b) (such date, the “Authorization Date”). If the Investor Shareholders and the
Company do not elect to purchase all of the Shareholder Shares specified in the Transfer Notice,
the Selling Shareholder may Transfer the remaining Shareholder Shares specified in the Transfer
Notice at a cash price no less than the Offer Price and on terms no more favorable to the Proposed
Purchaser than those specified in the Transfer Notice during the 60 day period immediately
following the Authorization Date. If the Investor Shareholders or the Company have elected to
purchase Shareholder Shares pursuant to this paragraph 3(b), the Transfer of such shares shall be
consummated as soon as practicable after the delivery of the election notice(s) to the Selling
Shareholder, but in any event within 30 days after the Authorization Date.

          (c) Participation Rights.

               (i) At least 30 days prior to any Transfer of shares of Company Stock by any of Apollo or any
of its Affiliates (the “Transferring Apollo Shareholder”) for value (other than pursuant to
a Permitted Transfer or an Approved Sale as to which Carlyle has an independent right to approve
under paragraph 5(a) as a consequence of Carlyle and its Affiliates owning, in the aggregate,
either (i) seven and one-half percent (7.5%) (or more) of issued and outstanding Shareholders
Shares or (ii) shares of the Company Stock with a Fair Market Value of seventy-five million dollars
($75,000,000) (or more)), the Transferring Apollo Shareholder will deliver written notice in
accordance with paragraph 22 (the “Sale Notice”) to the Company, the other Investor
Shareholders (including Carlyle and its Affiliates) and the Other Shareholders, specifying in
reasonable detail the identity of the Proposed Purchaser and the terms and conditions of the
Transfer. Notwithstanding any of the restrictions contained in this paragraph 3, any or all of the
other Investor Shareholders (including Carlyle and its Affiliates) and Other Shareholders may

5

 

elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice in accordance
with paragraph 22 (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Transferring Apollo Shareholder within 15
business days after the date that such Sale Notice is deemed given pursuant to paragraph 22,
provided that all Tag-Along Notices of Carlyle’s Affiliates shall be delivered by Carlyle on behalf
of its Affiliates. If no Tag-Along Notice is received by the Transferring Apollo Shareholder
within such 15 business day period, the other Investor Shareholders and the Other Shareholders
shall not have the right to participate in the Transfer, and the Transferring Apollo Shareholder
shall have the right, during the succeeding three-month period, to transfer to the Proposed
Purchaser up to the number of shares of Common Stock stated in the Sale Notice, on terms and
conditions no more favorable to the Transferring Apollo Shareholder than those stated in the Sale
Notice. If any of the other Investor Shareholders or Other Shareholders have elected to
participate in such Transfer (such Shareholders, “Participating Shareholders”), each of the
Transferring Apollo Shareholder and each Participating Shareholder will be entitled to sell in the
contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, up to a number of shares of Common
Stock which is determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such
Participating Shareholder on the date that the Tag-Along Notice is furnished by (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock which the Proposed Purchaser desires
to purchase and the denominator of which is the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock
which are owned by the Transferring Apollo Shareholder and (y) the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock owned by all of the Participating Shareholders on the date that the Tag-Along Notice
is furnished.

               (ii) The Transferring Apollo Shareholder will use reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement
of the Proposed Purchaser to the participation of the Participating Shareholders in any
contemplated Transfer, and the Transferring Apollo Shareholder will not transfer any of its Common
Stock to the Proposed Purchaser unless (A) simultaneously with such Transfer, the Proposed
Purchaser purchases from the Participating Shareholders the number of shares of Common Stock which
such Participating Shareholders are entitled to sell to the Proposed Purchaser under paragraph
3(c)(i) or (B) simultaneously with such Transfer, the Transferring Apollo Shareholder purchases (at
the same price and on the same terms and conditions on which such shares were sold to the Proposed
Purchaser) the number of shares of Common Stock from the Participating Shareholders which the
Participating Shareholders are entitled to sell to the Proposed Purchaser under paragraph 3(c)(i).

               (iii) The Transferring Apollo Shareholder and the Participating Shareholders will bear their
pro-rata share (based upon the number of shares of Common Stock sold by such Person in relation to
the number of shares of Common Stock sold by all Persons in such Transfer) of the out-of-pocket
costs of any Transfer pursuant to this paragraph 3(c) which are borne by the Transferring Apollo
Shareholder to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Persons participating in
the Transfer and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by
the Participating Shareholders participating in the Transfer on their own behalf will not be
considered costs of the Transfer hereunder.

               (iv) No Participating Shareholder participating in a sale of shares of the Common Stock
pursuant to this paragraph 3(c) shall be required to provide any indemnification other than on a
several basis with such Participating Shareholder’s indemnification obligation to the Proposed
Purchaser (or Transferring Apollo Shareholder in the event that it purchases shares

6

 

of the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 3(c)(ii)) limited to the pro rata share of the
aggregate purchase price received by all Shareholders that such Participating Shareholder receives
at the closing of the Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participating Shareholder
electing to participate does not agree to execute and deliver or does not execute and deliver any
documentation required by this paragraph 3(c)(iv) within ten (10) days after receipt thereof in
connection with the Transfer, such Participating Shareholder shall be deemed to have withdrawn its
request to participate and shall not be entitled to participate in the proposed Transfer.

