Section 2Board of Directors.
(a)Nomination of Directors.

(iii)If GBL beneficially owns less than 50% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial GBL Holder at the Closing, GBL shall have no right to
6


nominate for election to the Board any directors, and any GBL Directors providing services as of the time the beneficial ownership of GBL drops below 50% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial GBL Holder at the Closing shall automatically be deemed to have offered his or her resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board with no further action required on the part of GBL, the Board or the Corporation, provided, however, the Board may, in its sole discretion, reject such resignation and invite any GBL Director(s) to continue to act in his or her capacity.
(iv)For so long as GBL is entitled to nominate a director pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(ii), the GBL Director shall have the right to be a member of the Executive Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Compensation Committee, subject to applicable law (including applicable committee independence standards of Nasdaq or other applicable stock exchange on which the Corporation is listed).
(v)For so long as Olivier Duha is serving as a GBL Director, he shall have the right to be a member of the Executive Committee.
For the avoidance of doubt, so long as the restrictions set forth in Section 4 apply, GBL shall not be entitled to nominate any directors other than those set forth above. The initial GBL Directors and any replacement GBL Directors shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that the Corporation agrees that (x) Olivier Duha and Nicolas Gheysens are acceptable individuals to serve as the GBL Directors and (y) any executive of GBL with a title of Investment Partner or more senior title shall be an acceptable individual to serve as a GBL Director; and provided further that the Corporation shall have the right to meet with such executive of GBL prior to his or her appointment to the Board and if the Corporation provides a written notice to GBL that, in its reasonable discretion, such executive is not legally qualified to serve on the board of directors of a Delaware corporation listed on Nasdaq or other applicable stock exchange on which the Corporation is listed or not qualified under the Corporation’s governance documents (which governance documents shall apply equally to all members of the Board and shall not be amended, modified or repealed in a manner that is intended to or does disproportionately adversely affect the rights of any GBL Director) to serve on the Board, then such executive shall not be deemed acceptable.
(b)Election of Directors. At the Closing, the Corporation shall take all necessary action to cause the initial GBL Directors to be appointed to the Board and the applicable committees as contemplated by Section 2(a), including by increasing the size of the Board and applicable committees, as necessary. From and after the Closing, for so long as is applicable, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all nominees timely nominated pursuant to Section 2(a) to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to the Corporation’s stockholders for election as directors at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation (and/or in connection with any election by written consent or at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation), and the Corporation shall take all necessary action within its control to cause the election of each such nominee, including by: including such nominees in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to the Corporation’s shareholders for election as directors, soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such nominees and using substantially the same level of efforts and providing substantially the same level of support as is used and/or provided for the other director nominees of the Corporation with respect to the applicable annual meeting of stockholders or action by written consent in lieu of such meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, failure of the stockholders of the Corporation to elect any GBL Director to the Board shall not affect the right of the Major Webhelp Stockholders or GBL to nominate directors for election pursuant to Section 2(a) in any future election of directors. Each of GBL and Olivier Duha, individually and not jointly, agrees
7


