RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
SECTION A GENERAL RESTRICTIONS; EXCEPTIONS.
(a) Each Holder agrees that it or he will not Transfer any
interest in any Stock held by such Holder except Permitted Transfers or
Transfers made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Transfer
of any Stock sought to be made in violation of this
Page 35 of 47 Pages
Agreement shall be null and void, and neither the Company nor any transfer agent
shall give any effect in the Company's stock records to such attempted Transfer.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 2 to the
contrary, each Management Holder shall have the right ("Management Transfer
Right"), without being subject to the transfer restrictions set forth below in
Sections 2.2 and 2.3, to Transfer in any twelve-month period up to 15,000 shares
of Stock held by such Management Holder. The Management Transfer Right shall
terminate on the fifth anniversary of this Agreement.
SECTION B RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL ON PROPOSED TRANSFER.
A If a Management Holder (the "PROPOSED TRANSFEROR") wishes to Transfer
any Stock except in a Permitted Transfer, the Proposed Transferor shall do so
only for cash, Cash Equivalents or a combination of both, and shall first
deliver written notice (the "OFFER NOTICE") to the Company and each Investor
identifying the Stock proposed to be Transferred (the "OFFERED SECURITIES") and
the proposed transferee, and stating the price at which, and other material
terms on which, the Proposed Transferor wishes to Transfer the Offered
Securities, including the anticipated date of the proposed Transfer, which shall
be a date not earlier than thirty (30) days after the date the Offer Notice is
delivered.
B Delivery of an Offer Notice to the Investors shall constitute an
offer by the Proposed Transferor to Transfer all of the Offered Securities in
the aggregate, but not less than all of the Offered Securities in the aggregate
(the "OFFER"), first to the other Investors, then to the Company pursuant to
this Section 2.2, at the price and on the other terms described in the Offer
Notice.
C Upon receipt of the Offer Notice, each Investor shall have the right
to purchase the number of shares of the Offered Securities equal to such
Investor's Pro Rata Amount of such Offered Securities, exercisable by written
notice delivered to the Company and the Proposed Transferor within ten (10) days
after receipt of the Offer Notice. The participating Investors also may allocate
the right to purchase the Offered Securities between or among them in any
proportion they choose as reflected in a notice to the Proposed Transferor
within such ten-day period, with or without the purchase of Offered Securities
by the Company as described in Section 2.2(e).
D If the Investors shall not have exercised their rights to purchase
all of the Offered Securities in the aggregate, then within three (3) days after
the expiration of the period specified in Section 2.2(c) above, the Proposed
Transferor shall notify those Investors who agreed to purchase their Pro Rata
Amount of the Offered Securities of the number of shares of Offered Securities
which remain available for purchase. Each Investor shall then have the right to
purchase all of the remaining Offered Securities or, if more than one Investor
wishes to purchase all of the remaining Offered Securities, their Pro Rata
Amount of the remaining Offered Securities, with only the shares held by
Investors who wish to purchase the remaining Offered Securities considered in
computing the Pro Rata Amount. Such right shall be exercisable by
Page 36 of 47 Pages
written notice delivered to the Proposed Transferor within five (5) days after
receipt of the notice specified in this Section 2.2(d).
E If the Investors shall not have exercised their rights to purchase
all of the Offered Securities in the aggregate, then within three (3) days after
the expiration of the five-day period specified in Section 2.2(d) above, the
Proposed Transferor shall notify the Company of the number of shares of Offered
Securities which remain available for purchase by the Company. The Company shall
then have the right to purchase such remaining Offered Securities, exercisable
by written notice delivered to the Proposed Transferor within five (5) days
after receipt of the notice specified in this Section 2.2(e)
F If any of the Company and the participating Investors have either
individually or in the aggregate elected to accept an Offer in its entirety (the
"PURCHASERS"), then the Proposed Transferor shall Transfer the Offered
Securities to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall acquire the Offered
Securities, at the price and on the other terms described in the Offer Notice.
The consummation of the Transfer shall take place at 10:00 a.m. local time at
the offices of the Company, on the date specified for the proposed Transfer in
the Offer Notice, or at such other location or date on which the participants in
the transaction agree in writing, at which time the Purchasers shall deliver the
appropriate consideration in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, and the
Proposed Transferor shall deliver certificates representing the Securities to be
sold, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever
(except those imposed by this Agreement and securities laws generally), together
with such other instruments and documents of transfer as the Purchasers shall
reasonably request.
G If the Company and the Investors do not, either individually or in
the aggregate, accept an Offer in its entirety, then the Proposed Transferor may
Transfer the Offered Securities (subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
securities laws generally and to any other agreements binding on the Proposed
Transferor) to the transferee named in the Offer Notice, at any time within the
sixty (60) day period beginning on the date that the Proposed Transferor shall
have received final notice (or by expiration of the period specified in Section
2.2(e) above) that the Company and the Investors shall not have elected to
purchase the Offered Securities in the aggregate. The provisions of this Section
2.2 shall again apply to any Transfer of Offered Securities not Transferred
within such period.
H Promptly after any sale pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Offering
Investor shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof and shall furnish
such evidence of the completion (including date of completion) of such sale and
of the terms thereof as the Company may reasonably request. The exercise or
non-exercise by any Investor of its rights under this Section 2.2 shall not
impair such Investor from exercising any rights under Section 2.3 hereof.
SECTION C TAKE ALONG RIGHTS.
