The Company and Director desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to which Director will commit to purchase, and the Company will commit to sell, an aggregate of 2,901 shares of the Companys Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the Common Stock). All of such shares of Common Stock, together with any Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued with respect to Director Shares by way of a stock split, dividend or other recapitalization or reclassification, are referred to herein as Director Shares. Certain definitions are set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Director Shares.
(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Director will purchase, and the Company will sell, 2,901 shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.53 per share, the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date hereof. The Company will deliver to Director the certificates representing such Director Shares, and Director will deliver to the Company a cashiers or certified check or wire transfer of funds in the aggregate amount of $13,142.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the purchase by Director of Director Shares pursuant to this Agreement, Director will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

(i) The Director Shares to be acquired by Director pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Directors own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Director Shares will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws;
(ii) Director is an outside director of the Company, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Director Shares;
(iii) Director is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Director Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Director Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available;
(iv) Director has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Director Shares and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as he has requested;
(v) This Agreement and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby to which Director is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Director, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and such other agreements by Director does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Director is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Director is subject;
(vi) Director is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement which conflicts with the obligations set forth in this Agreement; and
(vii) Director is a resident of the State of Georgia.
(d) As an inducement for the Company to commit to issue the Director Shares to Director, and as a condition thereto, Director acknowledges and agrees that neither any future issuance of capital stock of the Company to Director nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Director to remain in the service of the Company, or any Subsidiary, or affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate Directors services at any time for any reason.
2. Vesting of Shares.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) below, the Director Shares purchased hereunder will become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if as of each such date Director is still serving as a director of the Company or is otherwise engaged to perform services on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company:

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, all Director Shares which have not yet become vested shall become vested at the time of such Sale of the Company (such portion being referred to herein as the Accelerated Shares); provided, however, that Director shall not Transfer any interest in any Accelerated Shares unless and until such time as the Investors shall have received cash dividends

or other cash proceeds resulting from any distributions on or dispositions of any Preferred Stock or Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (i) two (2), multiplied by (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors to the Company for all Preferred Stock, Common Stock and other equity interests of the Company purchased by the Investors (but not in any event including amounts committed but not yet contributed to the capital of the Company); and provided, further, that the Accelerated Shares shall at all times be subject to any other restrictions or limitations with respect to the Transfer thereof contained herein or in the Stockholders Agreement or as otherwise provided by law. Director Shares which have become vested hereunder are referred to herein as Vested Shares, and all other Director Shares are referred to herein as Unvested Shares.
3. Repurchase Option.
(a) In the event Director ceases to be a director of the Company or to otherwise be engaged by the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason (a Separation), the Shares and all other Director Shares (whether held by Director or one or more of Directors transferees, other than the Company and the Investors) will be subject to repurchase, in each case by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 (the Repurchase Option).
(b) In the event of a Separation, the Director Shares purchased hereunder shall be subject to repurchase as follows: (i) the purchase price for each Unvested Share of Common Stock will be the Directors Original Cost for such share; and (ii) the purchase price for each Vested Share of Common Stock will be the Fair Market Value for such share.
(c) In the event of a Separation, the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Director Shares by delivering written notice (the Repurchase Notice) to the holder or holders of the Director Shares within 60 days after the Separation. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such securities and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of each type of securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Director Shares held by Director at the time of delivery of the Repurchase Notice. If the number of any or all types of Director Shares then held by Director is less than the total number of such securities which the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining securities elected to be purchased from the other holder(s) of Director Shares under this Agreement, pro rata according to the number of the applicable type of Director Shares held by such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share). The number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Director and the other holders of Director Shares (if any) pro rata according to the number of the applicable type of Director Shares to be purchased from such Person.
(d) The closing of the purchase of the Director Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 2 months nor less than 5 days after the delivery of such notice. The Company will pay for the Director Shares to be purchased by it pursuant to the Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Director to the Company, and will pay the remainder of the purchase price to the extent reasonably permissible
3
under the Companys and its Subsidiaries equity financing agreements and agreements evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money and to the extent the Company has the financial wherewithal at the time to make such payments, by a check or wire transfer of funds and, if not, by a subordinate note or notes, each on terms acceptable to banks and other financial institutions loaning money to the Company and its Subsidiaries, payable in up to three substantially equal, semi-annual installments beginning on the six month anniversary of the closing of such purchase and bearing interest (payable quarterly) at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, in the aggregate amount of the purchase price for such securities. The Company will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers of Director Shares (including representations and warranties regarding good title to the Director Shares, the absence of any liens on such title or other encumbrances with respect to the Transfer of the Director Shares and the ability of such sellers to consummate the sale).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all repurchases of Director Shares by the Company shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law and as may be required by other parties in the Companys and any Subsidiaries equity financing agreements and agreements evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money, if any. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Director Shares hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled or required to make, the Company may make such repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Director delivers the notice of objection described in the definition of Fair Market Value, or if the Fair Market Value of a Share is otherwise determined to be an amount more than 10% greater than the per share repurchase price for such Shares originally determined by the Board, the Company shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Shares elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of the Shares during (i) the thirty-day period beginning on the date the Company receives Directors written notice of objection and (ii) the thirty-day period beginning on the date the Company is given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a Share was finally determined to be an amount more than 10% greater than the per share repurchase price for such Shares originally determined by the Board.
4. Restrictions on Transfer of Director Shares.
(a) Transfer of Director Shares. Director shall not Transfer any interest in any Director Shares, except at such time as the restrictions herein terminate as provided in Section 4(b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions contained in this Section 4 will not apply with respect to (i) Transfers of shares of Director Shares pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or (ii) Transfers of shares of Director Shares among Directors Family Group; provided that in each case such restrictions will continue to be applicable to the Director Shares irrespective of any such Transfer. Any transferee of Director Shares pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) is herein referred to as a Permitted Transferee. In addition to and without limitation on the operation of this Section 4, Director acknowledges that the Stockholders Agreement separately imposes restrictions on the Transfer of the Shares.
4
(b) Termination of Restrictions. With respect to Vested Shares only, any restrictions on the Transfer of Director Shares set forth in this Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) a Qualified Public Offering; or (ii) a Sale of the Company.
5. Registration. Director understands that the Shares are not currently being registered under the Securities Act by reason of their contemplated issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 701 thereof. Director further agrees that he will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares unless such sale or other disposition has been registered or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and has been registered or qualified or is exempt from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws of any state. Director understands that a restrictive legend consistent with the foregoing, and as set forth in Section 6, will be placed on the certificates evidencing the Shares, and related stop transfer instructions will be noted in the stock transfer records of the Company and/or its stock transfer agent for the Shares.
6. Additional Restrictions on Transfer of Director Shares.
(a) Legend. The certificates representing the Director Shares will bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2005, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, CERTAIN REPURCHASE OPTIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 AND IN THE STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN INVESTORS ORIGINALLY DATED AS OF JUNE 13, 2003 AND JOINED BY THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2005. A COPY OF EACH SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANYS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.
(b) Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Director Shares may transfer any Director Shares (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such Transfer.

If at any time such Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value will be the fair value of such Common Stock determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board Calculation). If the Director disagrees with the Board Calculation, the Director may, within 30 days after receipt of the Board Calculation, deliver a notice (an Objection Notice) to the Company setting forth the Directors calculation of Fair Market Value.

The expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Director unless the appraisers valuation is more than 10% greater than the amount determined by the Board, in which case, the costs of the appraiser shall be borne by the Company. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties. If the Repurchase Option is exercised within 45 days after a Separation, then Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date of such Separation; thereafter, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date the Repurchase Option is exercised.