with the Corporation (and only with the Corporation), that for so long as GBL has the right to nominate a GBL Director and Olivier Duha has the right to serve as a GBL Director, such stockholder shall vote or cause to be voted, whether at a meeting of stockholders or by written consent, all of their respective shares of Common Stock in favor of the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to the Corporation’s stockholders; provided, however that GBL and Olivier Duha shall only be obligated to comply with this last sentence of Section 2(b) if the Corporation has complied with its obligations under this Agreement, including under this Section 2.
(c)Replacement of Directors. In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disqualification, resignation, removal or failure to be elected by the Corporation stockholders of a GBL Director nominated pursuant to Section 2(a), or designated pursuant to this Section 2(c), to the extent the rights under Section 2(a) remain in effect, GBL shall have the right to designate a replacement to fill any GBL Director vacancy, in each case consistent with the provisions of Section 2(a), and the Board shall take all necessary actions to cause such replacement designee appointed by GBL to be promptly appointed to the Board to fill such vacancy, subject to applicable law.
(d)Removal of Directors. Upon the written request of GBL seeking to remove and/or replace any GBL Director nominated pursuant to Section 2(a), or designated pursuant to Section 2(c), the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such request, including to promptly call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call more than one special meeting with respect to the removal of GBL Directors in any twenty-four month period. In the event that GBL and Olivier Duha collectively beneficially own less than 70% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial GBL Holder and Olivier Duha at the Closing, GBL shall have the sole discretion to designate the GBL Director who shall resign, and such resignation shall be deemed to be offered to the Board effective automatically with no further action required on the part of GBL, the Board, or the Corporation and GBL shall make such designation within thirty (30) days of GBL and Olivier Duha dropping below such threshold, provided, however, the Board may, in its sole discretion, reject such resignation and invite either or both GBL Director(s) to continue to act in his or her capacity.
(e)Laws and Regulations. Nothing in this Section 2 shall be deemed to require that any party hereto, or any director of the Corporation, act in violation of any applicable provision of law, regulation, legal duty or requirement or stock exchange rule.
(f)Rights and Privileges. Each GBL Director shall be entitled to the same rights, privileges and compensation applicable to all other members of the Board generally or to which all such members of the Board are entitled. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify, exculpate and reimburse fees and expenses of each GBL Director (including by entering into an indemnification agreement in form substantially similar to the Corporation’s form of director indemnification agreement (if any)) and provide each GBL Director with director and officer insurance to the same extent it indemnifies, exculpates, reimburses and provides insurance for the other members of the Board pursuant to the Corporation’s organizational documents or otherwise.

The parties acknowledge and agree that any Specified Transferee of a Major Webhelp Stockholder shall be a third party beneficiary hereunder and shall have the same rights under this Agreement as the applicable Major Webhelp Stockholder and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 6 with respect to the Lock-Up Shares (in the same form such restrictions applied to the
12


transferor prior to transfer) upon and after acquiring such Lock-Up Shares; provided such transferees have agreed in a writing reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to be bound by this Agreement.
(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from the Initial Lock-up Release Date through the six-month anniversary of the Final Lock-up Release Date, GBL agrees with the Corporation (and only with the Corporation) that it shall not Transfer Lock-up Shares held by it, in an amount of more than 2% of the then outstanding total shares of Common Stock during any rolling 3-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the restrictions imposed by the prior sentence of this Section 6(e) shall not apply to Transfers pursuant to (i) a Demand Registration in an Underwritten Public Offering or a Shelf Block Trade, in each case, on the terms described in Exhibit A hereto or (ii) a Block Trade.
Section 7 Corporate Opportunities. In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, officers, employees, members, partners and/or other representatives of GBL, or of investment funds or vehicles affiliated with GBL or any of its respective Affiliates may be a GBL Director and, accordingly, serve as a director of the Board, and (ii) GBL and certain of its Affiliates may now engage, may continue to engage, and/or may, in the future, decide to engage, in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, now engage or may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with, are complementary to or compete with those in which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, now engage or may engage, the provisions of this Section 7 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve GBL or its Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate (or analogous) business opportunity for GBL, any of its Affiliates or the GBL Director (each an “Identified Person”). In the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other corporate (or analogous) or business opportunity (other than, with respect to any GBL Director, any such opportunity which the Identified Person learned of solely as a result of his or her role as a director of the Board) which may be a corporate (or analogous) or business opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall have no duty to communicate, offer or otherwise make available such transaction or other corporate (or analogous) or business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any purported fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate (or analogous) or business opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate (or analogous) or business opportunity to another Person (including any Affiliate of such Identified Person). The Corporation, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, (i) acknowledges that the Identified Persons may now own, may continue to own, and from time to time may acquire and own, investments in one or more other entities (each such entity, a “Related Company”) that are direct competitors of, or that otherwise may have interests that do or could conflict with those of, the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) agree that (A) the enjoyment, exercise and enforcement of the rights, interests, privileges, powers and benefits granted or available to the Identified Persons under this Agreement shall not be in any manner reduced, diminished, affected or impaired, and the obligations of the Identified Persons under this Agreement (if any) shall not be in any manner augmented or increased, by reason of any act, circumstance, occurrence or event arising from or in any respect relating to (x) the ownership by an Identified Person of any interest in any Related Company, (y) the affiliation of any Related Company with an Identified Person or (z) any action
13


