W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of November 27, 2006, with its stockholders as of that date (the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Principal Investors, pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Original Agreement, amended and restated the Original Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) on May 29, 2007 in connection with the initial Public Offering of the Company’s Common Stock (“IPO”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and Oak Hill, acting pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Amended and Restated Agreement, as amended, desire to amend and restate the Amended and Restated Agreement, as amended, in its entirety as provided herein to set forth the respective rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

1.1 Board of Directors/Committees.

(a) Board Nominees.

(i) Subject to Section 1.5, the Board is to be comprised of up to eight directors (provided that the size of the Board can be increased without Oak Hill’s consent only upon the earlier of (A) January 1, 2015 and (B) Oak Hill owning less than 16% of the Shares of the Company):

(A) three of whom shall be designated by Oak Hill (such persons, the “Oak Hill Nominees”) (subject to reduction pursuant to Section 1.5);

(B) four of whom shall be other Independent Directors who shall be (i) designated by the Board and, (ii) in the case of newly designated directors who join the Board prior to January 1, 2014, approved by Oak Hill which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; and

(b) Classified Board. The certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of the Company shall provide that the directors of the Company, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly equal in number as

possible. At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, the successors of the directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. One Oak Hill Nominee shall be allocated to each class; provided that if the number of Oak Hill Nominees is reduced pursuant to Section 1.5, upon the resignation of an affected Oak Hill Nominee from a class of the Board, the right set forth in Section 1.1(d) to designate successor Oak Hill Nominees to such class shall expire.

(c) Committees. The Board shall have an executive committee, nominating and corporate governance committee, a compensation committee, an audit and risk committee and such other committees as the Board may determine (collectively, the “Committees”). Subject to Section 1.5:

the audit committee shall consist of at least three independent directors;

the executive committee shall consist of one independent director, one management director, and one Oak Hill representative, and

each other committee shall consist of at least two directors and Oak Hill shall have the right to designate one member thereof from among the Oak Hill Nominees and Independent Directors.

Provided that: (i) the membership of each Committee shall meet the requirements of Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), and (ii) each Committee shall have such additional members as the Board may determine, which determination shall be made on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each Committee shall have such powers and responsibilities as the Board may from time to time authorize.

(d) Removal and Replacement of Directors. If a vacancy is created on the Board or a Committee as a result of the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any Oak Hill Nominee, then Oak Hill shall have the right to designate such person’s replacement, subject to the final sentence of Section 1.1(b).

(e) Independence of Oak Hill Nominees. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Oak Hill that the Board has determined that each member of the Board currently designated by Oak Hill is an Independent Director under the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance listing standards as currently in effect after taking into account the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(f) RSC Board. The Company shall cause the board of directors of RSC Equipment Rental, Inc., an Arizona corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to at all times be comprised of the same persons that comprise the Board.

1.2 Director Fees and Expenses.

(a) Fees. The Company shall pay to the directors such fees as may be determined by the Board. No director who is also an employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be paid any fee for serving as a director or member of any Committee. The Oak Hill Nominees will receive the same fees as all other non-employee directors for service on the Board or any Committee beginning in 2012.

(b) Expenses. The Company shall cause each non-employee director serving on the Board, any Committees or any Company Subsidiary board to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by him or her in connection with such service, including reasonable travel, lodging and meal expenses.

1.3 Approvals.

(a) General. Except as required by Applicable Law, all actions requiring the approval of the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the directors present at any duly convened Board meeting or by unanimous written consent of the directors without a meeting, in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the by-laws of the Company.

(b) Quorum/Notice. A quorum for meetings of the Board shall consist of a majority of the total authorized membership of the Board. Meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman of the Board or by any other director at any time; provided that at least 48 hours’ written notice of such meeting has been provided to the directors or notice thereof has been waived by each director.

1.4 Certain Actions/Voting Proxy.

(a) Each Stockholder shall take all Necessary Action to cause the election, removal and replacement of directors and members of Committees in the manner contemplated in, and otherwise give the fullest effect possible to the provisions of this Article I.

(b) [Reserved.]

