2. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

2.1 Legends. None of the Securities, including shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, has been (or will have been at the time of issuance) registered under the Act. Certificates representing the Shares, the Warrants, and upon exercise of the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable at such time, shall bear the following legend:

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) an exemption from registration under such Act (which, if requested by the issuer, shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel to such effect reasonably satisfactory to the issuer).

2.2 Restrictions on Transfer of Securities. Except as otherwise provided for in this Article 2, no Stockholder shall Transfer any Securities without the prior written consent of Holdings.

2.3 Purchase on Death or Termination of Employment. Upon the death of the Initial Party or the termination of the employment of the Initial Party by Holdings or any subsidiary of Holdings (provided that the Initial Party is not, following such employment termination, an employee of Holdings or any subsidiary of Holdings) for any reason whatsoever, Holdings shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable upon notice given not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the date of such death or

termination of employment, to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Securities (whether owned by the Initial Party or any Permitted Transferee of the Initial Party) at the Fair Market Value therefor as of the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such date of termination or death.

(a) If Holdings elects to exercise its rights to repurchase Securities under this Section 2.3, it shall deliver to each Stockholder (or the administrator of the estate of any deceased Stockholder) a notice of its election to so exercise (the “Repurchase Offer Notice”), which notice shall set forth Holdings’ determination of the Fair Market Value of the Securities. If, within five (5) business days following delivery of the Repurchase Offer Notice, the Initial Party (or the administrator of the Initial Party’s estate, the “Objecting Party”) delivers a notice to Holdings disputing Holdings’ determination of Fair Market Value, Holdings and the Objecting Party shall endeavor in good faith to agree upon a mutually acceptable determination of Fair Market Value of the Securities. Failure by the Objecting Party to object within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be acceptance of Holdings’ determination of Fair Market Value and a waiver of any right to object thereto. If, within ten (10) days following delivery of a notice disputing Holdings’ determination of Fair Market Value, Holdings and the Objecting Party are not able to agree upon the Fair Market Value of the Securities, Holdings shall retain a nationally recognized accounting, investment banking or other firm, reasonably acceptable to the Objecting Party, experienced in the valuation of assets similar to the Securities, to value the Securities. The determination of such expert shall be binding upon Holdings and the Stockholders and the expenses of retaining such expert shall be borne equally by Holdings and the Objecting Party, provided,

however, that, within ten (10) days following delivery of the determination of such expert to Holdings, Holdings shall have the right to withdraw its offer to repurchase the Securities and elect not to exercise its rights under this Section 2.3. If Holdings’ offer to repurchase the Securities is not withdrawn as provided above, the closing of the repurchase by Holdings of the Securities shall take place on the date specified in the Repurchase Offer Notice, which date shall not be earlier than ten (10), or later than ninety (90), days following delivery of the Repurchase Offer Notice, provided, however, that, if the Objecting Party shall have objected to Holdings’ determination of Fair Market Value of the Securities, the closing of the repurchase of the Securities shall take place on a date specified by Holdings that shall be not less than ten (10), nor more than sixty (60), days following the final determination of such Fair Market Value, and provided further, however, that, if the closing of the repurchase of Securities shall be deferred by operation of Section 2.3(c) hereof, the closing of the repurchase of Securities shall take place on a date specified by Holdings that shall be not less than ten (10), nor more than sixty (60), days following the date such deferral terminates.

(b) (i) Payment for the Securities repurchased by Holdings pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be as follows:

(A) If the event giving rise to Holdings’ right torepurchase under this Section 2.3 shall be a termination of the Initial Party’s employment for Cause, payments shall be made in five equal annual payments on the first through the fifth anniversaries of the date of the closing of such repurchase (or such shorter period as Holdings may choose and set forth in the Repurchase Offer Notice) with interest thereon as set forth in Section 2.3(d) hereof; or

(B) If the event giving rise to Holdings’ right torepurchase under this Section 2.3 shall be anything other than a termination of the Initial Party’s employment for Cause, payments shall be made in three equal annual payments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the closing of such repurchase (or such shorter period as Holdings may choose and setforth in the Repurchase Offer Notice) with interest thereon as set forth in Section 2.3(d) hereof;

provided, however, that Holdings shall have the right to prepay any such amounts, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.

