securities of the Company possessing the power to elect (without reference to
any special or default voting rights) a majority of the members of the Board or
(ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, all Unvested
Shares will become Vested Shares.
5. Repurchase Option.
-----------------
(a) In the event Executive violates paragraph 10(a) of this Agreement
(a "Noncompete Breach"), or in the event Executive's employment by the Company
-----------------
and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (a "Termination"), the Executive
-----------
Call Stock (whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive's transferees,
other than the Company or GTCR) will be subject to repurchase by the Company
first, Management second and GTCR third pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this paragraph 5 (the "Repurchase Option").
-----------------
(b) If the Repurchase Option becomes exercisable because of a
Noncompete Breach or a Termination resulting from the Company's termination of
Executive's employment for Cause, then, the purchase price for each share of
----
Executive Call Stock will be the lower of (a) Executive's Original Cost for such
share or (b) the Fair Market Value of such share. If Executive's employment
terminates other than as described in the preceding sentence, the purchase price
for each (i) Unvested Share shall be Executive's Original Cost for such share,
and (ii) Vested Share shall be the Fair Market Value of such share as of the
date of the related Repurchase Notice or Investor Notice (as hereinafter
defined), as the case may be.
(c) The Company may, at the option of the Board, elect to purchase all
or any portion of the Executive Call Stock from time to time by delivering
written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to Management, GTCR and the holder or
-----------------
holders of such Executive Call Stock from time to time during the 270 days after
the Noncompete Breach or Termination, as the case may be. The Repurchase Notice
will set forth the number of shares of Executive Call Stock, including the
number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares, to be acquired from the recipient
holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and the time and
place for the closing of the transaction.

(d) If for any reason the Company has not elected to purchase all of
the Executive Call Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option, Management shall be
entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for any or all of the shares of
Executive Call Stock, including the Unvested Shares and the Vested Shares, the
Company has not yet elected to purchase (the "Available Shares"), by giving
----------------
written notice to the Company and the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be
repurchased during the 30 days after the date of delivery to Management of the
Repurchase Notice (the "Management Notice") setting forth the number of
-----------------
Available Shares each Manager is willing to purchase. If the Managers elect to
purchase an aggregate number of shares greater than the number of Available
Shares, the Available Shares shall be allocated among the Managers pro rata
based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Manager. As soon as
practicable, and in any event, within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day
period set forth above, the Company shall notify the holder(s) of the Available
Shares and GTCR as to the number of shares being purchased from such holder(s)
by Management (the "Supplemental Repurchase Notice"). At the time the Company
------------------------------
delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the holder(s) of the Available
Shares, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Manager and GTCR
setting forth the number of shares such Manager is entitled to purchase, the
aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the
transaction and, in the notice to GTCR, a statement of the number, type and
purchase price of Available Shares available for purchase by GTCR.
(e) If for any reason Management has not elected to purchase any or
all of the Available Shares pursuant to paragraph 5(d) above, GTCR may elect to
purchase any or all of the Available Shares not purchased by Management by
giving written notice to the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be repurchased
within 30 days after the date of delivery to GTCR of the Supplemental Repurchase
Notice (the "Investor Repurchase Notice") setting forth the number of Available
--------------------------
Shares GTCR is willing to purchase.
(f) Each closing of the purchase of the Executive Call Stock pursuant
to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company,
Management or GTCR in the related Repurchase Notice, Supplemental Repurchase
Notice, or Investor Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, but in any event not
later than 365 days after the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination. At
such closing, Executive shall deliver to the
- 7 -
Company, Management and/or GTCR certificates representing the Executive Stock to
be repurchased by the Company, Management and/or GTCR and the Company,
Management and/or GTCR, as the case may be, will pay for the Executive Call
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option in the following manner:
(i) In the event that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination, payment for
the Executive Call Stock to be purchased shall be made by delivery to
Executive of a cashier's or certified check or wire transfer of funds in the
amount of one-half of the purchase price of the Executive Call Stock on the
date of the closing of the Repurchase Option. Payment for the remaining one-
half of the purchase price shall be made by delivery of a promissory note of
the purchaser, with an aggregate principal amount equal to one-half of the
purchase price of the Executive Stock to be repurchased, payable in one lump
sum payment on the second anniversary of the date of issuance and bearing
interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
(ii) In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination, payment for
the Executive Call Stock to be purchased shall be made by delivery of a
promissory note of the purchaser, with an aggregate principal amount equal
to the total purchase price of the Executive Call Stock to be repurchased,
payable in one lump sum payment on the fifth anniversary of the date of
issuance and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
Any such note issued by the Company pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above
shall be junior and subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of the
Company (for borrowed money or otherwise). In addition, the Company may pay the
total purchase price for such shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under any
bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company. The Company, Management and
GTCR will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from
the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be
guaranteed.
(g) If within six months following the repurchase of Executive Call
Stock pursuant to paragraph 5(f) above, (i) a Sale
- 8 -
of the Company or a Public Offering of the Company's Common Stock registered
under the Securities Act occurs and (ii) the valuation of a share of Common
Stock for such transaction (based upon the purchase price or liquidation
proceeds per share of Common Stock or the Public Offering price per share of
Common Stock, but reduced by any preferential amounts available to any of the
classes of Common Stock) exceeds the amounts per share received by the holder(s)
of Executive Call Stock upon the repurchase of Vested Shares, then such
holder(s) of Executive Call Stock shall be entitled to receive from the Company
the benefit of such higher valuation for the Vested Shares of Executive Call
Stock sold under the Repurchase Option. The excess of (x) the amount which the
holder(s) of Executive Call Stock would have received in such Sale of the
Company or Public Offering assuming the sale of their Vested Shares of Executive
Call Stock purchased by exercise of the Repurchase Option in connection with
such transaction, over (y) the purchase price of the Vested Shares of Executive
Call Stock paid to Executive under the Repurchase Option, shall be paid by
certified check or cashier's check or wire transfer of funds to each such holder
upon consummation of any such transaction. For purposes of this paragraph 5(g),
"Sale" means the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company