          (d) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in paragraph 3 will not apply to
(i) a Public Sale, (ii) an Approved Sale, (iii) a Transfer of Shareholder Shares by any Shareholder
to a trust solely for the benefit of such Shareholder and such Shareholder’s spouse and/or
descendants (or a re-Transfer of such Shareholder Shares by such trust back to such Shareholder
upon the revocation of any such trust) or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, (iv) a
Transfer by any Shareholder to an Affiliate of such Shareholder (and subsequent Transfers by such
Affiliates to other Affiliates of such Shareholder), so long as such Transfer does not cause the
Company to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 12(g)
thereof; provided that the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply
to the Shareholder Shares after any Transfer pursuant to clauses (iii) or (iv) above and the
transferees of such Shareholder Shares pursuant to such clauses shall agree in writing to be bound
by the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the Transfer of Shareholder Shares pursuant to clauses
(iii) or (iv) of this subparagraph 3(d), the transferor will deliver a written notice to the
Company and the Investor Shareholders, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity
of such transferee.

          (e) Termination of Restrictions. The rights and restrictions set forth in this
paragraph 3 will continue with respect to each Shareholder Share until the first to occur of (i):
date on which such Shareholder Share has been transferred in a Public Sale; (ii) the consummation
of an Approved Sale; (iii) a closing described in paragraph 9(c) or (iv) October 22, 2015.

          4. Preemptive Rights.

          (a) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries proposes to issue and sell any of its equity
securities or any securities containing options or rights to acquire any equity securities or any
securities convertible into equity securities for value, the Company will offer in a written notice
furnished in accordance with paragraph 22 to sell to each Investor Shareholder a portion of the
number or amount of such securities proposed to be sold in any such transaction or series of
related transactions equal to the product of the percentage each such Investor Shareholder holds of
all Common Stock then held by all of the Shareholders by the number of securities proposed to be
issued and sold by the Company in any such transaction or series of related transactions, all for
the same price and upon the same economic terms and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as
the securities that are being offered in such transaction or series of transactions. If any
Investor Shareholder having preemptive rights under this paragraph 4 fails to accept such offer in
whole or in part within the period provided below in paragraph 4(c), the Company shall offer in a
written notice furnished in accordance with paragraph 22 the securities that were not so accepted
to all Investor Shareholders who elected to accept such offer in whole or in part, in the same
proportion as the respective Common Stock held by such electing Investor

7

 

Shareholder bears to the aggregate Common Stock held by all Investor Shareholders who elected
to accept such initial offer in whole or in part. Each electing Investor Shareholder shall have an
additional period of ten days from and after the date of the Company’s re-offer within which to
accept such re-offer in whole or in part. If an Investor Shareholder elects to accept such offer
in whole or in part, such Investor Shareholder shall so accept by written notice to the Company
given within such 10-day period, provided that all acceptances by Carlyle’s Affiliates shall be
made by Carlyle on behalf of its Affiliates. No further offer to the Investor Shareholders under
this paragraph 4 is then required with respect to the same offering of securities, except as
otherwise required in paragraph 4(c).

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph 4 shall not be applicable
to the issuance of equity securities (i) pursuant to the Capital Contribution Agreement, (ii) upon
the exercise of warrants or options or upon the conversion of shares of one class of capital stock
into shares of another class in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, or (iii) as a stock dividend or any stock split or other subdivision or combination
of the outstanding equity securities; provided, however, the provisions of this
paragraph 4 shall terminate upon completion of a Public Offering.

          (c) The Company will cause to be given to the Investor Shareholders a written notice delivered
in accordance with paragraph 22 setting forth in reasonable detail the terms and conditions upon
which they may purchase such shares or other securities, including, without limitation, the number
of shares or other securities offered by the Company, the price at which such shares or other
securities are being offered and the date on which the sale is to be completed (the “Preemptive
Notice”). After receiving a Preemptive Notice, if any of the Investor Shareholders wishes to
exercise the preemptive rights granted by this paragraph 4 it must give notice to the Company in
writing, within 15 business days after the date that such Preemptive Notice is deemed given
pursuant to paragraph 22 (subject to extension in the event of a re-offer described in paragraph
3(a) above), stating the quantity of the shares or other securities offered pursuant to this
paragraph 4 it agrees to purchase on the terms and conditions set forth in the Preemptive Notice
(the “Preemptive Reply”), provided that all Preemptive Replies by Carlyle’s Affiliates
shall be made by Carlyle on behalf of its Affiliates. The closing for the sale of the shares or
other securities subject to the Preemptive Notice shall occur no earlier than 5 business days after
the Preemptive Reply. If the Investor Shareholders fail to make a Preemptive Reply in accordance
with this paragraph 4 within the 15-business day period specified in this paragraph 4(c) (subject
to extension in the event of a re-offer described in paragraph 3(a) above), shares or other
securities offered to it in accordance with this paragraph 4 may thereafter, for a period not
exceeding 120 days following the expiration of such 15-business day period, be issued, sold or
subjected to rights or options to any purchaser at a price not less than the price at which they
were offered to such Investor Shareholders and on other terms and conditions no more favorable to
the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Investor Shareholders. Any such shares or other
securities not so issued, sold or subjected to rights or options to any purchaser during such
120-day period will thereafter again be subject to the preemptive rights provided for in this
paragraph 4.

