4. Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Stock to the Company.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Management Stockholder’s service to the Company and its Affiliates terminates as a result of the death or Disability of the Management Stockholder, then the Management Stockholder shall, for 365 days (the “Put Period”) following the date of such termination for such death or Disability, have the right to sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder at a per share price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money or if the repurchase referred to in Section 4(a) (or Section 5 below, as the case may be) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company under any such agreement or if a repurchase would reasonably be expected to be prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) or any federal or state securities laws or regulations (or if the Company reincorporates in another state, the business corporation law of such state) (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Stock from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities to the extent it would cause any such default or would be so prohibited by the Event for cash but instead, with respect to such portion with respect to which cash settlement is prohibited, may satisfy its obligations with respect to the Management Stockholder Entities’ exercise of their rights under Section 4(a) by delivering to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity a note with a principal amount equal to the amount

payable under this Section 4 that was not paid in cash, having terms acceptable to the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) lenders and permitted under the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) debt instruments but which in any event (i) shall be mandatorily repayable promptly and to the extent that an Event no longer prohibits the payment of cash to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the effective rate of interest in respect of PRA Holdings, Inc.’s senior notes.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the date that the transfer restrictions pursuant to Sections 3(a) or 3(b), as applicable, terminate (such date, the “Lapse Date”), except that any payment obligation of the Company that has arisen prior to the expiration of this Section 4 shall remain in full force and effect until satisfied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 4.

5. The Company’s Option to Purchase Stock and Options of the Management Stockholder Upon Certain Events.

(A) With respect to Stock, the Company may purchase (or cause one or more of its Affiliates to purchase) all or any portion of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to the lesser of (I) the applicable price per share paid by such Management Stockholder Entities for such Stock and (II) the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date; and

(B) All outstanding and unexercised Options (whether or not vested) shall automatically be terminated without any payment in respect thereof.

(b) Termination without Cause by the Company, Termination by the Management Stockholder with or without Good Reason, and Termination due to death or Disability. If the

(A) With respect to Stock, the Company may purchase (or cause one or more of its Affiliates to purchase) all or any portion of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date;

(B) With respect to any outstanding and vested Options, the Company may purchase (or cause one or more of its Affiliates to purchase) all or any portion of such exercisable vested Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date of a share of Option Stock underlying such Options over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which vested Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 5(b)(B) and with respect to an Option the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, such Option shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof; and

(C) With respect to unvested Options, all outstanding unvested Options shall automatically be terminated without any payment in respect thereof.

(c) Call Notice. The Company shall have a period (the “Call Period”) of 13 months from the date of any Call Event (or, if later, with respect to a Section 5(a) Call Event specified in Section 5(a)(a), the date after discovery of, and the applicable cure period for, an impermissible transfer constituting such Call Event) in which to give notice in writing to the Management Stockholder of its election to exercise its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 5 (“Repurchase Notice”). The completion of the purchases pursuant to the foregoing shall take place at the principal office of the Company no later than 45 Business Days (or such longer period as may be required to comply with applicable law) after the giving of the Repurchase Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price (including any payment with respect to the Options as described in this Section 5) shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents canceling the Options so terminated, appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized representative.

(d) Use of Note to Satisfy Call Payment; Termination of Call Right. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing any Event, the Company will, to the extent it has exercised its rights to purchase

Stock pursuant to this Section 5, in order to complete the purchase of any Stock pursuant to this Section 5, deliver to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (i) a cash payment for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5 that would not cause an Event and (ii) a note having the same terms as those provided in Section 4(c) above with a principal amount equal to the amount payable, but not paid in cash, pursuant to this Section 5 due to the Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for 13 months from the date of the Call Event, the proposed repurchase of that portion of the Stock to be repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 5 with the note described in the foregoing sentence shall immediately and automatically terminate and the Company shall have no further rights or obligations under this Section 5.