(ii) As used herein “Cause” shall mean:

(A) any act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or commission of a crime involving moral turpitude by the Initial Party;

(B) any breach by the Initial Party of any material covenant, condition, or agreement in any employment agreement entered into with Holdings or any subsidiary of Holdings;

(C) any good faith finding by Holdings (or the subsidiary of Holdings that employed the Initial Party) that the Initial Party repeatedly failed to perform the Initial Party’s required duties; provided that Holdings (or such employing subsidiary) shall have provided the Initial Party with notice of such failure to performand have afforded the Initial Party a reasonable opportunity to cure (it being understood that compliance with the notice or cure provisions set forth in any written employment agreement with the Initial Party shall

constitute reasonable actions on behalf of Holdings (or such employing subsidiary)); or

(D) any chemical dependency by the Initial Party (other than in connection with medicines prescribed for the Initial Party).

(c) (i) Holdings’ obligation to close the repurchase of, or make any payments (including any payments of interest) for, the Securities repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be qualified, as hereinafter provided, in the event of the existence of a Credit Restriction. In the event of a Credit Restriction, Holdings may, at its option, defer (without penalty or premium) the closing of the repurchase of the Securities or all or any portion of any payments otherwise due, until such time as such closing or payment, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Holdings (the “Board”) is no longer subject to such Credit Restriction. The obligation to close the repurchase of, or make payments for, the Securities repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be tolled during any period of deferral provided for above, and such repurchase shall be closed or such payments shall (re)commence following such deferral on the same schedule as provided in Section 2.3(b) hereof (but with all time frames for payments extended for the period of deferral, i.e. with no acceleration of payments in respect of payments that were due during such period of deferral); provided that interest on the purchase price for the Securities repurchased (or to be repurchased if the closing of the repurchase is deferred by reason of the Credit Restriction) pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall accrue during such period of deferral at the rate set forth in Section 2.3(d) hereof and shall be paid as set forth in said Section 2.3(d). If the closing of the repurchase was deferred by

reason of the Credit Restriction, interest shall accrue, as aforesaid, beginning on the 91st day following delivery of the Repurchase Offer Notice.

(ii) As used herein, a “Credit Restriction” shall be deemed to exist if any provision of any agreement with lenders to Holdings or holders of debt securities of Holdings (or lenders to, or holders of debt securities of, any subsidiary of Holdings), (A) restricts or limits Holdings’ right to effect such repurchase or make any such payment, (B) restricts or limits the right of Holdings’ subsidiaries to transfer (by way of dividend or otherwise) to Holdings the funds necessary to make such repurchase or payment, or (C) provides that the closing of such repurchase or making of any such payment would (x) restrict the right of Holdings or any of its subsidiaries to borrow any funds under such agreements, (y) result in a default thereunder or (z) otherwise result in an adverse affect on Holdings or any of its subsidiaries under such agreements, in each case as reasonably determined by the Board, whose determination shall be binding on the parties hereto.

(d) Interest on the unpaid portion of the purchase price for the Securities repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall accrue at a variable rate constituting the prime rate published by Holding’s primary bank lender (from time to time) from the date of the closing of such repurchase until payment therefor is made. Each payment by Holdings pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall include all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such payment on the then unpaid portion of the purchase price for the Securities repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.3. Interest accrued during any period of deferral (pursuant to (c) above) shall be paid as follows:

(i) If the closing of the repurchase is deferred, such accrued interest shall be added to the purchase price for the Securities otherwise established hereunder, and shall be paid, together withaccrued interest thereon, as set forth in Section 2.3(b) hereof;

(ii) If the closing of the repurchase had previously taken place, but payments under Section 2.3(b) hereof are deferred, such accruedinterest shall effectively be capitalized over the remaining term of repayment set forth in Section 2.3(b) hereof, to be repaid, together with interest thereon, in the same fashion as the then balance of the original principal amount. (e) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary,

Holdings shall have the right to assign, in whole or in part, to any other party its right to repurchase Securities under this Section 2.3.

