Section 3. Restrictions on Transfer.
------------------------

Investor Stock is transferable only pursuant to (a) a Public Offering registered
under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in force) if such rule or
rules are available or (c) subject to the conditions specified in Section 3A
(ii) below, any other legally available means of transfer.
(ii) In connection with the transfer of any Investor Stock (other than a
transfer described in Section 3A(i)(a) or (b) above), the holder thereof shall
deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the
transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of counsel which (to the
Company's reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to
the effect that such transfer of Investor Stock may be effected without
registration of such Investor Stock under the Securities Act. In addition, if
the holder of the Investor Stock delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel
that no subsequent transfer of such Investor Stock shall require registration
under the Securities
- 5 -
Act, the Company shall promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new
certificates for such Investor Stock which do not bear the Securities Act legend
set forth in Section 4A hereof. If the Company is not required to deliver new
certificates for such Investor Stock not bearing such legend, the holder thereof
shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to
the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in
this Section and Section 4A hereof.
(iii) Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly
supply to the Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information regarding
the Company required to be delivered in connection with a transfer pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(iv) Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Investor Stock in
violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company
shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of
such Investor Stock as the owner of such Investor Stock for any purpose.
3B. Sale Notice Prior to making any Transfer of Investor Stock,
-----------
Purchaser will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company 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). Purchaser will not consummate any
such Transfer until 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company
and to GTCR, unless the parties to the Transfer have been fully determined
pursuant to this Section 3B and Section 3C prior to the expiration of such 60-
day period. (The date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein
as the "Authorization Date.")
------------------
3C. First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but
--------------------
not less than all) of the shares of Investor 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 Purchaser 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 Investor Stock to be transferred, GTCR may
- 6 -
elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Investor 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 Purchaser within 60 days
after the Sale Notice has been given to GTCR. If neither the Company nor GTCR
elect to purchase all of the shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale
Notice, Purchaser may transfer the shares of Investor 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 180-day period immediately
following the Authorization Date. Any shares of Investor Stock not transferred
within such 180-day period will be subject to the provisions of this Section 3C
upon subsequent transfer.
3D. Transfers in Connection with Transfers of Term Loan C. The provisions of
-----------------------------------------------------
Sections 3B and 3C shall not apply to any Transfer of Investor Stock by
Purchaser to the transferee of a portion of the Term Loan C then held by
Purchaser in an amount not to exceed the product of (i) the number of shares of
Investor Stock purchased by Purchaser hereunder multiplied by (ii) the quotient
-------------
of (a) the amount of Term Loan C transferred by Purchaser to such transferee
divided by (b) the amount of Term Loan C held by Purchaser on the date thereof;
----------
provided that such transferee shall agree to be bound by all of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement as if it were a
party hereto and thereto.
For purposes of this Section 3D; "Term Loan C" means Term Loan C as
-----------
defined in the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof among Coinmach
Industries Co. and Super Laundry Equipment Co., L.P., as borrower, Xxxxxx
Financial, Inc. as agent and lender, and Xxxxxxx Life Insurance Company and

------
Stock purchased hereunder or acquired pursuant hereto for its own account with
the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment,