(e) Expiration of this Section 5. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 5 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the Lapse Date, except that any payment obligation of the Company that has arisen prior to the expiration of this Section 5 shall remain in full force and effect until satisfied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 5.

(f) Limited Applicability of Sections 4 and 5 to Canadian Management Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Sections 4 or 5 above, in no event shall the Company have the ability to purchase vested Options as provided above; instead, the vested Options shall expire by their terms pursuant to any applicable Stock Option Agreement, unless (for the avoidance of doubt) the Management Stockholder Entities elect to exercise any exercisable Options prior to their expiration date(s), at which time any Option Stock acquired upon such exercise shall remain subject to the Company’s purchase pursuant to Sections 4 and 5, except for purposes of Section 5(a), the “applicable price per share paid by such Management Stockholder Entities for such Stock” shall be deemed to refer to the Management Stockholder’s “adjusted cost base” of such Stock, as such amount is calculated pursuant to the rules promulgated by the Canada Revenue Agency from time to time.

6. Adjustment of Repurchase Price; Definitions.

In determining the applicable repurchase price of the Stock and Options, as provided for in Sections 4 and 5, above, appropriate adjustments shall be made for any stock dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations, or any other adjustment in the number of outstanding shares of Stock in order to maintain, as nearly as practicable, the intended operation of the provisions of Sections 4 and 5.

(b) If the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, to the extent required from time to time to enable the Management Stockholder to sell shares of Stock, subject to compliance with the provisions hereof without registration under the Exchange Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (B) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7(a), the Company may de-register under Section 12 of the Exchange Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in such circumstances, shall not be required hereby to file any reports which may be necessary in order for Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation under the Act to be available. Nothing in this Section 7(a) shall be deemed to limit in any manner the restrictions on transfers of Stock contained in this Agreement.

8. “Piggyback” Registration Rights. Effective after the occurrence of the Initial Public Offering:

(a) The Parties agree to be bound by all of the terms, conditions, and obligations of the Registration Rights Agreement as they relate to the exercise of piggyback registration rights set forth in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11 (but not Section 11(l)) of the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by and among the Company and the investors party thereto (such Registration Rights Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreement” and such piggyback registration rights, the “Piggyback Rights”), as in effect on the date hereof (subject, with respect to any such Management Stockholder provided Piggyback Rights, only to any amendments

thereto to which such Management Stockholder has agreed in writing to be bound) and, if any of the investors named therein or their transferees (each, an “Investor”) or Parent are selling Common Stock, the Management Stockholder shall have all of the rights and privileges of the Piggyback Rights (including, without limitation, the right to participate in the Initial Public Offering and any rights to indemnification and/or contribution from the Company and/or Parent or the Investors, as applicable), in each case as if the Management Stockholder were an original party to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to applicable and customary underwriter restrictions; provided that at no time shall the Management Stockholder have any rights to request registration under Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, further that, other than with respect to members of the Senior Management Group, in lieu of the Piggyback Rights in connection with any Public Offering in which such rights would otherwise be available, the Board, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive the restrictions on transfer contained in Section 3(a) with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to such Piggyback Rights in connection with such Public Offering (a “Transfer Restriction Waiver”). All Stock purchased or otherwise held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement. Effective after the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering, if any of the Investors are selling stock in a circumstance in which the Management Stockholder would not have Piggyback Rights (other than in connection with a Transfer Restriction Waiver), the restrictions on transfer contained in Section 3(a) shall be waived with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to such Piggyback Rights if such sale by the Investors had resulted in the Management Stockholder having Piggyback Rights.

(b) In the event of a sale of Common Stock by Parent or any of the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the Board shall have determined to effect a Transfer Restriction Waiver in which case the provisions of Section 8(h) shall apply, the Company will promptly notify the Management Stockholder in writing (a “Piggyback Notice”) of any proposed registration (a “Proposed Registration”), which Piggyback Notice shall include: the principal terms and conditions of the proposed registration, including (i) the number of the shares of Common Stock to be sold, (ii) the fraction expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities by the total number of shares held by the holders of Registrable Securities selling the shares of Common Stock, (iii) the proposed per share purchase price (or an estimate thereof), and (iv) the proposed date of sale. If within 15 days of the receipt by the Management Stockholder of such Piggyback Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Management Stockholder a written request (a “Request”) to register shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder, if any, and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered as provided in this Section 8; provided, however, that for each such registration statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, may be submitted for all Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities.