1.5 Termination of Oak Hill’s Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to Section 6.9, the number of Oak Hill Nominees that can be designated by Oak Hill pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(i)(A) shall be reduced and the number of other Independent Directors shall be increased, based on the percentage of the total Shares of the Company then held by Oak Hill and its Affiliates, as indicated in the following table:


	OH Ownership	OH Board Seats	Unaffiliated Directors	CEO	Total Board Size
Oak Hill reduces their board representation to 2 board seats once their ownership is greater than 15% but less than 25% of the outstanding shares of the Company and a 5th unaffiliated board member is added	15%-25%	2	5	1	8
Oak Hill reduces their board representation to 1 board seats once their ownership is greater than 5% but less than 15% of the outstanding shares of the Company	5%-15%	1	5	1	7

Oak Hill shall cause the appropriate number of Oak Hill Nominees to resign as required to comply with this Section 1.5(a) upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the current term of the resigning Oak Hill Nominee ends (after allowing Oak Hill Nominees to swap classes in connection with such resignation), and (ii) twelve months from the occurrence of such event, and the directors remaining in office shall decrease the size of the Board to eliminate such vacancy unless such vacancy is to be filled by the appointment of a new unaffiliated Director in accordance with the foregoing Table.

1.6 Management Rights Letter.

(a) For so long as Oak Hill remains a stockholder of the Company and there is no Oak Hill Nominee on the Board, then the Company agrees to execute in favor of Oak Hill or one or more of its Affiliates a “management rights letter” in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Oak Hill and the Company to comply with the “venture capital operating company” requirements under ERISA.

ARTICLE II

TRANSFERS/CERTAIN COVENANTS

2.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) [Reserved.]

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stockholder shall Transfer any Equity Securities (whether or not the proposed Transferee is a Permitted Transferee or such Transfer would otherwise be permitted by Section 2.1(a)) (i) to any Competitor (except in a transaction with an underwriter, market maker or broker; provided, however, that this exception shall not apply to a transaction, or series of related transactions, totaling more than 5% of the outstanding Shares if Oak Hill has actual knowledge that the Equity Securities involved in such transaction(s) are being Transferred to a Competitor, it being understood that the Equity Securities sold in an underwritten offering shall not be aggregated, and treated as part of a single transaction or series of related transactions, for purposes of applying this 5% test ) or (ii) if any such Transfer would constitute a Prohibited Transaction, unless, in any such case, such Transfer is approved by the Board. The Company shall provide Oak Hill with any information reasonably requested by it in order for it to determine whether a proposed Transfer would be a Prohibited Transaction.

(c) Any Transferee (including any Permitted Transferee) that after the date of this Agreement acquires Equity Securities, other than in connection with a Public Offering or brokers transactions (within the meaning of Section 4(4) of the Securities Act) pursuant to Rule 144, or a distribution of Equity Securities by Oak Hill to its limited partners on or after January 1, 2014, shall, as a condition precedent to the Transfer of such Equity Securities to such Transferee, (i) become a party to this Agreement by completing and executing a signature page hereto (including the address of such party), (ii) execute all such other agreements or documents as may reasonably be requested by the Company (which may include such representations and warranties made by the Transferee to the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Company), (iii) ensure with the Transferring Stockholders that any merger control or other regulatory authorizations needed in connection with such Transfer are duly obtained, and (iv) deliver such signature page and, if applicable, other agreements and documents to the Company at its address specified in Section 6.12. Such Person shall, upon its satisfaction of such conditions and acquisition of Equity Securities, be a Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Equity Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, except that a transaction with an underwriter, market maker or broker which violates Section 2.1(b) shall not be void, and the Company’s sole remedy for the violation of Section 2.1(b) in connection with a transaction with an underwriter, market maker or broker shall be a claim against Oak Hill.

2.2 [Reserved.]

2.3 [Reserved.]

2.4 Legend.

(a) All certificates representing the Equity Securities held by each Stockholder shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY). NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT AND (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT.”

(b) Upon either (i) the permitted sale of any Equity Securities pursuant to (A) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or (B) another exemption from registration under the Securities Act or upon the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) the request by Oak Hill at any time after 90 days that it ceases to have both an Oak Hill Nominee on the Board and ceases to own at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company, the certificates representing such Equity Securities shall be replaced, at the expense of the Company, with certificates or instruments not bearing the legends required by this Section 2.4; provided that the Company may condition such replacement of certificates under clause (B) upon the receipt of an opinion of securities counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

ARTICLE IV

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

4.1 Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a) If the Company at any time proposes to register any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act, whether or not for sale for its own account (other than (i) in connection with a Demand Registration under Section 4.2 in which all Stockholders have the “piggyback” rights contemplated in Section 4.2(a)(ii), (ii) relating solely to employee benefit plans or (iii) relating solely to the sale of debt or convertible debt instruments) and the registration form to be filed may also be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall promptly notify the Stockholders of its intention to effect such registration. Upon the receipt of a written request of any Stockholder made within 20 days after such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Stockholder), the Company will, subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.1, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion (a “Piggyback Registration”). Each such request shall also contain an undertaking from the applicable Stockholder to provide all such information and material and to take all actions as may be reasonably required by the Company in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

(b) Underwritten Registration. If the registration referred to in Section 4.1(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Stockholders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 4.1(a). In such event, the right of any Stockholder to registration pursuant to this Section 4.1 will be conditioned upon such Stockholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Stockholder will (together with the Company and the other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If any Stockholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Stockholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the other Stockholders.