          5. Sale of the Company.

8

 

          (a) If Shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Carlyle approve
(and, in the case of any sale or other fundamental change which requires the approval of the board
of directors of a Delaware corporation pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board
shall have approved such sale or other fundamental change) a sale of all or substantially all of
the Company’s assets determined on a consolidated basis or a sale of a majority of the Company’s
outstanding capital stock (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization,
combination or otherwise) to any Independent Third Party or group of Independent Third Parties
(collectively an “Approved Sale”), the Company shall deliver written notice to the
Shareholders setting forth in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of the Approved Sale
(including, to the extent then determined, the consideration to be paid with respect to each class
of the Company’s capital stock), provided however that on any date that Carlyle and its Affiliates
do not own, in the aggregate, either (i) seven and one-half percent (7.5%) (or more) of the issued
and outstanding Shareholder Shares or (ii) shares of the Company Stock with a Fair Market Value of
seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000) (or more), Carlyle shall not have an independent right
to approve an Approved Sale. Each holder of Shareholder Shares will consent to and raise no
objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved Sale is structured as (i) a merger or
consolidation, each holder of Shareholder Shares will waive any dissenter’s rights, appraisal
rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of stock
(including by recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization, combination or otherwise), each
holder of Shareholder Shares will agree to sell all of its Shareholder Shares and rights to acquire
Shareholder Shares on the terms and conditions approved by the Board and such Shareholders. Each
holder of Shareholder Shares shall be obligated to join, severally and not jointly, on a pro rata
basis (based on the number of shares of the applicable class or series of Company Stock to be sold,
and, in the case of an asset sale, based upon the number of shares of Company Stock (and the
relative liquidation preferences of each class of Company Stock) owned beneficially on a Fully
Diluted Basis) in any indemnification or other obligations that the sellers of Shareholder Shares
are required to provide in connection with the Approved Sale (other than any such obligations that
relate solely to a particular Shareholder, such as indemnification with respect to representations
and warranties given by a Shareholder regarding such Shareholder’s title to and ownership of
Shareholder Shares being sold, in respect of which only such Shareholder shall be liable);
provided, that no holder shall be obligated in connection with such indemnification or
other obligations with respect to any amount in excess of the consideration received by such holder
in connection with such transfer. Each holder of Shareholder Shares will take all required actions
in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as reasonably requested. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this paragraph 5, neither Carlyle nor its Affiliates shall have any obligation
under this paragraph 5 to the extent that Carlyle has an independent right to approve an Approved
Sale under this paragraph 5 and Carlyle has not approved such Approved Sale. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this paragraph 5, neither Carlyle nor its Affiliates shall be required to provide any
indemnification other than on a several basis with the indemnification obligation of Carlyle and
its Affiliates limited to the pro rata share of the aggregate purchase price received by all
Shareholders at the closing of the Approved Sale.

          (b) The obligations of the holders of Company Stock with respect to an Approved Sale are
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions in addition to the conditions described in
paragraph 5(a): (i) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, each holder of Company Stock will
receive the same form of consideration and the same portion of the

9

 

aggregate consideration that such holders of Company Stock would have received if such
aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the
rights and preferences set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect
immediately prior to such Approved Sale; (ii) if any holders of a class of Company Stock are given
an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each holder of such class of
Company Stock will be given the same option; and (iii) each holder of then currently exercisable
rights to acquire shares of a class of Company Stock will be given an opportunity to (A) exercise
such rights prior to the consummation of the Approved Sale and participate in such sale as holders
of such class of Company Stock or (B) make a direct transfer of such rights.

          (c) If the Company or the holders of the Company’s securities enter into any negotiation or
transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including
a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the holders of Shareholder Shares that do not
qualify as “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 (or any similar rule then in
effect) promulgated by the Securities And Exchange Commission) will, at the request of the Company,
appoint a “purchaser representative” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of
Shareholder Shares appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company, the Company will
pay the fees of such purchaser representative, but if any holder of Shareholder Shares declines to
appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company, such holder will appoint another
purchaser representative, and such holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser
representative so appointed.

          (d) Each holder of Shareholder Shares will bear its pro-rata share (based upon the number of
shares sold by such holder of Company Stock in relation to the number of shares sold by all holders
in such Approved Sale of Company Stock) of the out-of-pocket costs of any sale of Shareholder
Shares pursuant to an Approved Sale which are borne by either Investor Shareholder to the extent
such costs are incurred for the benefit of all holders of Shareholder Shares and are not otherwise
paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by holders of Shareholder Shares on
their own behalf will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder.

          (e) In connection with an Approved Sale, each holder of Shareholder Shares (other than Carlyle
and its Affiliates) hereby appoints Apollo as its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with
full power of substitution, to transfer such Shareholder Shares pursuant to the terms of such
Approved Sale and to execute any purchase agreement or other documentation required to consummate
such Approved Sale to the extent consistent with paragraph 5(a). Each Shareholder agrees to
execute and deliver any other documentation reasonably required to consummate the Approved Sale to
the extent consistent with paragraph 5(a). The powers granted in this clause (e) shall be deemed
to be coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable and shall survive death, incompetency or
dissolution of any such holder of Shareholder Shares.

          (f) The provisions of this paragraph 5 will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the
consummation of an Approved Sale and (ii) completion of a Public Offering.

10

 

          6.
Employee Phantom Stock Plan.

          The parties agree that phantom stock or similar bonuses will be offered to the management,
consultants and key employees of the Company pursuant to a bonus plan or similar arrangement on
terms and conditions satisfactory to the Board which will contemplate aggregate payments
representing a value of between ten percent (10%) and fifteen percent (15%) of the Company’s Common
Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Capital
Contribution Agreement).

          7.
Public Offering; Apollo Call.

          (a) At any time after October 22, 2011 (or as earlier agreed by Carlyle and Apollo), each of
Carlyle and Apollo may notify the other of its intent to explore a public listing of the Common
Stock. Following receipt of any such notice, the Company will solicit proposals from one or more
nationally recognized investment banks as to the feasibility, expected valuation, structure and
terms of the proposed listing of the Common Stock. If, after receiving such proposals, either of
Apollo or Carlyle determines in good faith that a public listing of the Company is inadvisable for
legitimate business reasons, Apollo or Carlyle may elect to defer the listing process by a period
of one (1) year. After the deferral period, if applicable, Carlyle and Apollo shall thereafter
again solicit proposals from one or more nationally recognized investment banks as to the
feasibility, expected valuation, structure and terms of the proposed public listing of the Common
Stock. If either of Apollo or Carlyle determines that the proposed public listing of the Common
Stock is then feasible, the parties shall, within sixty (60) days thereafter, pursue in good faith
the preparation of an S-1 (or F-1) registration statement (“Registration Statement”) with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. If neither Apollo nor Carlyle determines that the proposed
public listing is feasible within the time period specified in the preceding sentence, the deferral
described in this paragraph 7(a) shall be repeated. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph 7(a), on any date that Carlyle and its Affiliates do not own, in the aggregate, either
(i) ten percent (10%) (or more) of the Shareholder Shares or (ii) shares of the Company Stock with
a Fair Market Value of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), Carlyle shall not have any
rights under this paragraph 7(a).