(c) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lower of (i) the number of shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities

are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock being sold by holders of Registrable Securities and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by all holders of Registrable Securities and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock which the Company can register in connection with such Request in the Proposed Registration without adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced pro rata as more fully described in Section 8(d) below).

(d) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in the Proposed Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Stock offered in such Public Offering as contemplated by the Company, then, unless the managing underwriter advises that marketing factors require a different allocation, the Company will include in the Proposed Registration (i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of shares of Stock which the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders and any other Persons who are entitled to piggyback or incidental registration rights in respect of Stock (together, the “Holders”) have requested to be included in the Proposed Registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Stock then held by each such Holder (including upon exercise of all exercisable Options) (provided that any shares thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner).

(e) Upon delivering a Request a Management Stockholder having Piggyback Rights pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 8 will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 8 (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (to the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

(f) The Management Stockholder agrees that he or she will execute such other reasonable customary agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 8, including reasonable and customary lock-up agreements.

(g) Notwithstanding Section 11(l) of the Registration Rights Agreement, this Section 8 will terminate on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control and (ii) with

respect to each Management Stockholder, on the date on which such Management Stockholder ceases to own any Registrable Securities.

(h) If the Board shall have elected to effect the Transfer Restriction Waiver in lieu of Piggyback Rights in accordance with Section 8(a), the Company will notify the Management Stockholder on or promptly following the completion of the Public Offering giving rise to the Transfer Restriction Waiver, which notice shall include: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock sold by Parent and the Investors in such Public Offering and (ii) the number of shares of Stock to which the waiver of transfer restrictions shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement will apply to such shares of Stock notwithstanding the Transfer Restriction Waiver.

9. Rights to Negotiate Repurchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from purchasing, redeeming, or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as may be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Parties, whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption, or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management Stockholder the right to sell, shares of Stock or any Options under the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption, or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption, or acquisition shall be entered into, without the prior approval of the Board.

10. Covenant Regarding 83(b) Election. Except as the Company may otherwise agree in writing, the Management Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that the Management Stockholder will make an election provided pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-2 with respect to any Purchased Stock acquired under this Agreement and any Option Stock acquired on exercise of Options; and the Management Stockholder further covenants and agrees that he or she will furnish the Company with copies of the forms of election the Management Stockholder files within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, and within thirty (30) days after each exercise of the Management Stockholder’s Options and with evidence that each such election has been filed in a timely manner.

11. Notice of Change of Beneficiary. Immediately prior to any transfer of Stock to a Management Stockholder’s Trust, the Management Stockholder shall provide the Company with a copy of the instruments creating the Management Stockholder’s Trust and with the identity of the beneficiaries of the Management Stockholder’s Trust. The Management Stockholder shall notify the Company as soon as practicable prior to any change in the identity of any beneficiary of the Management Stockholder’s Trust.

12. Recapitalizations, etc.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Stock or the Options, to any and all shares of capital stock of the Company or any capital stock, partnership units, or any other security evidencing ownership interests in any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or substitution of the Stock or the

Options by reason of any stock dividend, split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation, or otherwise. In the event of any of the foregoing occurrences or a conversion or exchange pursuant to Section 12(b), all references in this Agreement, the Sale Participation Agreement, the Option Plan, and any Stock Option Agreement to shares of Common Stock (including Purchased Stock and Option Stock), Option Exercise Prices, any other per share purchase price of Common Stock, and any similar terms contained herein or therein shall refer to such shares and prices as the same may be adjusted, exchanged, or converted in connection with any of the foregoing.