taken or omitted by any Related Company or an Identified Person in respect of any Related Company, (B) none of the duties imposed on an Identified Person, whether by contract or law, do or shall limit or impair the right of any Identified Person lawfully to compete with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates as if the Identified Persons were not a party to this Agreement, and (C) the Identified Persons are not and shall not be obligated to disclose to the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries, any of the Corporation’s stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates any information related to their respective businesses or opportunities, including acquisition opportunities, or to refrain from or in any respect to be restricted in competing against the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries, any of the Corporation’s stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates in any such business or as to any such opportunities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances shall (i) an employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries be deemed to be an Identified Person, and (ii) the Corporation be deemed to have waived or renounced any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered any opportunity to participate in, any corporate, business, or investment opportunity that is presented to an employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, irrespective of whether such employee (a) is a director or officer of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or (b) otherwise would be an Identified Person absent being an employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. Prior to Closing, GBL shall execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, which shall include a prohibition on sharing the Corporation's non-public information with any third parties (including competitors). For the avoidance of doubt, the GBL Directors shall not be deemed to be employees of the Corporation solely as a result of their position on the Board of the Corporation.
Section 8Rule 144.
The Corporation covenants that so long as the Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b), Section 12(g) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, it will use reasonable best efforts to file in a timely manner any and all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act (or, if the Corporation is not required to file such reports, it will use reasonable best efforts to make publicly available such necessary information to comply with, and permit sales pursuant to, Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act), at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Major Webhelp Stockholders to sell shares of Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.
Section 9Corporation Obligations Regarding Transfers.
The Corporation shall instruct the transfer agent to remove any legend, notation or similar designation restricting transferability of the Common Stock from the certificates or book-entries evidencing the Common Stock if such Common Stock (i) is sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) is sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) is not held by an Affiliate and is eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the requirement that the Corporation has complied with the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act. Any fees of the Corporation, the transfer agent and Corporation’s counsel associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by the Corporation’s transfer agent or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Corporation.
14

Section 11Duration of Agreement.

Any Major Webhelp Stockholder who disposes of all of its Common Stock shall automatically cease to be a party to this Agreement and have no further rights or obligations hereunder as a Major Webhelp Stockholder.
Section 12Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
Section 13Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles.
(b)Each party agrees that it will bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and, solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding will be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 17.
Section 14WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AT THE TIME OF INSTITUTION OF THE APPLICABLE LITIGATION, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
15


REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14.

Section 16Benefits of Agreement.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and its successors and assigns and each Major Webhelp Stockholder and its permitted assigns, legal representatives, heirs and beneficiaries.

Section 18Modification; Waiver.
This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by (a) the Corporation and (b) the Major Webhelp Stockholders. No course of dealing between the Corporation or its Subsidiaries and the Major Webhelp Stockholders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Section 19Entire Agreement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and, except for the Share Purchase Agreement, supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith, from and after the date of this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided herein, any consent required by any Person under this Agreement may be withheld by such Person in such Person’s sole discretion.
Section 20Counterparts.

This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and
18


delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
Section 22Director and Officer Actions. No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any stockholder of the Corporation as a result of any acts or omissions taken under this Agreement in good faith.
Section 23Several and not Joint. The rights, obligations, and agreements of the Major Webhelp Stockholders under this Agreement shall be several and not joint.
Section 24Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing and prior thereto shall be of no force or effect. If the Put Option Agreement or the Share Purchase Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with their terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no force or effect.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, at any time and from time to time after the Final Lock-up Release Date, each of (i) GBL and (ii) the other Major Webhelp Stockholders may make a written request (such request, a “Demand Registration Request” and the Major Webhelp Stockholder(s) submitting such request, the “Demanding Holder(s)”) to the Corporation for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement, or, if the Corporation is not then eligible to file on Form S-3, on Form S-1 or any other appropriate form under the Securities Act, including by means of an Underwritten Public Offering. If the Corporation is a WKSI at the time any such Demand Registration Request is submitted to the Corporation or will become one by the time of the filing of such Registration Statement, the Demand Registration Request may specify that such Registration Statement be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. Any Demand Registration Request must be for (i) Registrable Securities with an aggregate total offering price reasonably expected to be at least $100 million in the aggregate or (ii) such number of Registrable Securities representing all of such Demanding Holder’s Registrable Securities, and the Major Webhelp Stockholders may make only two Demand Registration Requests in any rolling twelve-month period. Any such Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration Request shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Demand Registration”. The Corporation shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any Demand Registration if a Piggyback Registration or an Underwritten Public Offering was consummated within the preceding ninety (90) calendar days (unless otherwise consented to by the Corporation). All Demand Registration Requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered, the intended methods of disposition thereof and whether the Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Public Offering, and if such Underwritten Public Offering shall be in the form of a Shelf Block Trade, the time periods set forth in Section 4(d) shall be applicable. As promptly as reasonably practicable upon receipt of a Demand Registration Request, the Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration as soon as practicable following such request (subject to any lock-up restrictions) and to the Corporation’s reasonable ability to comply with the Regulation S-X age of financial statement requirements for financial statements to be included in such Registration Statement of the Registrable Securities that the Corporation has been so requested to register, including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, amending or supplementing a Shelf Registration Statement, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with the applicable regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, subject in all respects to the Corporation’s receipt of all information from the Major Webhelp Stockholders that is required by law to be included in the applicable Registration Statement.