          (b) At any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, Apollo shall have
an option to purchase the Company Stock held by Carlyle and its Affiliates at a price per share
equal to the midpoint of the filing range as set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement. If
Apollo elects to purchase Carlyle’s and its Affiliates’ Shares pursuant to this paragraph 7(b), the
transfer of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practicable after the delivery of the
notice(s) to Carlyle, but in any event within 30 days thereafter. Carlyle agrees to execute and
deliver any other documentation reasonably required to consummate the transfer pursuant to this
paragraph 7; provided that neither Carlyle nor its Affiliates shall be required to provide any
representations and warranties (other than those relating to their respective existence, capacity,
authorization, execution and delivery and unencumbered title to securities).

          8. Scope of Investments.

          (a) The Company will limit its investments to those exclusively in educational services
businesses with the following characteristics and limitations (the “Investment Scope”):

11

 

               (i) principal operations and facilities outside of the United States (to include Latin
America, Asia and Europe);

               (ii) provide post-secondary education (both degree and certificate programs), secondary and
high school-level education, corporate or vocational training, or services related such educational
and training programs, including distance learning services;

               (iii) attractive organic growth characteristics with target growth rates higher than
experienced in the United States where possible;

               (iv) ability to generate strong positive cash flows and sustain a reasonable amount of
financial leverage, including debt; and

               (v) businesses in which the Company can initially acquire a controlling interest or that have
a path to acquiring a controlling interest.

          (b) Neither Carlyle nor Apollo may make any investment exceeding $20,000,000 in any Person
whose primary line of business is within the Investment Scope except in accordance with this
paragraph 8. Prior to making any such investment, the Investor Shareholder (the “Proposed
Investor”), shall deliver written notice in accordance with paragraph 22 (the “Investor
Notice”) to the Company and the other Investor Shareholders disclosing in reasonable detail the
terms of the prospective investment. The Proposed Investor shall not consummate any such
investment until 60 days after the Investor Notice is deemed given to the Company and the other
Investor Shareholders pursuant to paragraph 22 (the “Investor Notice Period”). Subject to the
provisions of paragraph 2(b)(2)(i) the Company may elect to make such investment upon the same
economic terms and conditions as those set forth in the Investor Notice by delivering written
notice of such election to the Proposed Investor and the other Investor Shareholder within the
Investor Notice Period. If the Company does not for any reason elect to make the investment
described in the Investor Notice, then for a period of thirty (30) days after the expiration of the
Investor Notice Period, Carlyle may, in its sole discretion, elect by written notice delivered to
the Proposed Investor pursuant to paragraph 22 either to (x) make (together with its Affiliates)
the investment at a price and on the terms thus described in the Investor Notice or (y) co-invest
(together with its Affiliates) in the investment described in the Investor Notice with the Proposed
Investor on the basis of 80.1% of the aggregate investment being made by Apollo and its Affiliates
and 19.9% of the aggregate investment being made by Carlyle and its Affiliates, in each case at a
price and on terms described in the Investor Notice. The parties to each transaction described in
clauses (x) and (y) of the preceding sentence shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete
such transaction within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period. If
the Company elects to make the investment described in the Investor Notice but the stockholders
holding a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Stock do not approve the investment pursuant
to paragraph 2(b)(2)(i), the Proposed Investor may make the investment at a price and on terms no
more favorable to the Proposed Investor than those specified in the Investor Notice during the
ninety (90) day period following the Investor Notice Period.

          (c) Carlyle will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to refer equity
investment opportunities within the Investment Scope that are sourced by its Affiliates to the

12

 

Company, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to allow the Company
to co-invest alongside the applicable Carlyle Affiliate in any such transaction. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, Carlyle shall not have any obligation to use its reasonable best efforts
under this paragraph 8 to the extent that the use of such efforts is inconsistent with a fiduciary
or other obligation of Carlyle or any of its Affiliates.

          (d) The provisions of this paragraph 8 will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the
consummation of an Approved Sale, and (ii) completion of a Public Offering, provided that the
provisions of paragraph 8(c) will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of an
Approved Sale, (ii) the completion of a Public Offering or (iii) the first date that Carlyle no
longer owns any shares of the Company Stock.

          9. Buy/Sell Agreement.

          (a) Each Shareholder shall have the right, after October 22, 2012 to provide a written notice
in accordance with paragraph 22 (an “Offer”) to the other Investor Shareholder (the
“Offeree Shareholder”), to offer to sell all, but not less than all, of the interest of the
Selling Shareholder and its Affiliates in the Company to the Offeree Shareholder at a per share
purchase price and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Offer. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, no Shareholder may provide an Offer at any time during the period
which commences on the date that a Transfer Notice has been provided pursuant to paragraph 3(b) and
ends sixty-one (61) days after the Authorization Date described in paragraph 3(b).