(b) Prior to and in connection with an Initial Public Offering, the Company may effect, and may require the Management Stockholder to require the Management Stockholder Entities to participate in, any recapitalization or restructuring transaction or transactions in connection with which the Common Stock is converted or exchanged, pro rata, into or for new equity securities, the terms and conditions of which (i) shall preserve the limited liability of the Management Stockholder Entities with respect to such new equity securities and (ii) shall substantially preserve in all material respects the economic interest, priority, and other rights and privileges of the Management Stockholder Entities with respect to such new equity securities.

13. Management Stockholder’s Employment by the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement entered into by the Company and the Management Stockholder contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement (subject to, and except as set forth in, the applicable provisions of any employment agreement entered into by and between the Management Stockholder and the Company or any of its subsidiaries) (i) obligates the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to employ the Management Stockholder in any capacity whatsoever or (ii) prohibits or restricts the Company (or any such subsidiary) from terminating the employment of the Management Stockholder at any time or for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, and the Management Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any other Person has made any representations or promises whatsoever to the Management Stockholder concerning the Management Stockholder’s employment or continued employment by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

14. Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. In the case of a transferee permitted under Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) (other than clauses (a), (a), or (a) thereof) hereof, such transferee shall be deemed the Management Stockholder hereunder; provided, however, that no transferee (including without limitation, transferees referred to in Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) hereof) shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such transferee has delivered to the Company a valid undertaking and becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder or with respect hereto.

15. Amendment.

23. Confidential Information; Covenant Not to Compete; Covenant Not to Solicit.

(a) The Management Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that in further consideration of the Company entering into the Stock Option Agreement and this Agreement with the Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees effective as of the date of the Management Stockholder’s commencement of employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, to the following:

(i) During the time the Management Stockholder is employed with the Company or any of its Affiliates (the “Employment Period”) and thereafter during the Non-competition Period (as defined below), the Management Stockholder may not, within (A) the country in which the Management Stockholder’s office with the Company or any of its Affiliates (the “Company Group”) was located at the date the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company Group terminates (the “Termination Date”), or (B) fifty (50) miles of the location of the Management Stockholder’s office with the Company Group at the Termination Date, be engaged or employed by a Competing CRO, whether as owner, manager, officer, director, employee, consultant or otherwise to perform duties and responsibilities that are the same or substantially related to the duties and responsibilities that the Management Stockholder performed for the Company Group at any time during the twenty-four (24) months prior to the Termination Date. Ownership by the Management Stockholder of not more than one percent (1.0%) of the shares of any corporation having a class of equity securities actively traded on a national securities exchange shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to violate the prohibitions set forth in this Section 23(a)(i).

(ii) For the purposes of this Agreement: (A) the term “Non-competition Period” means: if the Management Stockholder is a party to an Employment Agreement, “Non-competition Period” as such term is defined in such agreement; but if the Management Stockholder is not a party to any such Employment Agreement, means the period of six (6) months after the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company Group ceases for whatever reason; and (B) the term “Competing CRO” means any entity (and its respective affiliates and successors) that competes with any member of the Company Group in the provision of Customer Services. “Customer Services” means any product or service provided by any member of the Company Group to a third party for remuneration, including, but not limited to on a contract or outsourced basis, assisting pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies in developing and taking drug compounds, biologics, and drug delivery devices through appropriate regulatory approval processes, and/or recruiting, staffing and placement of personnel in the areas of clinical research, medical writing, biostatistics and programming, in each case (i) during the Employment Period or (ii) about which the Management Stockholder has material knowledge and that the Management Stockholder had knowledge that any member of the Company Group will provide or has contracted to provide to third parties during the twelve (12) months following the Employment Period.

