Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Stockholder shall have the right to transfer Parent Shares (i) to any Family Member, (ii) to the trustee or trustees of a trust solely (except for remote contingent interests) for the benefit of the Stockholder and/or one or more Family Members and/or a charitable organization (a "Family Member Trust"), (iii) to a foundation created or established by the Stockholder, or any other charitable organization, (iv) to a corporation of which the Stockholder and/or any Family Member and/or any Family Member Trust owns all of the outstanding capital stock, (v) to a limited liability company of which the Stockholder and/or any Family Member and/or any Family Member Trust owns all of the outstanding membership interests, (vi) to a partnership of which the Stockholder and/or any Family Member and/or any Family Member Trust owns all of the partnership interests, (vii) to the executor, administrator or personal representative of the estate of the Stockholder or any other Family Member, or (viii) to any guardian, trustee or conservator appointed with respect to the assets of the Stockholder, provided, that in the case of any such transfer, the transferee shall execute an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (each such transfer, a "Permitted Transfer" and, collectively, the "Permitted Transfers"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Family Member" shall mean (a) the Stockholder's spouse, if living with the Stockholder, (b) any one of the following: the Stockholder's father, mother, issue, brother or sister, and the issue of a brother or sister, and (c) the spouse of any Family Member described in (b) above, if the spouse shall be living with that Family Member. The Stockholder hereby agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with Cordiant's transfer agent against the transfer of such Parent Shares except in compliance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may pledge, hypothecate or otherwise grant a security interest in all or a portion of the Parent Shares beneficially owned by him during the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that any Person receiving such Parent Shares shall be subject to all of the restrictions on Disposition of such Parent Shares imposed by this Agreement to the same extent as the Stockholder.
Restrictions on Dispositions Shareholder agrees that, from and after the date of this Agreement and through the Effective Time, he or she will not take any action that will alter or affect in any way the right to vote the Shares, except (i) with the prior written consent of Bancorp or (ii) to change such right from that of a shared right of Shareholder to vote the Shares to a sole right of Shareholder to vote the Shares.

(b) The Member(s) may base a determination that a distribution is not prohibited on any of the following: (i) Financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances; (ii) A fair valuation; or (iii) Any other method that is reasonable in the circumstances. The effect of a distribution is to be measured as of the date the distribution is authorized if the payment is to occur within 30 days after the date of authorization, or the date payment is made if it is to occur more than 30 days after the date of authorization. (c) A Member who votes for a distribution in violation of this Agreement or the Act shall be personally liable to the Company for the amount of the distribution that exceeds what could have been distributed without violating this Agreement or the Act if it is established that the Member did not act in compliance with this Section 6.3.

provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such refinancing agreement or amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, replacement or extension agreement are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in such predecessor agreements;

and (2) with respect to clause (c) only, (A) any such encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary nonassignment provisions (including provisions forbidding subletting or sublicensing) in leases governing leasehold interests and licenses to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or license or the property leased, or licensed thereunder; (B) any encumbrance or restriction contained in credit agreements, security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or in Production Payments and Reserve Sales, to the extent such encumbrance or restriction restricts the transfer of the property subject to such credit agreements, security agreements or mortgages or Production Payments and Reserve Sales; (C) encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement, instrument or Capital Stock assumed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or for which any of them becomes liable as in effect at the time of such transaction (except to the extent such agreement, instrument or Capital Stock was entered into in connection with or in contemplation of such transaction), which encumbrances and restrictions are not applicable to any assets other than assets acquired in connection with such transaction and all improvements, additions and accessions thereto and products and proceeds thereof;

(F) restrictions on the transfer of property or assets required by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; and (G) customary restrictions contained in asset sale agreements limiting the transfer of such assets pending the closing of such sale.

(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Holder to a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Holder in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Holders hereunder.
