Company, (i) each Sponsor Group shall have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this
Agreement to nominate to the Board, three (3) Directors and (ii) the ▇▇▇▇▇ Group shall have the
right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to nominate to the Board two (2)
Directors. In the event that any Investor Group has nominated less than the total number of

Section 2.1(c), then such Investor Group shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such

necessary corporate action to (x) increase the size of the Board as required to enable such
Investor Group to so nominate such additional designees and (y) designate such additional designees

(c) Following such time that the Company ceases to be a Controlled Company, (i) each Sponsor
Group shall have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to nominate to the
Board, three (3) Directors; provided that at such time as a Sponsor Group ceases to have a

shall only have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to nominate to the
Board one (1) Director; provided further that a Sponsor Group shall cease to have the right to

right to nominate any Directors to the Board pursuant to this Agreement at such time as the ▇▇▇▇▇
Group ceases to have a pecuniary interest in at least 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
For so long as any Investor Group has the right to nominate a Director to the Board pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the Board shall not have a number of Independent Directors that is greater
than the minimum number necessary to comply with applicable law, rule, regulation or listing
standards (calculated by assuming that each Investor Group that then has a right to nominate
Director(s) to the Board has exercised such right) unless the Investor Groups then entitled to
nominate one or more Director(s) (acting based
5
on the Requisite Consent of such Investor Groups) have consented to a greater number of
Independent Directors.
(d) In the event that a party hereto ceases to have the right to designate a person to serve
as a Director pursuant to this Section 2.1, such party’s designee to the Board shall resign
immediately or such party shall take all action necessary to remove such designee.
(e) Any Director designated by an Investor Group pursuant to Section 2.1 may be removed (with
or without cause) from time to time and at any time by the applicable Investor Group upon notice to

nominated by the Investor Group who nominated the Director so removed.
(f) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement or
resignation of any Director designated by an Investor Group pursuant to this Section 2.1, the
remaining Directors and the Company shall cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new
designee of the Investor Group who designated such Director as soon as possible, and the Company
hereby agrees to take, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the
same.
(g) The Company agrees to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board the
persons designated pursuant to this Section 2.1 and to use its best efforts to cause the election
of each such designee to the Board, including nominating such individuals to be elected as
Directors as provided herein.
SECTION 2.2. Committees.
(a) Until such time as the Company ceases to be a Controlled Company, (i) each Investor Group
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to designate one member of each committee of the
Board except to the extent that a designee of the Investor Group is not permitted to serve on a
committee under applicable law, rule, regulation or listing standards and (ii) any additional
members of any committee shall be determined by the Board.
(b) Following such time as the Company ceases to be a Controlled Company, the composition of
each committee of the Board shall be determined by the Board, subject to compliance with applicable
law, rule, regulation or listing standards; provided that if the Board shall delegate
substantially all of its responsibility or authority to any committee then each Investor Group
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate one member to such committee of the
Board for so long as such Investor Group as the right to nominate a Director pursuant to Section
2.1.
SECTION 2.3. Consent Rights. For so long as Parent and/or the Investor Groups
beneficially own 35% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, the following actions
shall require the Requisite Consent, in addition to the Board’s approval (or the approval of the
requisite governing body of any subsidiary of the Company):

subsidiaries of the Company which transaction would not adversely impact the rights of any
Investor) or entering into any agreement providing therefor;

SECTION 3.2. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified only by a written instrument executed by the Company, Parent and Investors
representing the Requisite Consent; provided however that any amendment of this
Agreement that would subject any Investor to materially adverse differential treatment relative to
the other Investors shall require the agreement of the differentially treated Investor. No waiver
by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in
writing and executed by the party so waiving. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
SECTION 3.3. Further Assurances. The parties hereto will sign such further
documents, cause such meetings to be held, resolutions passed, exercise their votes and do and
perform and cause to be done such further acts and things necessary, proper or advisable in order
to give full effect to this Agreement and every provision hereof. The Company shall not directly
or indirectly take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to result in,
Parent or any Investor being deprived of the rights contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 3.4. Assignment. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding
on the parties hereto and their respective successors, Permitted Transferees and permitted assigns.
Except in connection with a transfer made to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms
of the LLC Agreement, this Agreement may not be assigned without the express prior written consent
of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment, without such consents, will be null and
void.
SECTION 3.5. Third Parties. This Agreement does not create any rights, claims or
benefits inuring to any person that is not a party hereto nor create or establish any third party
beneficiary hereto. Any rights provided to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Group hereunder may only be exercised by
Frisco Inc. or its successor or permitted assigns.
SECTION 3.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
SECTION 3.7. Jurisdiction. In any judicial proceeding involving any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties
unconditionally accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any United States District
Court located in the State of Delaware, or of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and
the appellate courts to which orders and judgments thereof may be appealed. In any such judicial
proceeding, the parties agree that in addition to any method for the service of process permitted
or required by such courts, to the fullest extent permitted by law, service of process may be made
by delivery provided pursuant to the directions in Section 3.1. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 3.8. Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that
in the event of any breach of this Agreement by any of them, the other parties hereto would be
irreparably harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. Each party
10
accordingly agrees
to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate
and that the parties, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in
equity, shall be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement without the posting of bond.
SECTION 3.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the LLC Agreement,
sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof. Except for the LLC Agreement, there are no agreements, representations, warranties,
covenants or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof other than those
expressly set forth herein and therein. This Agreement, together with the LLC Agreement,
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such
subject matter.
SECTION 3.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application
of such provision to any Person or circumstance or in any jurisdiction, shall be held to be invalid
or unenforceable to any extent, (i) the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby,
and each other provision hereof shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law, (ii) as to such Person or circumstance or in such jurisdiction such provision shall be
reformed to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and (iii) the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances or in other jurisdictions shall not
be affected thereby.
SECTION 3.11. No Waiver. Neither the failure nor delay on the part of any party
hereto to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party
asserted to have granted such waiver.
SECTION 3.12. Table of Contents, Headings and Captions. The table of contents,
headings, subheadings and captions contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of
reference only, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent
of any provision hereof.
SECTION 3.13. Grant of Consent. Any vote, consent or approval of a Sponsor Group
hereunder (including for purposes of determining whether the Requisite Consent has been obtained)
shall be deemed to be given with respect to all members of a Sponsor Group if such vote, consent or
approval is given by members of such Sponsor Group having a pecuniary interest in a majority of the
shares of Common Stock over which all members of such Sponsor Group then have a pecuniary interest.
Any vote, consent or approval of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Group
(including for purposes of determining whether the Requisite Consent has been obtained)
hereunder shall be deemed to be given with respect to all members of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Group if, and only
if, such vote, consent or approval is given by Frisco Inc.
11
SECTION 3.14. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be signed
in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
taken together shall constitute one Agreement (or amendment, as applicable).

Date.
SECTION 3.16. No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any
claims or cause of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the
negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that
are expressly identified as parties hereto and no past, present or future Affiliate, director,
officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or
