adopted by the Board of Directors, to designate for nomination by the Board the

election to the Board as shall constitute the remainder of the Board.
2.2 Board of Directors of the Company. (a) So long as it shall
hold any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Share Equivalents or Subject
Shares, each Holder agrees to vote all of its shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, Share Equivalents or Subject Shares, as applicable, as to which it has

voting, acquisition or disposition of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Share
Equivalents or Subject Shares, as applicable.

Subject Shares held by Doubletree, XxXxxx, the Trusts or the Fix Partnership

than one Holder, then Doubletree, XxXxxx, the Trusts or the Fix Partnership, as
the case may be, shall: (i) act, or shall cause one of such Holders, to act, as
agent and proxy for all purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation
the voting of Subject Shares, the nomination of Directors, the giving of
consents, the approval of amendments, the receipt of notices, etc.) for all of
the Doubletree Holders, XxXxxx Holders or the Fix Partnership Holders, as the
case may be, and (ii) specify in writing to the other parties that it (or such
other Holder) is to act as such agent and proxy, and thereafter the other
parties shall be entitled to look solely to, and to deal solely with, the person
so specified for all purposes of this Agreement as if such Holder held all the
Subject Shares held by the party providing such notice and its Permitted
Transferees.
2.5 Irrevocable Proxy. The Fix Partnership Holders and the Trusts
hereby appoint XxXxxx as its and their proxy to exercise in XxXxxx'x sole
discretion all rights of the Fix Partnership Holders and the Trusts to designate
persons for nomination, removal or the filling of vacancies and to exercise all
rights pursuant to Article 2 hereof. This proxy is coupled with an interest in
the Company and shall be irrevocable. Except as set forth below in this
paragraph, this proxy may be invoked by XxXxxx at any time by notice to the
other Holders but, unless and until invoked, such rights may be exercised by the
Fix Partnership Holders and the Trusts; provided, however, that upon the death
of Xxxxxx X. Fix all such rights shall automatically vest in XxXxxx which shall
thereafter have the sole right to exercise all such rights of the Fix
Partnership Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this proxy may not be
invoked or exercised after the death of Xxxx XxXxxx.
2.6 Termination. The rights and obligations of any holder of
Series A Preferred Stock, Share Equivalents or Subject Shares pursuant to this
Agreement shall terminate (a) as to any Significant Purchaser, if such
Significant Purchaser shall hold, beneficially or of record, less than 20% of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Share Equivalents purchased by such
Significant Purchaser pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, (b) as to any
rights of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Share Equivalents, upon
waiver of such rights in writing, (c) as to any holder of Share Equivalents,
upon transfer of such Share Equivalents pursuant to a registered public
offering, block trade or other public sale, including pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (d) as to all holders of Series A
Preferred Stock or Share Equivalents, upon failure of such holders or their
Permitted Transferees, collectively, to hold, beneficially or of record, at
least 20% of the shares of Series A
6
7
Preferred Stock or Share Equivalents, and (e) as to the holders of the

ARTICLE 4
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Injunctive Relief. It is acknowledged that it will be
impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties
fail to comply with certain of the obligations imposed on them by this Agreement
and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be
irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person
shall, therefore, be entitled to injunctive relief and/or specific performance
to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to
enforce any of such provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto
shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
4.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform or
cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and
documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out
the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.

Holders or their Agent or Proxy and, if such amendment or supplement adversely
affects any holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Share Equivalents, 100% of the
Preferred Holders and (iii) may not be discharged except by such written
instrument or by performance. Any such amendment so approved shall be binding on
all Holders. No waiver of any term or provision shall be effective unless in
writing signed by the party to be charged. The Stockholders Agreement, as in
existence prior to the execution hereof, among the Initial Holders, is and shall
be after the date hereof null and void and of no further force and effect.
4.5 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and, subject to the terms and provisions
hereof, their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.
4.6 Invalidity of Provision. The invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that
jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that
provision, in any other jurisdiction.
4.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously
in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be deemed but one and the same
instrument and each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be