(b)Withdrawal of Demand Registration Requests. Any Major Webhelp Stockholder that has requested its Registrable Securities be included in a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3(a) may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from such Demand Registration upon written notice to the Corporation and the underwriter(s), if applicable, (i) at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with the Demand Registration, or (ii) if in connection with an Underwritten Public Offering, the execution of the related underwriting agreement. Upon receipt of a notice to such effect with respect to all of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration, the Corporation shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement. The first Registration Request in a rolling twelve-month period which does not result in an effective registration under the Securities Act or a Registration Request that is withdrawn prior to the filing of the requested Registration Statement shall not be counted as a Registration Request for purposes of the Registration Request limits in Section 3(a), provided thereafter, any Registration Request which does not result in an effective registration under the Securities Act or a Registration Request that is withdrawn prior to the filing of the requested Registration Statement shall be counted as a Registration Request for purposes of the Registration Request limits in Section 3(a).
(c)S-3 Eligibility. From and after the date hereof until the termination of the Agreement, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility to be able to file and use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
(d)Continued Effectiveness. The Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Registration Statement filed in response to a Demand Registration Request effective until the date on which the Major Webhelp Stockholders dispose of all of their Registrable Securities (including any other Major Webhelp Stockholder) then covered by such Registration Statement (such period of continued effectiveness, the “Effectiveness Period”). Subject to Section 5, the Corporation shall be deemed not to have used commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period if the Corporation voluntarily takes any action or voluntarily omits to take any action that would result in any holder of the Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law or is recommended by a regulatory body.
(e)Selection of Underwriters. In the case of an Underwritten Public Offering that is the subject of a Demand Registration Request, the Demanding Holder(s) shall select the underwriter(s) (including the roles thereof); provided that such selection is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation.
Section 4.Piggyback Registration Rights.
(a)Participation. If the Corporation proposes to file a Registration Statement or conduct a Public Offering, whether on its own behalf or in connection with the exercise of any Demand Registration rights by any holder of Common Stock (including any holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement) possessing such rights (other than (i) a registration relating solely to an employee benefit plan or employee stock plan, a dividend reinvestment plan, or a merger or a consolidation; (ii) a registration incidental to an issuance of debt securities under Rule 144A; (iii) a registration on Form S-4 or any successor form; or (iv) a registration on Form S-8 or any successor form), with respect to an offering (for its own account or otherwise, and including any registration pursuant to Section 2) that includes any Registrable Securities, then the Corporation shall give written notice (the “Initial Notice”) to the Major Webhelp Stockholders at least 20 Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation files the
-6-


