     (f) In respect of any statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any supplements thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by, and relating to, such Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder Information”) specifically for use in connection with the preparation thereof, such Selling Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to each Underwriter that on the Effective Date, the Selling Stockholder Information in the Registration Statement did or will, and at the Applicable Time, the General Disclosure Package did, and when the Prospectus is first filed (if required) in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and Option Closing Date, as applicable, the Selling Stockholder Information in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations; on the Effective Date and at the Applicable Time, the Selling Stockholder Information in the Registration Statement did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; at the Applicable Time, the Selling Stockholder Information in the General Disclosure Package did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact

     2. Purchase and Sale.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Selling Stockholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Selling Stockholders, at a purchase price of $• per share, the amount of the Underwritten Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto.

     (b) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Selling Stockholder named in Schedule II hereto hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to the number of Option Securities listed opposite such Selling Stockholder’s name under the heading “Maximum Number of Option Securities to be Sold” at the same purchase price per share as the Underwriters shall pay for the Underwritten Securities. Said option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Underwritten Securities by the Underwriters. Said option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time on or before the 30th day after the date of the Prospectus upon written or telegraphic notice by the Representatives to such Selling Stockholders setting forth the number of shares of the Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are exercising the option and the Option Closing Date. The maximum number of Option Securities to be sold by the Selling Stockholders is 549,400. In the event that the Underwriters exercise less than their full over-allotment option, the number of Option Securities to be sold by each Selling Stockholder listed on Schedule II shall be, as nearly as practicable, in the same proportion as the maximum number of Option Securities to be sold by each Selling Stockholder and the number of Option Securities to be sold. The number of Option Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the same percentage of the total number of shares of the Option Securities to be purchased by the several Underwriters as such Underwriter is purchasing of the Underwritten

Securities, subject to such adjustments as you in your absolute discretion shall make to eliminate any fractional shares.

     3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities and the Option Securities (if the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof shall have been exercised on or before the third Business Day prior to the Closing Date) shall be made at 10:00 AM, New York City time, on June l, 2007, or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement among the Representatives and the Selling Stockholders or as provided in Section 8(a) hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the respective aggregate purchase prices of the Securities being sold by each of the Selling Stockholders to or upon the order of the Selling Stockholders by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to the accounts specified by the Selling Stockholders. Delivery of the Underwritten Securities and the Option Securities shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

     Each Selling Stockholder will pay all applicable state transfer taxes, if any, involved in the transfer to the several Underwriters of the Securities to be purchased by them from such Selling Stockholder and the respective Underwriters will pay any additional stock transfer taxes involved in further transfers.

     If the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof is exercised after the third Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Selling Stockholders named in Schedule II hereto will deliver the Option Securities (at the expense of the Selling Stockholders) to the Representatives, at 60 Wall Street, 4^th Floor, New York, New York 10015, on the date specified by the Representatives (which shall be within three Business Days after exercise of said option) for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Selling Stockholders named in Schedule II by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to the accounts specified by the Selling Stockholders named in Schedule II hereto. If settlement for the Option Securities occurs after the Closing Date, such Selling Stockholders will deliver to the Representatives on the Option Closing Date, and the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Option Securities shall be conditioned upon receipt of, supplemental opinions, certificates and letters confirming as of such date the opinions, certificates and letters delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

     4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus.

     5. Agreements.

     (a) The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:

     (i) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, if not effective at the time this Agreement is executed, and any amendment thereof, to become effective. Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if the Registration Statement has become or becomes effective pursuant to Rule 430A, or filing of the Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Company will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives (1) when the Registration Statement, if not effective at the time this Agreement is executed, shall have become effective, (2) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission, (3) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (4) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (5) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (6) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

     (ii) The Company will (i) not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing

Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission under Rule 433 under the Act unless the Representatives approve its use in writing prior to first use (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Representatives hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule III hereto, (ii) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iii) comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping and (iv) not take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that such Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

     (iii) To the extent necessary, the Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of the Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433 under the Act prior to the close of business two business days after the date hereof; provided that the Company shall provide the Representatives with copies of any such Final Term Sheet a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not use or file any such document to which the Representatives or counsel to the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

     (iv) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (1) notify the Representatives of any such event, (2) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and (3) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

     (v) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.

     (vi) The Company will make available to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.

