Restrictions on Disposition The Stockholder hereby agrees, except as permitted in this Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) below, not to directly or indirectly, offer to sell, contract to sell, transfer, assign, cause to be redeemed or otherwise sell or dispose of any of the Parent Shares (collectively a "Disposition") received by the stockholder in connection with the Merger without the prior written consent of Cordiant. 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.
Restrictions on Shares The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be sold or transferred unless (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (ii) the Corporation shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in such circumstances) to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (iii) they are sold under Rule 144 under the Act. Except as otherwise provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant that have not been so registered and that have not been sold under an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNDER AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. Upon the request of a holder of a certificate representing any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation shall remove the foregoing legend from the certificate and issue to such holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend, if (i) with such request, the Corporation shall have received either (A) an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in such circumstances, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such certificate, or (B) satisfactory representations from Holder that Holder is eligible to sell such security under Rule 144 or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such securities is in effect. Nothing in this Warrant shall (i) limit the Corporation's obligation under the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) affect in any way Holder's obligations to comply with applicable securities laws upon the resale of the securities referred to herein.

Restrictions on Issuance of Shares If at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion, that listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock covered by the Option upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.
Limitations on Disposition Grantor will not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt or contract to do so except as permitted by the Credit Agreement.
Restrictions on Sale of Shares Optionee represents and agrees that, upon Optionee's exercise of the Option in whole or part, unless there is in effect at that time under the Securities Act of 1933 a registration statement relating to the shares issued to him, he will acquire the shares issuable upon exercise of this Option for the purpose of investment and not with a view to their resale or further distribution, and that upon each exercise thereof Optionee will furnish to the Company a written statement to such effect, satisfactory to the Company in form and substance. Optionee agrees that any certificates issued upon exercise of this Option may bear a legend indicating that their transferability is restricted in accordance with applicable state or federal securities law. Any person or persons entitled to exercise this Option under the provisions of Paragraphs 5 and 6 hereof shall, upon each exercise of the Option under circumstances in which Optionee would be required to furnish such a written statement, also furnish to the Company a written statement to the same effect, satisfactory to the Company in form and substance.
Restrictions on Transfer of Shares (a) There can be no valid transfer (as hereinafter defined) of any shares of stock purchased on exercise of the Option, or any interest in such shares, by any holder of such shares or interests unless such transfer is solely for cash consideration and is made in compliance with the following provisions:
(1) Before there can be a valid transfer of any shares or any interest therein, the record holder of the shares to be transferred (the "Offered Shares") shall give written notice (by registered or certified mail) to the Company. Such notice shall specify the identity of the proposed transferee, the cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee and the other terms and conditions of the proposed transfer. The date such notice is mailed shall be hereinafter referred to as the "notice date" and the record holder of the Offered Shares shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Offeror."
(2) For a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the notice date, the Company shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in subsection (a)(3) of this Section 5.8. This option shall be exercisable by the Company by mailing (by registered or certified mail) written notice of exercise to the Offeror prior to the end of said thirty (30) days.
(3) The price at which the Company may purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to the exercise of such option shall be the cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee (as set forth in the notice required under subsection (a)(1) of this Section 5.8). The Company's notice of exercise of such option shall be accompanied by full payment for the Offered Shares and, upon such payment by the Company, the Company shall acquire full right, title and interest to all of the Offered Shares.
(4) If, and only if, the option given pursuant to subsection (a)(2) of this Section 5.8 is not exercised, the transfer proposed in the notice given pursuant to subsection (a)(1) of this Section 5.8 may take place; provided, however, that such transfer must, in all respects, be exactly as proposed in said notice except that such transfer may not take place either before the tenth (10th) calendar day after the expiration of said thirty-day option exercise period or after the ninetieth (90th) calendar day after the expiration of said thirty-day option exercise period, and if such transfer has not taken place prior to said ninetieth (90th) day, such transfer may not take place without once again complying with subsection (a) of this Section 5.8.
(b) As used in this Section 5.8, the term "transfer" means any sale, encumbrance, pledge, gift or other form of disposition or transfer of shares of the Company's stock or any legal or equitable interest therein; provided, however, that the term "transfer" does not include a transfer of such shares or interests by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or a gift of such shares if the donee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.8.
(c) None of the shares of the Company's stock purchased on exercise of the Option shall be transferred on the Company's books nor shall the Company recognize any such transfer of any such shares or any interest therein unless and until all applicable provisions of this Section 5.8 have been complied with in all respects. The certificates of stock evidencing shares of stock purchased on exercise of the Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the transfer restrictions imposed by this Section 5.8 and to the repurchase option provided for in Section 5.8.
Restrictions on Dividends So long as any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Board of Directors shall not declare, and the Corporation shall not pay or set apart for payment any dividend on any Junior Securities or make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of, any Junior Securities or Parity Securities or any warrants, rights or options exercisable for or convertible into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities (other than the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of debentures or other debt securities that are convertible or exchangeable into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities), or make any distribution in respect of the Junior Securities, either directly or indirectly, and whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Corporation or other property (other than distributions or dividends in Junior Securities to the holders of Junior Securities), and shall not permit any corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Corporation to purchase or redeem any Junior Securities or Parity Securities or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities (other than the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of debentures or other debt securities that are convertible or exchangeable into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities or the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of Junior Securities or Parity Securities in exchange for Junior Securities or Parity Securities) unless prior to or concurrently with such declaration, payment, setting apart for payment, repurchase, redemption or other retirement or distribution, as the case may be, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on shares of the Series C Preferred Stock not paid on the dates provided for in paragraph A of Article III hereof (including Arrearages and accumulated dividends thereon) shall have been paid, except that when dividends are not paid in full as aforesaid upon the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, all dividends declared on the Series C Preferred Stock and any series of Parity Dividend Securities shall be declared and paid pro rata so that the amount of dividends so declared and paid on Series C Preferred Stock and such series of Parity Dividend Securities shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated dividends (including interest accrued on or additional dividends accumulated in respect of such accumulated dividends) on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and such Parity Dividend Securities bear to each other.