Registration Statement, or, in the case of an Underwritten Public Offering, the anticipated pricing date, and the Major Webhelp Stockholders shall be entitled to include in such Registration Statement, or to sell in such Underwritten Public Offering, such number of Registrable Securities as each Major Webhelp Stockholder may request in writing. The Initial Notice shall offer the Major Webhelp Stockholders the right, subject to Section 3(b) to register (a “Piggyback Registration”) such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Major Webhelp Stockholder may request and shall set forth (A) the anticipated effective date of such Registration Statement, or, in the case of an Underwritten Public Offering, the anticipated trade date or pricing date, and (B) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that is proposed to be included in such Registration Statement. Subject to Section 3(d), the Corporation shall include in such Registration Statement such Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests to register within ten (10) calendar days after the Initial Notice has been given (such holders, “Requesting Holders”). Any Major Webhelp Stockholder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Corporation requesting that such Major Webhelp Stockholder not receive notice from the Corporation of any proposed Piggyback Registration; provided, however, that such Major Webhelp Stockholder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice at any time, and shall have the right to be included in an applicable Piggyback Registration if such written Opt-Out Notice is received by the Corporation at least 15 Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation files the applicable Registration Statement, or in the case of an Underwritten Public Offering, the anticipated pricing date. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Major Webhelp Stockholder (unless subsequently revoked), the Corporation shall not be required to deliver any notice to such Major Webhelp Stockholder pursuant to this Section 4(a) and such Major Webhelp Stockholder (unless such Major Webhelp Stockholder’s Opt-Out Notice is subsequently revoked) shall no longer be entitled to participate in Piggyback Registrations by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4(a).
(b)Piggyback Registration Withdrawal.    Any Major Webhelp Stockholder may withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notice to the Corporation and the underwriter(s) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration, provided that such written notice is received by the Corporation at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Piggyback Registration, or in connection with an Underwritten Public Offering, the execution of the related underwriting agreement.
(c)Corporation Control. Except for a Registration Statement being filed in connection with the exercise of a Demand Registration Request subject to Section 3, the Corporation may decline to file a Registration Statement after giving the Initial Notice, or withdraw any such Registration Statement after filing but prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; provided that the Corporation shall notify each Requesting Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Corporation’s decision to take any such action. Except as provided in Section 3(f)the Corporation shall have sole discretion to select any and all underwriters that may participate in any Underwritten Public Offering.
(d)Shelf Block Trade. If a Major Webhelp Stockholder wishes to engage in a block trade, a bought deal or transaction proposed to be marketed on a same-day or overnight basis off of a Shelf Registration Statement (either through filing an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or through a take-down from an already existing Shelf Registration Statement) (a “Shelf Block Trade”), then notwithstanding the time periods set forth above, the Major Webhelp Stockholder shall notify the Corporation of the Shelf Block Trade not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence. The Corporation shall promptly notify the other Major Webhelp Stockholders which hold Registrable Securities of such Shelf Block Trade and the other Major Webhelp Stockholders must elect whether or not to participate by 11:00 a.m., New York time on the next Business Day and the Corporation shall as expeditiously as
-7-


possible use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such offering (which may close as early as two (2) Business Days after the date it commences).
(e)Underwriters’ Cutback. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Registration or Public Offering pursuant to this Section 4 is for an Underwritten Public Offering and the managing underwriter(s), in good faith, advise the Corporation in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Public Offering exceeds the number of securities which may be sold without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of the success of such offering, then the Corporation shall include in such Underwritten Public Offering only that number of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such underwriter(s) may be sold without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of the success of such offering (such maximum number of such securities, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), and the Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Public Offering shall be allocated as follows:
(i)In the case of an exercise of any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3 by the Major Webhelp Stockholders or any other holder of Registrable Securities possessing such rights under this Agreement:
(1)first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (pro rata on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders);
(2)second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (1), the securities of any other Persons holding contractual registration rights other than pursuant to this Agreement, if any, as nearly as possible on a pro rata basis based on the total amount of securities held by such holders (“Other Rights Holders”); and
(3)third, the securities to be issued and sold by the Corporation in such Registration.
(ii)In the case of a Registration or Public Offering by the Corporation on its own behalf:
(1)first, the securities to be issued and sold by the Corporation in such Registration without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
(2)second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (1), the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Requesting Holders) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(3)third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), the securities of Other Rights Holders pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the number of securities owned by each such holders, if any;
provided that in the case of this clause (e)(ii), the number of Registrable Securities included in the Underwritten Public Offering shall not be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Public Offering; and
-8-