(c) Piggyback Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final.

(d) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering, the Company will include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (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 Stockholders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such Stockholder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

(e) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of other holders of the Company’s securities other than a registration pursuant to Section 4.2, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (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 and Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after giving written notice to the Stockholders of its intention to register any shares of Common Stock pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.1 and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Stockholder and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register Registrable Securities as part of such terminated registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in connection therewith as provided above). If a registration pursuant to this Section 4.1 involves an underwritten public offering and a Stockholder requests to be included in such registration, such Stockholder may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to participate in such registration.

(g) Each Stockholder agrees not to sell or offer for public sale or distribution, including pursuant to Rule 144, any of such Stockholder’s Common Stock within 15 days prior to or 90 days after the effective date of any registration (except as part of such registration) with respect to which piggyback registration rights are available pursuant to this Section 4.1.

4.2 Demand Registrations.

(a) Request for Registration. At any time and from time to time, Oak Hill (each an “Initiating Holder”) may request in writing on an unlimited number of occasions that the Company effect pursuant to this Section 4.2 the registration (a “Demand Registration”) of all or any part of such Initiating Holders’ Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, which request shall specify the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered, the proposed amounts thereof, and the intended method of disposition by the Initiating Holders. Promptly after its receipt of such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all Stockholders, and thereupon the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of:

(i) the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register, for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such request,

(ii) all other Registrable Securities owned by Stockholders, the holders of which shall have made a written request to the Company for registration thereof (which request shall specify such Registrable Securities and the proposed amounts thereof) within 30 days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company and

(iii) any Registrable Securities which the Company elects to sell for its own account as part of any underwritten offering which the Initiating Holder intends to utilize to dispose of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register.

(b) Limitations on Registrations. The registration rights granted to Initiating Holders pursuant to this Section 4.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(i) the Initiating Holders shall determine the method of distribution of the Securities to be registered in a Demand Registration and if an underwritten offering, shall select the managing underwriter of such offering, except that if the Company elects to sell Registrable Securities for its own account in such underwritten offering, the lead managing underwriter shall be selected by the Initiating Holders subject to the approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, and the co-managing underwriter shall be selected by the Company with the approval of the Initiating Holders, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Stockholder to registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 will be conditioned upon such Stockholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise agreed by the Initiating Holders), and each such Stockholder will (together with the Company and the other Stockholder distributing their Securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. If any Stockholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Stockholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders;

(ii) the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement under this Section 4.2 unless (X) (i) the total number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by the Initiating Holders and all other securities holders who have requested to participate in such offering equals or exceeds 2.5% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis or (ii) the aggregate gross offering price of such offering is at least $75,000,000 or (Y) if the Initiating Holder does not hold at least 5% of the total Shares outstanding at the time such demand is made, and the aggregate gross offering price of such offering is at least $15,000,000; and

(iii) the Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable time not exceeding 180 days at any one time, and not to exceed 360 days in any 720-day period, the filing of any registration statement under this Section 4.2 if, at the time it receives a request for a Demand Registration pursuant thereto, the Board shall determine in good faith that (A) such offering will interfere with a pending financing, merger, sale of assets, recapitalization or other similar corporation action which the Company is actively pursuing and is material to the business of the Company or (B) the contemplated sale of Shares pursuant to such registration statement would have a negative impact on the market for the Common Stock.

(c) Short-Form Registrations. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar

short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations”), and to that end the Company will register (whether or not required by law to do so) the Common Stock under the Exchange Act in accordance with the provisions of that Act following the effective date of the first registration of any securities of the Company on Form S-1 or any comparable or successor form or forms. Oak Hill will be entitled to request at any time and from time to time an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations, provided that the Company will not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(c) more than once in any one year. Promptly after its receipt of any request for a Short-Form Registration, the Company will, if eligible for a Short-Form Registration, give written notice of such request to all other Stockholders, and will use its best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that any Stockholder has requested in writing to be registered by no later than the 15th day after the date of such notice. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Short-Form Registration.

(d) Priority on Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, except that if the Company has elected to sell Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering, the reduction in the amount of Registrable Securities sold in such underwritten offering shall, at the Company’s election (as determined by the Audit and Risk Committee) be allocated between the Company and the Stockholders 75% to the Company and 25% to the Stockholders.

