the issuance of the Investor Stock hereunder, Purchaser represents and warrants
to the Company that, in each case, as of the Closing:
(i) The Class A Common Stock to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant to

any applicable state securities laws, and such Class A Common Stock will
not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities laws.
(ii) Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in
such Class A Common Stock for an indefinite period of time, and Purchaser
acknowledges that such Class A Common Stock has not been registered under
the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration

(iii) Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of such Class A
Common Stock and has had full access to such other information concerning

to which Purchaser is subject.
2B. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with

duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to
carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchase

otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its capital stock or any warrants,
options or other rights to acquire its capital stock, except pursuant to
this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the Purchase Agreements. As

to this Agreement do not and will not require registration under the
Securities Acts.

negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchase

absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise, whether or not known to the
Company and whether due or to become due and regardless of when asserted),
(iii) owned any assets, or (iv) entered into any contracts or agreements.
Section 3. Restrictions on Transfer.
------------------------
3A. Transfer of Investor Stock.
--------------------------
(i) Subject to the restrictions set forth in the remainder of this
Section 3, 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 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
- 5 -
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 Sections 3C and 3D 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 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
- 6 -
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 30-day period immediately following the Authorization Date.
Any shares of Investor Stock not transferred within such 30-day period will be
subject to the provisions of this Section 3C upon subsequent transfer.
3D. Co-Sale Rights.
---------------
(i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by
delivering written notice to Purchaser within 90 days after delivery of the
Sale Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to participate in such Transfer,
Purchaser and GTCR shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer,
on the same terms and at the price calculated pursuant to subparagraph
3D(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 Purchaser
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
-----------
Purchaser, and if Purchaser 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), Purchaser 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).
Purchaser will use its 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 Investor 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 A Common transferred in accordance with this paragraph 3D shall be
equal to the amount per share of Class A Common which such transferee has
agreed to pay to Purchaser.
- 7 -
Section 4. Additional Restrictions on Transfer of Investor Stock.
-----------------------------------------------------
4A. Legend. The Purchaser hereby represents that it is acquiring the
------
Investor Stock purchased hereunder or acquired pursuant hereto for its own
account with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of
investment, and that it has no intention of selling such securities in a public
distribution in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state
securities laws; provided that nothing contained herein shall prevent the
Purchaser and subsequent holders of Investor Stock from transferring such
securities in compliance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof. Each