(iii)In the case of a Registration or Public Offering by the Corporation on behalf of Other Rights Holders:
(1)first, the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (pro rata on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Requesting Holders); and
(2)second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (1), the securities of Other Rights Holders (if any), pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the number of securities owned by each such holders, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(3)third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), the securities to be issued and sold by the Corporation in such Registration.
Section 5.     General Procedures.
(a)Registration Postponement; Suspension of Sales. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement at any time would require the Corporation to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Corporation may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Major Webhelp Stockholders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be permitted to exercise a Suspension more than one (1) time during any twelve (12)-month period (except that the Corporation may use this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period if the Corporation is exercising such right during the 15-day period prior to the Corporation’s regularly scheduled quarterly earnings announcement date) or for a total period of greater than ninety (90) calendar days in the aggregate in any rolling twelve (12) month period, provided that, to the extent a Suspension is due to ongoing negotiations or discussions regarding a material merger, acquisition, or other similar transaction and the requirements for such Suspension set forth in this sentence continue to be satisfied, the total Suspension period may be exercised for up to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in the aggregate in any rolling twelve month period; and provided further that the Corporation shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such ninety (90) calendar day or one hundred twenty (120) calendar day period, as applicable, other than pursuant to a registration relating to the sale or grant of securities to employees or directors of the Corporation or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, equity incentive or similar plan or a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Corporation shall immediately notify the Major Webhelp Stockholder in writing upon the termination of any Suspension, amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and furnish to any Major Webhelp Stockholders such numbers of copies of the Registration Statement or Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as such Major Webhelp Stockholder may reasonably request.

(f)Furnishing Documents. Except as otherwise reasonably requested by a Major Webhelp Stockholder or an underwriter, the Corporation’s obligation to furnish materials under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, copies of Registration Statements and amendments and supplements thereto, Prospectuses (including any preliminary Prospectuses and Prospectus supplements), correspondences, and other documents as any Major Webhelp Stockholder or underwriter may reasonably request, may be satisfied through the electronic delivery of such materials, including the posting of such materials on EDGAR.
Section 6.Indemnification.
(a)The Corporation agrees to indemnify and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Major Webhelp Stockholder that is a seller of Registrable Securities, and each of its employees, advisors, agents, representatives, partners, officers, and directors, its Affiliates and each Person who controls such Major Webhelp Stockholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act) (collectively, the “Seller Affiliates”) (i) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements except as limited by Section 6(c)) based upon, arising out of, or resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, or resulting from any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission; and (iii) against any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) as may be reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, or
-13-


such violation of the Securities Act or Securities Exchange Act, to the extent that any such expense or cost is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above; except in each case insofar as any such statements are made in reliance upon information furnished to the Corporation in writing by such seller or any Seller Affiliate expressly for use therein. The reimbursements required by this Section 6(a) will be made by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.
(b)In connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus covering the sale of Registrable Securities in which a Major Webhelp Stockholder that is a seller of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Major Webhelp Stockholder agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify the Corporation and its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Corporation (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements except as limited by Section 6(c)) based upon, arising out of, or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any information so furnished by such seller or any of its Seller Affiliates in writing expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such sellers of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such seller of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to the amount of Registrable Securities registered by them, and, providedfurther, that such liability will be limited to the net amount received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(c)Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) 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; providedhowever, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses; (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person; or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, 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, conditioned or delayed). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party or (ii) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 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 (which shall be
-14-


chosen by the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities so 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, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.
(d)Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions 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, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the selling Major Webhelp Stockholders or any underwriters or all of them 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 in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 6(c), defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Major Webhelp Stockholder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount by which the net proceeds received by such Major Webhelp Stockholder with respect to the sale of any Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of damages which such Major Webhelp Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any and all untrue or alleged untrue statements of material fact or omissions or alleged omissions of material fact made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto related to such sale of Registrable Securities. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not itself guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Major Webhelp Stockholders’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several (and not joint) in proportion to the amount of Registrable Securities registered by them. If indemnification is available under this Section 6, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 6(a) and Section 6(b) without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 6(d) subject, in the case of the Major Webhelp Stockholders, to the limited dollar amounts set forth in Section 6(b).
(e)No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Each indemnifying party agrees that it will not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, consent to entry of any judgment or settle or compromise any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect to which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless the foregoing contains an unconditional release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties, of the indemnified parties from all liability and obligation arising therefrom.

The indemnification and contribution 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 transfer of securities.