2.4 Right to Compel Sale.

(a) If Xxxxxxxx and his Permitted Transferees (the “Proposed Transferors”), wish to sell all, and not less than all, of the Common Stock or Derivative Securities then owned by the Proposed Transferors on such date, to any bona fide independent third party other than an Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee of such Proposed Transferors (the “Compelled Sale Purchaser”), and if such Compelled Sale Purchaser requires, as a condition to acquiring such Common Stock or Derivative Securities upon terms acceptable to the Proposed Transferors, that the Stockholders sell to such Compelled Sale Purchaser all, and not less than all, of the Securities, then each Stockholder shall be obligated to join and fully cooperate in the sale together with the concurrent sale by the Proposed Transferors (a

“Compelled Sale”) of all of its respective Securities to the Compelled Sale Purchaser, subject to the following:

(i) The terms and conditions applicable to the sale of the Securities shall be identical to those applicable to the sale of the securities by the Proposed Transferors, including, without limitation,the amount and nature of consideration and the same representations, indemnities and the like required of the Proposed Transferors.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any liability of any Stockholder in connection with such sale shall be (A) several and not joint and several, (B) shall be limited to the proceeds actuallyreceived by such Stockholder, and, (C) in any event except for any liability occasioned by the specific wrongdoing of any Person, the liability of the Proposed Transferors and the Stockholders shall be further limited to damages occasioned by the breach of the representations and warranties made by them (which, in the case of the Stockholders, shall only include representations and warranties as to their ownership of the Securities being sold and other matters specifically applicable to them and their Securities) and damages arising under any indemnity or escrow provisions that are limited to their proportion of the aggregate proceeds received by all of them.

(b) The Proposed Transferors shall notify each Stockholder in writing of a Compelled Sale (a “Compelled Sale Notice”), which Compelled Sale Notice shall set forth all of the material terms and conditions of the Compelled Sale, including, without limitation, the proposed amount and nature of consideration and all other material terms and conditions, including the date of the proposed Transfer and all applicable representations, indemnities and other contract provisions. Each Stockholder shall execute and deliver to the Proposed

Transferors within five (5) business days after delivery to such Stockholder for such execution, all documents required to be executed by such Stockholder in order to consummate such Compelled Sale, subject to the limitations on liability contained in Section 2.4(a)(ii) hereof. Further, and in any event, each Stockholder hereby appoints the Secretary of Holdings as its attorney-in-fact to execute any and all documents and instruments and take all actions reasonably necessary to Transfer the Securities owned by such Stockholder in order to effect the terms of this Section 2.4, which power of attorney may only be exercised if the Compelled Sale complies with all of the terms of this Section 2.4. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Secretary of Holdings as the attorney-in-fact of each Stockholder for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(c) Upon consummation of the sale of the Securities to the Compelled Sale Purchaser pursuant to the Compelled Sale, the Compelled Sale Purchaser shall (i) notify each Stockholder of such completion and shall furnish such evidence of said sale (including time of completion) and of the terms thereof as any of the Stockholders may reasonably request, and (ii) remit to each Proposed Transferor and each Stockholder the consideration for the total sales price of Common Stock and Derivative Securities of such party sold pursuant thereto, against delivery by such party of such evidences of ownership of such party’s Common Stock and Derivative Securities as may be requested by the Compelled Sale Purchaser, and the compliance by such party with any other conditions to closing generally applicable to all Proposed Transferors and Stockholders.

(d) If any Compelled Sale Offer is withdrawn, or terminated for any reason, prior to consummation, the Proposed Transferors shall, without prejudice to their (or any

other Proposed Transferor’s) rights hereunder to deliver a subsequent Compelled Sale Notice, return to each Stockholder all documentation which such Stockholder had previously delivered to the Proposed Transferor in connection with such Compelled Sale Offer.

2.5 Transfers to Permitted Transferees. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 2 to the contrary, each Stockholder may Transfer any or all Common Stock or Derivative Securities owned by such Person to Permitted Transferees of the Initial Party.

(b) Any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 2.6(a) hereof, shall be conditioned in each such case upon any such Transferee first entering into a joinder agreement (a “Joinder Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which such Transferee, and the Common Stock or Derivative Securities acquired, shall become subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including those contained in Section 2.5(c) hereof.

rely upon any notice given by such Transferor Stockholder as containing the intentions of its Transferees, and (iv) where applicable, such Transferees shall share any rights contained in this Agreement as they shall deem appropriate, and as reflected by any notices provided by such Transferor Stockholder. If the Initial Party Transfers all of its Securities it may designate, by written notice to Holdings and all other stockholders, a successor Person to give and accept notices, on behalf of all Transferees of the Initial Party, as set forth herein.

2.6 Termination on Initial Public Offering. The restrictions on Transfer of Common Stock and Derivative Securities and the other rights, restrictions and obligations contained in this Article 2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect following an Initial Public Offering.

2.7 Transfers Not in Compliance Void.