     (vii) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

     (viii) (A) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any other shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock; or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 75 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), provided, however, that the Company may issue and sell Common Stock pursuant to any employee

If (1) during the last 17 days of the Restricted Period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Restricted Period, unless otherwise waived by the Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in its sole discretion, then the foregoing restrictions shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

     (B) With respect to any Company stockholder, option holder or warrant holder for whom a Lock-up Agreement (as defined in Section 6(n) hereof) was not delivered pursuant to Section 6(n) hereof and with whom the Company has a substantially similar agreement (as contemplated by Section 6(n) hereof), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., release, amend or waive any term of such agreement during the Restricted Period.

     (ix) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds” and in a manner that would not cause the Company to be required to register as an “investment Company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

     (x) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

     (xi) The Company agrees (it being understood that this Section 5(a)(ix) shall not affect any separate agreement among the Company and the Selling Stockholders as to the payment of such costs and expenses) to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (1) the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement

of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise to the same extent as indemnity is provided by the Company pursuant to Section 8(a) above, but only to the extent any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate to Selling Stockholder Information furnished by such Selling Stockholder (any not any other Selling Stockholder) specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity obligation will be in addition to any liability which any Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.

     (c) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, the Selling Stockholders, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholders within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, Selling Stockholder or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, Selling Stockholder or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that each Underwriter will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following: (i) the names of the Underwriters which appear in the table under the caption “Underwriting”; (ii) the information contained in the first sentence of the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” (for the avoidance of doubt, such paragraph begins with the words “We have been advised by the representatives of the underwriters that...”); and (iii) the paragraphs

concerning short sales, naked short sales, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids under the caption “Underwriting”. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

     (d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 8, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section 8(a), (b) or (c) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 8(d) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 8(a), (b) or (c). In case any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of commencement of the action. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) or (b) and by the Company and the Selling Stockholders in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(c). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff,

the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

     (e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters from the offering of the Securities, and with the proportion required to be contributed by the Company on the one hand and each Selling Stockholder on the other hand to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such Selling Stockholder on the other hand. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations and with the proportion required to be contributed by the Company on the one hand and each Selling Stockholder on the other hand to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such Selling Stockholder on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters

and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter, (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the Underwriters in the offering. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 8(e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Selling Stockholders’ obligations in this Section 8(e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective net proceeds received from the Underwriters in the offering and not joint.

     (f) In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 8 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any other contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served upon it by any other contributing party and consents to the service of such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing party is a party.

     (g) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth

in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Securities and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter, or any person controlling any Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8. The liability of each Selling Stockholder under such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 1 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, but before expenses, of the Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters. The Company acknowledges that nothing herein limits or alters the Company’s obligations to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated October 21, 2003, including, without limitation, the obligations under Section 1.9 of such agreement.

     9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Selling Stockholders or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 8(a), the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the Selling Stockholders and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

     10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by you by notice to the Selling Stockholders (a) at any time prior to the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date (if different from the Closing Date and then only as to Option Securities) if any of the following has occurred: (i) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in or affecting the earnings, business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or declaration of war or national emergency or other national or international calamity or crisis or change in economic or political conditions if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, declaration, emergency, calamity, crisis or change on the financial markets of the United States would, in your judgment, make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) suspension of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market or limitations on prices (other than limitations on hours or numbers of days of trading) for securities on either such Exchange, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects or may materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company, (v) the declaration of a banking moratorium by United States or New York State authorities, (vi) any downgrading, or placement on any watch list for possible downgrading, in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Exchange Act); (vii) the suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock by the Nasdaq Global Market, the Commission, or any other governmental authority or, (viii) the taking of any action by any governmental body or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which in your reasonable opinion has a material adverse effect on the securities markets in the United States.

     11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, of each Selling Stockholder and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

     12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed and confirmed to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 60 Wall Street, 4^th Floor, New York, New York, 10005, with a copy to Deutsche Bank

Form of Lock-Up Agreement

                    , 2007                    

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
CIBC World Markets Corp.
ThinkEquity Partners LLC
As Representatives of the Several Underwriters
c/o Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
60 Wall Street, 4^th Floor
New York, New York 10005

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The undersigned understands that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp. and ThinkEquity Partners LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Taleo Corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering by the Underwriters, including the Representatives, of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Public Offering”).