          (b) The Offeree Shareholder must elect by written notice (the “Notice of Election”) to
the Selling Shareholder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer, either:

          (i) to sell the Offeree Shareholder’s entire interest in the Company to the Selling
Shareholder at the per share purchase price and on the other terms and conditions specified in the
Offer, or

          (ii) to purchase the entire interest of the Selling Shareholder and its Affiliates in the
Company at a purchase price equal to the price set forth in the Offer and on the other terms and
conditions specified in the Offer.

During such sixty (60) day period, subject to the terms of the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement
between Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. and Apollo dated August 2, 2007 (the
“Confidentiality Agreement”), each of the Offeree Shareholder and the Selling Shareholder
may perform a confirmatory due diligence evaluation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the
Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to the Offeree Shareholder’s and the
Selling Shareholder’s respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants,
advisors and agents reasonable access to and the right to inspect, during normal business hours and
with reasonable advance notice, all of the real property, properties, assets, records, contracts
and other documents related to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and shall permit them to consult,
during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, with the officers, employees,
accountants, counsel and agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the purpose of making such
investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Offeree

13

 

Shareholder and the Selling Shareholder shall desire to make. The parties agree that Carlyle shall
act in all respects under this paragraph 9(b) on behalf of all of its Affiliates including without
limitation providing Notices of Election.

          (c) If the Offeree Shareholder elects clause (i) of paragraph 9(b), the Investor Shareholders
shall, within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Notice of Election, execute such documents and
instruments reasonably required by the Selling Shareholder to sell and transfer the Offeree
Shareholder’s interest in the Company to the Selling Shareholder at the purchase price and on the
other terms and conditions specified in the Offer, which purchase price shall be payable in
immediately available funds, and the closing of such sale shall take place at the principal office
of the Company as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after
receipt of the Offer. At such closing, the Offeree Shareholder shall sell and transfer its entire
interest in the Company, and shall cause its Affiliates to sell and transfer their entitle interest
in the Company, to the Selling Shareholder free and clear of pledges, liens, security interests and
other encumbrances other than pledges arising out of Company financing.

          (d) If the Offeree Shareholder elects clause (ii) of paragraph 9(b), the Selling Shareholder
will sell its entire interest in the Company, and will cause its Affiliates to sell their entire
interest in the Company, to the Offeree Shareholder at the purchase price and on the other terms
and conditions specified in the Offer, and the Selling Shareholders shall, within ninety (90) days
after receipt of the Notice of Election, execute such documents and instruments reasonably required
by the Offeree Shareholder to sell and transfer the Selling Shareholder’s interest in the Company
to the Offeree Shareholder at the purchase price and on the other terms and conditions specified in
the Offer, which purchase price shall be payable in immediately available funds, and the closing of
such sale shall take place at the office of the Company as soon as practicable, but in any event
within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the Offer. At such closing, the Selling
Shareholder shall sell and transfer its entire interest in the Company to the Offeree Shareholder
free and clear of pledges, liens, security interests and other encumbrances other than pledges
arising out of Company financing.

Legend. Each certificate evidencing Shareholder Shares and each certificate issued in
exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Shareholder Shares (if such shares remain Shareholder
Shares as defined herein after such Transfer) will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend
in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF OCTOBER 22, 2007, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME
TO TIME, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”)
AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS. A COPY OF SUCH
SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE
COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

The Company will imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Shareholder Shares. The legend set
forth above will be removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be
Shareholder Shares in accordance with the definition of such terms as set forth in paragraph 14
hereof.

          12.
Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Shareholder Shares (other than in a Public Sale or

transferee to execute and deliver to the Company and the other Shareholders a Joinder Agreement.
The provisions of this paragraph 12 shall terminate upon the occurrence of (i) the consummation of
an Approved Sale and (ii) a Public Offering.

the completion of the BPP Transaction, each Shareholder agrees to cause the Certificate of
Incorporation to be amended and take any other action necessary so as to cause the authorized
Company Stock of each class to equal the amount of Company Stock of such class outstanding upon
completion of the BPP Transaction multiplied by 1.05. If the BPP Transaction is not completed on

amount of Company Stock of such class outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
redemption plus (ii) the amount of Company Stock of such class authorized immediately prior to
giving effect to such redemption minus the amount of Company Stock of such class outstanding
immediately prior to such redemption.

          (c) Subject to the Shareholders’ rights, if any, under Sections 2(b)(1)(i), 2(b)(1)(ii), or
2(b)(2), each Shareholder hereby agrees to cause the Certificate of Incorporation to be amended and
to take any other action necessary to increase the amount of authorized Company Stock to the extent
such stock is contemplated to be issued under Section 3.2 or 3.4 of the Capital Contribution
Agreement or paragraph 7 of this Agreement (notwithstanding the provisions of Section
2(b)(1)(iii)).

Exhibit A

JOINDER AGREEMENT

Apollo Global, Inc.

c/o Apollo Group, Inc.

4615 East Elwood Street

Phoenix, AZ 85040

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Reference is hereby made to that certain Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Shareholders’
Agreement”), dated as of October 22, 2007, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and
among Apollo Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Apollo Group, Inc., an
Arizona corporation, and Carlyle Venture Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Shareholders’ Agreement.

By execution and delivery of this Joinder Agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

1. Shareholders’ Agreement. The undersigned acknowledges that it is acquiring shares of the
Company’s Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions of the
Shareholders’ Agreement, and agrees that it shall become, and by execution and delivery of this
Agreement does become, and assumes each and every obligation of, a “Shareholder” under and as
defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement as of the date set forth below (the “Effective
Date”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the undersigned does not hereby
assume, and will not otherwise become subject to, any liability resulting from any breach, default
or failure to comply with any provision of the Shareholders’ Agreement by or on behalf of any
Person other than the undersigned.