(e) Each Stockholder agrees not to sell or offer for public sale or distribution including, pursuant to Rule 144, any of such Stockholder’s Common Stock within 15 days prior to or 90 days after the effective date of any Demand Registration (except as part of such registration).

(f) The Company agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of any of its equity securities or of any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company (other than such sale or distribution of such securities in connection with any merger or consolidation by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or the acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company of the capital stock or substantially all the assets of any other Person or in connection with an employee stock ownership or other benefit plan) during the 15 days prior to, and during the 90 day period which begins on, the effective date of a registration statement filed in connection with a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration (except as part of any such registration).

4.3 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, the Company will promptly and expeditiously:

(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, make all required filings with the NASD, and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective;

(b) prepare and file with the 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 and to 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, but in no event for a period of more than six months after such registration statement becomes effective, and if requested by the Initiating Holders, include in such prospectus information which the Company is permitted to incorporate by reference from other filings under the securities laws;

(c) at least five business days before filing with the Commission, furnish to counsel (if any) to the selling Stockholders such registration copies of all documents proposed to be filed with the Commission in connection with such registration, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel;

(d) furnish to each seller of Securities such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and other documents filed therewith, except that the Company shall not be obligated to furnish any seller of Securities with more than two copies of such exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus comprised in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities owned by such seller;

(e) use its best efforts to register or qualify all Securities covered by such registration statement under the Securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each seller shall request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(f) in connection with an underwritten offering only, use its best efforts to furnish to each seller copies of:

(i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement, and

(ii) a “comfort” letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement,

each covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountant’s letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;

(g) notify each seller of any Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(h) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

(i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of either (i) not less than six months 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 to 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;

(j) use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies, authorities or self-regulatory bodies as may be necessary or reasonably advisable in light of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof;

(k) notify each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same

has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or to amend or to supplement such prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes;

(l) use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any securities exchange, use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange;

In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company, if requested, will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holder of Registrable Securities.

(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder of Registrable Securities will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each underwriter and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and each such underwriter against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder of Registrable Securities or any such director or officer, any such underwriter 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, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact from a Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any omission or alleged omission of material fact from a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, 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 of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein, and such holder of Registrable Securities will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless will be individual and several to each holder of Registrable Securities and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder of Registrable Securities from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(iii) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (B) 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.

(iv) 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 registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to any indemnification hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(v) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.4(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount any holder of Registrable Securities will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 4.4(b)(v) will be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to such holder of Registrable Securities of the Restricted Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to

contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the holder of Registrable Securities has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of such Restricted Securities).

Following the assignment of the right to designate a Director pursuant to this Section 6.9(x) the aggregate number of Directors that such Principal Investor and such Transferee shall be entitled to designate shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.5, based on the combined ownership of Shares by such Principal Investor and such Transferee and (y) such Transferee shall continue to have the right to designate a single Director unless and until such Transferee ceases to own at least 5% of the outstanding Shares.

6.10 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

6.11 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

6.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as contemplated in Sections 4.4(b) and 6.7, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any Person other than the parties hereto and each such party’s respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

6.13 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered personally, (b) mailed, certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, (c) sent by reputable overnight courier or (d) sent by fax (provided a confirmation copy is sent by one of the other methods set forth above), as follows (or to such other address as the party entitled to notice shall hereafter designate in accordance with the terms hereof):

If to any other Stockholder, to its address set forth on the signature page of such Stockholder to this Agreement with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to any party so indicated thereon. All such notices, requests, demands, waivers and other communications shall be deemed to have been received (w) if by personal delivery, on the day delivered, (x) if by certified or registered mail, on the fifth Business Day after the mailing thereof, (y) if by overnight courier, on the day delivered, or (z) if by fax, on the day delivered.

6.14 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity, illegality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

6.15 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

6.16 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

6.17 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

6.18 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any such suit, action or other proceeding except in such courts). Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth or referred to in Section 6.12 shall be effective service of process for any such suit, action or other proceeding. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or other proceeding in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

6.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party (a) certifies and acknowledges that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (b) acknowledges that it understands and has considered the implications of this waiver and makes this waiver voluntarily, and that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6.18.

6.20 Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. In the event that the Company or one or more Principal Investors shall file suit to enforce the covenants contained in this Agreement (or obtain any other remedy in respect of any breach thereof), the prevailing party in the suit shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

6.21 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement by their authorized representatives as of the date first above written.