group of related persons, owning equity securities of the Company possessing the

majority of the members of the Board, including any such sale accomplished by
merger or consolidation.

- 9 -
(b) Sale Notice. After the Restriction Lapse Date, prior to making any

Transfer, Executive will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company,
-----------
each Manager and GTCR. The Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the
number of shares to be transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed
Transfer and, if known, the identity of the prospective transferee(s). Executive
will not consummate any such Transfer until 90 days after the Sale Notice has
been given to the Company, Management and GTCR, unless the parties to the
Transfer have been fully determined pursuant to this paragraph 6(b) and
paragraphs 6(c) and 6(d) prior to the expiration of such 90-day period. (The
date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein as the
"Authorization Date.")
------------------
(c) First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but
--------------------
not less than all) of the shares of Executive Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Executive, each Manager and GTCR within 30
days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not
elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be transferred, Management may
elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Executive Stock to be
transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale
Notice by giving written notice of such election to Executive, the Company and
GTCR within 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to Management.

Company and Management have not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock
to be transferred, GTCR may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those
set forth in the Sale Notice by giving written notice of such election to
Executive, the Company and each Manager within 90 days after the Sale Notice has

transfer the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price
and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in
the Sale Notice during the 30-day period immediately following the Authorization
Date. Any shares of Executive Stock not transferred within such 30-day period
- 10 -
will be subject to the provisions of this paragraph 6(c) upon subsequent
transfer.
(d) Co-Sale Rights.
---------------
(i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by
delivering written notice to Executive within 90 days after delivery of the Sale
Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to participate in such Transfer, Executive
and GTCR shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, on the same
terms and at the price calculated pursuant to subparagraph 6(d)(ii) below, a
number of shares equal to the product of (x) the quotient determined by dividing
the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such person by the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock owned by Executive and GTCR and (y) the number
of shares to be sold in the contemplated Transfer.
For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares by Executive,
-----------
and if Executive was at such time the owner of 30% of the Company's Common Stock
(on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected to participate and GTCR owned 20%
of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis), Executive would be
entitled to sell 60 shares (30% / 50% x 100 shares) and GTCR would be entitled
to sell 40 shares (20% / 50% x 100 shares).
Executive will use his best efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective
transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in the contemplated transfer and will
not transfer any Executive Stock to the prospective transferee(s) if such
transferee(s) refuses to allow the participation of GTCR.
(ii) The purchase price to be paid by any transferee for shares of
Class B Common and Class A Common transferred in accordance with this paragraph
6(d) shall be determined as follows: (i) the price per share to be paid for
Class B Common included in such Transfer shall be equal to the amount per share
of Class B Common which such transferee has agreed to pay to Executive and (ii)
the price per share to be paid for Class A Common included in such Transfer
shall be the price per share described in clause (i) plus the quotient (the "Per
---- ---
Share Preference") of (A) the sum of the Unreturned Preferred
----------------
- 11 -
Amount and the Unpaid Yield of the Class A Common at such time divided
-------
by (B) the number of shares of Class A Common then outstanding.
--
(e) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this paragraph
-------------------
6 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Executive Stock pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution or among such Executive and such
Executive's Family Members; provided that such restrictions will continue to be
applicable to the Executive Stock after any such transfer and the transferees of
such Executive Stock have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement.
(f) Pledges. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6,
-------
Executive may pledge any shares of Executive Stock to the Company to secure
payment of the Executive Note.

purpose.
(b) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
------------
Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if 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 will not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
(c) Complete Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly
------------------
referred to herein and other documents of even date herewith (i) embody the
complete agreement and understanding among the parties and (ii) supersede and