2. Representations and Warranties. The undersigned represents and warrants to the Company
and the existing Shareholders as of the Effective Date and, to the extent that the undersigned
purchases additional shares of Common Stock from the Company on any Subsequent Closing Date (as
defined in the Capital Contribution Agreement, by and among the Company, Apollo Group, Inc. and
Carlyle Venture Partners III, L.P.), the undersigned will represent and warrant to the Company and
the existing Shareholders on such Subsequent Closing Date as follows:

     2.1 Accredited Investor. The undersigned (a) is an “accredited investor” (as that term
is defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”)) because it is either (x) a corporation not formed for the specific
purpose of acquiring the securities offered, and has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or (y) an
entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors, (b) has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the investment contemplated hereby and (c) has reviewed the merits of such investment with tax and
legal counsel and other advisors to the extent deemed advisable. The undersigned will acquire

 

 

the Purchased Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or
distribution thereof, and the undersigned has no present intention of distribution or selling to
others any of such interest.

     2.2 Access. The undersigned has had access to all the information it considers
necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment in
the Purchased Shares. The undersigned further has had the opportunity to obtain all additional
information necessary to verify the information to which the undersigned has had access.

     2.3 Nature of Investment. The undersigned understands that the Purchased Shares are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the
Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Act and related
regulations such securities may be resold under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. The
undersigned is familiar with and understands such resale limitations imposed by the Act and related
regulations and by the Shareholders’ Agreement. The undersigned understands that the Company has no
present intention to register any of the Purchased Shares.

     2.4 Authorization; Validity; No Conflicts. The undersigned is duly authorized
(including by all requisite corporate or stockholder (or equivalent, for entities other than
corporations) action on the part of the undersigned and its officers and directors and its direct
and indirect stockholders (or equivalent equity owners, for entities other than corporations)), and
has full power and authority, to execute and perform its obligations under this Joinder Agreement
and the Shareholders’ Agreement, and constitutes the undersigned’s legal, valid and binding
obligation enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms except (i) as the same
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) that the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses
and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. The
execution, delivery and performance by the undersigned of this Joinder Agreement, the performance
by the undersigned of the Shareholders’ Agreement, and the consummation by the undersigned of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or constitute a default
under any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the undersigned is a party, (b) conflict with
or violate the undersigned’s organizational documents or (c) result in a violation of any order,
judgment or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
the undersigned or any of its assets.

3. Sale of Purchased Shares. In reliance upon the representations and warranties made by
the undersigned in this Joinder Agreement and the undersigned’s agreement herein to be bound by the
Shareholders’ Agreement as a “Shareholder” (as such term is used in the Shareholders’ Agreement),
the Company shall sell to the undersigned, and the undersigned shall purchase from the Company, the
following Purchased Shares:

	 	 	 
	Number of shares:

	 	 
	Price per share:
	 	 
	Total Purchase Price:

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

 

Execution

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
October 22, 2007, by and among Apollo Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
Apollo Group, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Apollo”) and Carlyle Ventures Partners III,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Carlyle” and, together with Apollo and each
Affiliate of Carlyle and Apollo that hereafter becomes a shareholder of the Company, the
“Shareholders”). Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used herein are
defined in paragraph 9 hereof.

RECITALS

     The Company, Apollo and Carlyle are parties to (i) a Joint Venture Agreement dated as of the
date hereof (the “Joint Venture Agreement”), and (ii) a Shareholders’ Agreement dated as of
the date hereof (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”).

     As a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Joint Venture
Agreement, the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement to provide the registration rights
set forth herein and to provide for certain rights and obligations in respect thereto as
hereinafter provided.

AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

     1. Demand Registrations.

     (a) Requests for Registration. At any time after the date that is 180 days after an
Initial Public Offering, (i) the holders of a majority of the Apollo Registrable Securities or (ii)
the holders of a majority of the Carlyle Registrable Securities, each may request registration
under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar
long-form registration statement (“Long-Form Registrations”) or, if available, such holders
may request registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities on
Form S-3 (including pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form
registration statement (“Short-Form Registrations”). Each request for a Demand
Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be
registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering. Within ten days after
receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration
to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to paragraph 1(d) below, will include
in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received
written requests for inclusion therein within 10 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.
Subject to paragraph 5(b), a Demand Registration shall not count as a request for registration
pursuant to this paragraph 1 if at least 50% of the Registrable Securities that the holders
initiating such Demand Registration have requested to be registered in such Demand Registration are
not registered for reasons other than their voluntary decision not to do so. All registrations
requested pursuant to this paragraph 1(a) are referred to herein as “Demand Registrations.”

 

     (b) Long-Form Registrations. The holders of a majority of the Apollo Registrable
Securities will be entitled to request four Long-Form Registrations in which the Company will pay
all Registration Expenses. The holders of a majority of the Carlyle Registrable Securities will be
entitled to request two Long-Form Registrations in which the Company will pay all Registration
Expenses. Subject to paragraph 5(b), a registration will not count as one of the permitted
Long-Form Registrations until it has become effective unless a Shareholder requesting a Long-Form
Registration that did not become effective elects to have its Registration Expenses paid by the
Company in connection with such Long-Form Registration. Subject to paragraph 5(b), a Company will
pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Long-Form
Registration whether or not it becomes effective. All Long-Form Registrations shall be
underwritten registrations.

     (c) Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided
pursuant to paragraph 1(b), the (i) holders of a majority of the Apollo Registrable Securities, and
(ii) holders of a majority of the Carlyle Registrable Securities, will each be entitled, subject to
the limitations set forth herein, to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in
which the Company will pay all Registration Expenses; provided that the aggregate offering
value of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by Apollo or Carlyle in any
Short-Form Registration must equal at least $[1,000,000] in the aggregate. Subject to paragraph
5(b), the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated
as a Short-Form Registration whether or not it becomes effective. Demand Registrations will be
Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. After
the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, the
Company will use its best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of
Registrable Securities, including but not limited to compliance with paragraph 8 hereof.