(iii) The Management Stockholder may not, during the Employment Period and the Non-competition Period, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, manager, officer, director, employee, consultant or otherwise, solicit the business of, or accept business from any Customer of any member of the Company Group at the Termination Date, unless the business being solicited or accepted is not in competition with or substantially similar to any member of the Company Group’s business. For the purposes of this Section 23(a)(iii), “Customer” means any person or legal entity (and its subsidiaries, agents, employees and representatives) about whom the Management Stockholder has acquired material information based on employment with the Company Group and as to whom the Management Stockholder has been informed that the Company Group provides or will provide services.

(iv) The Management Stockholder may not, during the Employment Period and the Non-competition Period, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce (or attempt to solicit or induce) to leave the employ of any member of the Company Group for any reason whatsoever any person employed by any member of the Company Group at the time of the act of solicitation or inducement.

(v) The Management Stockholder may not at any time (whether during or after the Employment Period) make public, disclose, divulge, furnish, release, transfer, sell or otherwise make available to any person any Confidential Information, or otherwise use or disclose it or allow it to be used or disclosed for any purpose, other than as may be permitted under the Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Stockholder may disclose Confidential Information without violating the Employment Agreement if (i) disclosure is required to comply with a valid court order or any administrative law order or decree; (ii) the Management Stockholder gives the Company advance written notice of the required disclosure so that the Company may, if it wishes, seek an appropriate protective order; and (iii) the Management Stockholder requests that any disclosed information be afforded confidential treatment to the greatest extent possible.

(b) The Management Stockholder specifically acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 23 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company Group and that the Management Stockholder desires to agree to the provisions of this Section 23. In the event that any of the provisions of this Section 23 should ever be held to exceed the time, scope or geographic limitations permitted by applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such provision be reformed to reflect the maximum time, scope and geographic limitations that are permitted by law.

(c) The Management Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that, owing to the special, unique and extraordinary nature of the matters covered by this Section 23, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Management Stockholder of any of the provisions hereof, the Company Group would suffer substantial and irreparable injury, which could not be fully compensated by monetary award alone, and the Company Group would not have adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the Management Stockholder agrees that, in such event, the Company Group will be entitled to temporary and/or permanent injunctive relief against the Management Stockholder, without the necessity of proving actual damages or of posting bond to enforce any

of the provisions of this Section 23, and the Management Stockholder hereby waives the defenses, claims, or arguments that the matters are not special, unique, and extraordinary, that the Company must prove actual damages, and that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. In addition, the Management Stockholder shall pay to the Company and the Company shall be awarded the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the Company as a result of the Management Stockholder’s breach of the Management Stockholder’s obligations in this Section 23.

(d) The rights and remedies described in this Section 23 are cumulative and are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies otherwise available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, including but not limited to monetary damages.

(e) The Management Stockholder agrees to inform the Company of the name and address of any employer(s), as well as the Management Stockholder’s job title and duties with each employer that the Management Stockholder may have or any business with which the Management Stockholder may be involved, directly or indirectly, within the Non-competition Period. The Company shall have the right to disclose this Agreement or its contents to any of the Management Stockholder’s future employers for the purpose of providing notice of the post-employment restrictions contained herein. The Company will provide the Management Stockholder with written notice if and when the Company discloses the existence of this Agreement to any future employer.

(f) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event that the Management Stockholder has not executed this Agreement due to the fact that the Management Stockholder has only received a grant of Options under a Stock Option Agreement and has not otherwise purchased Stock (whether through the exercise of an Option or otherwise), the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company may not be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other damages as a result of the Management Stockholder breaching any of the provisions of Section 23(a), but in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Company, all Options granted to the Management Stockholder are subject to the Company’s right to treat any shares of Stock and Options held by the Management Stockholder in the same manner as if the Management Stockholder’s employment had been terminated for Cause by the Company, and the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company any amounts actually paid to him or her by the Company in respect of any repurchase by the Company of any Options or Option Stock held by such Management Stockholder; provided that with respect to Options, the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company only such amounts on a net after-tax basis. The Management Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that upon acquiring any shares of Stock, the Management Stockholder shall have agreed, and hereby agrees, to be subject to and bound by all of the covenants contained in this Section 23.