     To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned on the date hereof in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant and any other security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) relating to the Common Stock (each of the foregoing referred to as a “Disposition”) during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”). The foregoing restriction is expressly intended to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition during the Lock-Up Period even if the securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. “Hedging Transaction” means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any security (other than a broad- 

based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock.

     The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date hereof and continue until, and include, the date that is 75 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “Initial Lock-Up Period”); provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the Initial Lock-Up Period, (A) the Company releases earnings results or (B) material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (2) prior to the expiration of the Initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period following the last day of the Initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of material news or a material event relating to the Company, as the case may be, unless Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. waives, in writing, such extension.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer (a) shares of Common Stock to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, (b) shares of Common Stock acquired in open market transactions by the undersigned after the completion of the Public Offering, (c) shares of Common Stock or other Company securities pursuant to sales in the public market by the undersigned undertaken pursuant to a written trading plan designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that such sales are made pursuant to a written trading plan that shall have been in effect prior to the date hereof and (d) any or all of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock or other Company securities if the transfer is by (i) gift, will or intestacy, or (ii) distribution to partners, members or shareholders of the undersigned or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; provided, however, that in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (d) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the securities subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement.

     The undersigned agrees that the Company may, and that the undersigned will, (i) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the record holder, cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions with respect to such securities on the transfer books and records of the Company and (ii) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial holder but not the record holder, cause the record holder of such securities to cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions with respect to such securities on the transfer books and records of the Company.

     In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to registration of securities pursuant to any agreement, understanding or otherwise setting forth the terms of any security of the Company

held by the undersigned, including any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be party; provided that such waiver shall apply only to the proposed Public Offering, and any other action taken by the Company in connection with the proposed Public Offering.

     The undersigned hereby agrees that, to the extent that the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be a party, this Lock-Up Agreement supersedes such registration rights agreement.

     The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the closing of the Public Offering has not occurred prior to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 business days after the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the registration statement for the Public Offering effective or (ii) June 30, 2007, this agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

(iv) the statements in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the headings “Description of Capital Stock” and “Underwriting” (to the extent of the description of this Agreement), in each case insofar as such statements constitute summaries of legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present, in all material respects, the information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects;

(v) the Registration Statement was declared effective under the Act; any required filing of the Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the

Registration Statement or any part thereof has been issued, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act;

(vi) Each document that, to such counsel’s knowledge, constitutes an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has, to the extent required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433 under the Act, been filed within the time period required by Rule 433(d) under the Act.

(vii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

(viii) the Company is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act;

(ix) no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or, filing with, any governmental agency or body or court on the part of the company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement or the offer, sale or issuance of the Firm Securities and the Option Securities by the Company, except such as have been obtained and made under the Act and the Exchange Act and except any consents, approvals, authorization or order of, or filing with, any state or foreign securities regulatory authority for which such counsel need not offer any opinion;

(x) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Firm Securities and the Option Securities do not and will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under (a) any federal or state law, rule or regulation as currently in effect and customarily applicable in transactions of this nature with respect to the Company; (b) any order known to us of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Company; (c) any agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; or (d) the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company;

(xi) except as disclosed in each of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or otherwise expressly waived in writing, to our knowledge, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

     In addition, we have participated in conferences with certain officers and other representatives of the Company, the Representatives, counsel for the Underwriters and the independent certified public accountants of the Company, at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and

related matters were reviewed and discussed. Although we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, except as referred to in paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv) and (xi) above, no facts have come to our attention, through such review and discussion as described herein, that have caused us to believe that, (i) as of the Effective Date, the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements, schedules and the financial and statistical data derived from such financial statements or schedules and other financial data contained therein, as to which we need express no opinion), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) at the Applicable Time, the General Disclosure Package contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial statements and schedules and the financial and statistical data derived from such financial statements or schedules and other financial data contained therein, as to which we need express no opinion), or (iii) that the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its date and the Closing Date and, if later, the Closing Date for the Option Securities, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial statements and schedules and the financial and statistical data derived from such financial statements or schedules and other financial data contained therein, as to which we need express no opinion). In addition, we confirm that each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements and related schedules and the financial and statistical data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which we expresses no belief) as of their respective effective or issue dates, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California and the State of Delaware or the Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials.