     (d) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company will not include in any Demand
Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent
of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration.
If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the
Company in writing (with a copy to each party hereto requesting registration of Registrable
Securities) that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder,
other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable
Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the
marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration prior to the inclusion
of any securities which are not Registrable Securities the number of Registrable Securities
requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely
affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the
basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by such Shareholder.

     (e) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company will not be obligated to effect
any Demand Registration within three months after the effective date of a previous Demand
Registration. The Company may postpone for up to three months the filing or the effectiveness of a
registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company’s board of directors determines in
its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration would

2

 

reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the
ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction;
provided that in such event, the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities initially
requesting such Demand Registration will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request
is withdrawn, such Demand Registration will not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations
hereunder and the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration;
provided, that the Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once in any
twelve-month period.

     (f) Selection of Underwriters. The holders of a majority of the Apollo Registrable
Securities included in any Demand Registration will have the right to select the investment
banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the (x) approval of the Board of
Directors of the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (y)
Carlyle’s right to name a co-manager for the offering if Carlyle Registrable Securities are to be
included in the offering. In the event that none of the Apollo Registrable Securities are included
in such Demand Registration, Carlyle will have the right to make such selection, subject to the
approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.

     (g) Other Registration Rights. The Company will not grant to any Persons the right to
request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible
or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities (whether as a demand registration or a
piggyback registration), without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the
Apollo Registrable Securities and of a majority of the Carlyle Registrable Securities.

     2. Piggyback Registrations.

     (a) Right to Piggyback. Upon completion by the Company of an Initial Public Offering
(and any Initial Public Offering that is not a Qualified IPO shall be undertaken only with the
prior written consent of Carlyle), whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities
(including any proposed registration of the Company’s securities by any third party) under the
Securities Act (other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or
similar forms) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable
Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), whether or not for sale for its own account, the
Company will give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention
to effect such a registration and will include in such registration all Registrable Securities of
the same class or series of securities that the Company proposes to register with respect to which
the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 30 days after the receipt of
the Company’s notice.

     (b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable
Securities will be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations whether or not such
registration is consummated.

3

 

     (c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing (with a copy to each party hereto requesting registration of Registrable Securities) that
in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the
number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of such
offering, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company
proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number
of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder and (iii) third, any other securities requested
to be included in such registration pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the number
of such securities owned by each such holder.

     (d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities, and the
managing underwriters advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each party hereto requesting
registration of Registrable Securities) that in their opinion the number of securities requested to
be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without
adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such
registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting
such registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro
rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities
owned by each such holder and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be included in such
registration.

     (e) Other Registrations. If the Company has previously filed a registration statement
with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to paragraph 1 or pursuant to this paragraph 2, and
if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company will not file or
cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities
convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act
(except on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or at the request of
any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least three months has elapsed from
the effective date of such previous registration.

     3. Holdback Agreements.

     (a) To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder of Registrable Securities
agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of
equity securities of the Company, or any securities, options or rights convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and the 180-day
period beginning on the effective date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering of Common Stock
under the Securities Act or during the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the
effective date of any other underwritten registration filed under the Securities Act (in each case,
except as part of such underwritten registration and except for such shorter period as the
underwriters managing the registered public offering and the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities otherwise agree in writing with respect to all holders of Registrable
Securities).

4

 

     (b) The Company agrees (i) not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity
securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities,
during the seven days prior to and during the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any
underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration (except as part of such
underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form),
unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree, and (ii) to cause
each holder of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for Common Stock, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other
than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution
(including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such securities during such period (except as part of
such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted), unless the underwriters managing the
registered public offering otherwise agree in writing.

     4. Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have
requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will
as expeditiously as possible:

     (a) prepare and (within 60 days after the end of the period within which requests for
registration may be given to the Company) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and thereafter use its best
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that before filing a
registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will
furnish to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement and their counsel and if Carlyle Registrable Securities are covered by such registration
statement to Carlyle and its counsel copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
documents will be subject to the review of such counsel);

     (b) notify each holder of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of each registration
statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of either
(i) not less than the number of days until all such securities have been disposed of (subject to
extension pursuant to paragraph 7(b)) 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 or (ii) such shorter period as will terminate when all of the securities
covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement
(but in any event not before the expiration of any longer period required 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 until such time as all of such securities have
been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof set forth in such registration statement;

5

 

     (c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such
registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such
registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such
seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller;

     (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller
(provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph (d),
(ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction);

     (e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the
discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such
registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare and furnish to such
seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

     (f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted;

     (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than
the effective date of such registration statement;

     (h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form)
and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
sold and, if Carlyle Registrable Securities are being sold, Carlyle, or the underwriters, if any,
reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares);

     (i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably
requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such
registration statement;

6

 

     (j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as
reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months
beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date
of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

     (k) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities in the event of the issuance of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities
included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, and use its best efforts
promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

     (l) obtain one or more comfort letters, dated the effective date of such registration
statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of
the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the Company’s independent public
accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort
letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request
and Carlyle, if Carlyle Registrable Securities are also being sold;

     (m) permit any holder of Registrable Securities which holder, in its reasonable judgment,
might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling Person of the Company, to participate in the
preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of
material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and
its counsel should be included; and

     (n) provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such
registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated
the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration
statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the
preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering
such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature.

The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being
effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such
securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

     5. Registration Expenses.

     (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance
with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants,
underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company (all
such expenses being herein called “Registration 

7

 

Expenses”), will be borne as provided in this Agreement, except that the Company will,
in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses
of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual
audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for
listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be
required to pay for any Registration Expenses in connection with a registration proceeding begun
pursuant to paragraph 1(a) if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of
the initiating holders, unless such initiating holders agree to forfeit their right to one Demand
Registration pursuant to paragraph 1(b) (in which case such right shall be forfeited by the holders
initiating such request and all holders exercising their Piggyback Registration rights with respect
to such request); provided, however, that if at or prior to the time of such
withdrawal, such holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or
prospects of the Company not known to such holders at the time of their request for such
registration (it being understood that a change in the Company’s stock price shall not constitute
in and of itself a material adverse change) and withdrawn their request for registration with
reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then such holders shall not
be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to paragraph 1.

     (c) In connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company
will reimburse (i) the holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of (A) one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in such registration and (B) any such other counsel retained for
the purpose of rendering opinions and reviewing documents on behalf of one or more holders of
Registrable Securities on behalf of whom such first counsel does not act and (ii) Carlyle for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Carlyle in the event that Carlyle Registrable
Securities are covered by such registration.

     (d) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Company, each
holder of securities included in any registration hereunder will pay those Registration Expenses
allocable to the registration of such holder’s securities so included, and any Registration
Expenses not so allocable will be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration
in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered for each seller.

     6. Indemnification.

     (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person that controls
such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such director or officer or controlling
Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue

8

 

statement of material fact contained (A) in any registration statement, prospectus or
preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) in any application or
other document or communication (in this paragraph 6 collectively called an “application”)
executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf
of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such
registration statement under the “blue sky” or securities laws thereof, or (ii) any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein under the circumstances which such statements have been made not misleading, and
the Company will reimburse such holder and each such director, officer and controlling Person for
any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or
proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any
such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any
application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished
to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a
copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the
Company has timely furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In
connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their
officers and directors and each Person that controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
holders of Registrable Securities.

     (b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities
is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the
Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or
prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors and officers and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Company or any such director or officer or controlling Person may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
(i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration
statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or
in any application or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent
that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus
or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by
such holder expressly for use therein, and such holder will reimburse the Company and each such
director, officer and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding;
provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and several, to each holder
and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

9

 

     (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to
the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
(provided that the failure to give such prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right
to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the
indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of
interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim,
permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not
be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent
(but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). 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 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 with
respect to such claim.

     (d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer,
director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of
securities. If the indemnification provided for in paragraph 6(a) from the Company is unavailable
to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses referred to herein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative faults of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Company or such indemnified
party, and the Company’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph 6(d) 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 preceding sentences. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution pursuant to this paragraph 6(d).

     7. Participation in Underwritten Registrations.

     (a) No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such
Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements
(including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option
requested by the managing underwriter(s), provided that

10

 

no holder of Registrable Securities will be required to sell more than the number of
Registrable Securities that such holder has requested the Company to include in any registration)
and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any
underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the
Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and
such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification or “holdback”
obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided
in paragraphs 3 and 6 hereof.

     (b) Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt
of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
paragraph 4(e) and 4(k) above, such Person will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the
copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such paragraph 4(e). If the
Company gives any such written notice, the applicable time period mentioned in paragraph 4(b)
during which a registration statement is to remain effective will be extended by the number of days
during the period from and including the date of the giving of such written notice pursuant to this
paragraph to and including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such
registration statement has received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by paragraph 4(e).

     8. Current Public Information. At all times after the Company has filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of
either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, the Company will file in a timely manner
all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the
Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, and will take such further action as any holder or holders of Registrable
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such holders to sell
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or
regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Company covenants that, at its own expense, it will promptly take such action as any
Shareholder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Shareholder to transfer its Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the
Securities Act or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Upon the request of a Shareholder, the Company, at its own expense, will
promptly deliver to such Shareholder (i) a written statement as to whether it has complied with
such requirements (and such Shareholder shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such written
statement), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and (iii) such
other reports and documents as such Shareholder may reasonably request in order to avail itself of
any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission allowing it to transfer its shares
without registration.

     (b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company will not take any
action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities which would materially and
adversely affect the ability of the holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable
Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or which would adversely affect
the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration (including, without
limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares).

     (c) Remedies. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be
an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party hereto
will have the right to injunctive relief, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies at
law or in equity, to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

     (d) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of
this Agreement may be amended or waived only upon the prior written consent of each of the Company,
Carlyle and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided, that if such
amendment or waiver would treat a holder or group of holders of Registrable Securities in a manner
different from any other holders of Registrable Securities (other than as already provided herein),
then such amendment or waiver will require the consent

13

 

of such holder or the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities of such group
adversely treated. The Company will give prompt written notice to the parties hereto of any
amendments, modifications, or waivers of the provisions of this Agreement.

     (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
In addition, and whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this
Agreement that are for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities (or any portion
thereof) as such will be for the benefit of and enforceable by any subsequent holder of any
Registrable Securities (or of such portion thereof), subject to the provisions respecting the
minimum numbers or percentages of shares of Registrable Securities (or of such portion thereof)
required in order to be entitled to certain rights, or take certain actions, contained herein.

     (f) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will
not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other
jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

     (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such
counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

     (h) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

     (i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed according to and governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to conflicts of laws principles.

     (j) Notices. Any notice provided for in this Agreement will be in writing and will be
either (i) personally delivered, (ii) delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, (iii)
sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (charges prepaid), or (iv) faxed with a
copy following by any method described in the foregoing clauses (i) to (iii), to each Shareholder