A If a Proposed Transferor wishes to Transfer any Stock except in a
Permitted Transfer and neither the Company nor the Investors, either
individually or in the aggregate, accept an
Page 37 of 47 Pages
Offer with respect to such Stock in its entirety under Section 2.2, then such
Proposed Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, Transfer his or its
Take-Along Share (as defined below) of the Offered Securities to the transferee
named in the Offer Notice on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer
Notice only if the transferee acquires the Offered Securities as part of a
transaction in which the transferee also offers to acquire the Take-Along Share
of the Fully Diluted Securities held by each Investor (determined as of the date
of the consummation of such transaction) which chooses to Transfer in such
transaction at the same price per fully diluted Common share and on the other
material terms and conditions as specified in the Offer Notice.
B Within ten (10) days after receipt of final notice as set forth in
Section 2.2(g) (or by expiration of the period specified in Section 2.2(e)), the
Proposed Transferor will notify each Investor of the Investor's rights under
this Section 2.3.
C Any of the Investors may elect to participate in a Transfer under
this Section 2.3 with respect to all or any portion of their Take-Along Share,
by written notice delivered to the Proposed Transferor not later than fourteen
(14) days after the Investor received the notice under Section 2.3(b),
accompanied by certificates representing the appropriate number of Securities to
be sold by each such Investor pursuant to such sale, free and clear of any and
all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever (except those imposed by this
Agreement and securities laws generally), together with such documents and
instruments of transfer as the purchaser in such transaction may reasonably
request.
D Each participant's "TAKE-ALONG SHARE" shall equal the aggregate
number of Fully Diluted Securities that the proposed transferee offers to
acquire from the Proposed Transferor, multiplied by a percentage equal to (i)
the number of shares of Fully Diluted Securities held by the participant as of
that date, divided by (ii) the number of shares of Fully Diluted Securities
issued or issuable on that date to the Investors.
SECTION D PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
A Each Investor shall have the right (the "PARTICIPATION RIGHT") to
purchase its Pro Rata Amount of any New Securities that the Company may from
time to time propose to sell and issue after the date hereof, at the price and
upon the general terms specified in the New Issue Notice (as defined below)
regarding such New Securities and otherwise on the terms of this Section 2.4.
B Whenever the Company proposes to issue and sell any New Securities,
the Company shall give each Investor written notice (a "NEW ISSUE NOTICE")
describing the type and amount of New Securities proposed to be issued and the
price and general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New
Securities, specifying a proposed closing date at least forty-five (45) days
after the date each Investor shall have received the New Issue Notice, and
specifying in each case the recipient's Pro Rata Amount as of the date of the
New Issue Notice.
Page 38 of 47 Pages
C Each Investor may exercise its Participation Right with respect to
any proposed New Securities by notice to the Company, given within thirty (30)
days after the Investors shall have received the New Issue Notice describing the
New Securities.
D If any Investor does not exercise its Participation Right with
respect to any proposed New Securities within the thirty-day period, then within
three (3) days after the expiration of such thirty-day period, the Company shall
notify each Investor who proposed to purchase not less than its Pro Rata Amount
of such New Securities of the number of shares of New Securities which remain
available for purchase. Upon receipt of the notice specified in the preceding
sentence, each such Investor shall have the additional Participation Right to
purchase its Pro Rata Amount of the remaining New Securities (considering the
Fully Diluted Securities held by all Investors who purchased less than their Pro
Rata Amount of the New Securities not to be issued and outstanding for purposes
of computing the Pro Rata Amount), exercisable by written notice delivered to
the Company within five (5) days after receipt of the notice of the availability
of the balance of the New Securities. Such Investors also may allocate the right
to purchase the New Securities between or among them in any proportion they
choose (provided that no Investor's Pro Rata Amount may be reduced without its
consent) as reflected in a notice to the Company within such five-day period.
E The Company may sell the New Securities not committed for by
Investors at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers
than those specified in the New Issue Notice with regard to such New Securities,
at any time during (and only during) the sixty (60) days following the
expiration of the last notice period specified in Section 2.4(d) above.
F If the Company does not sell, or obtain binding agreements to
purchase, all of the proposed issue not committed to be purchased by Investors
within the period specified in Section 2.4(e), the Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, sell any of such New Securities.
G The sale of any New Securities to Investors pursuant to this Section
2.4 shall be closed on the same terms, at the same place as, and simultaneously
with, the sale of any such New Securities to any other purchasers (provided that
the closing shall not take place earlier than the proposed closing date
specified in the applicable New Issue Notice without the consent of all
participating Investors).

ARTICLE E
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION A DIVIDENDS IN STOCK. If a stock dividend is paid on any
Stock held by any party to this Agreement, or if any Stock held by any party
to this Agreement is exchanged for Stock of a different class or series, or
for voting trust certificates evidencing any beneficial interest in such
Stock, or if any other event (such as a stock split, reclassification, or
similar event) shall occur so that any Holders shall receive additional or
replacement Securities (whether of the same or a different class or series),
then such Securities of the same or a different class or series, or such
voting trust certificates, as the case may be, shall thereupon become subject
to the provisions of this Agreement upon the same terms and conditions as the
Stock originally covered by this Agreement.
SECTION B LEGENDS.
A Except with respect to Stock excluded hereunder pursuant to
Section 2.1(b), each certificate evidencing any Stock that is issued to any
Holder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER STATE OR
FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
Page 43 of 47 Pages
OFFERED, SOLD, OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO
ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN A STOCKHOLDERS'
AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY 31, 1998, COPIES OF WHICH WILL BE FURNISHED
BY THE COMPANY UPON REQUEST.
B In addition to the legends required by Section 5.2(a), except
with respect to Stock excluded hereunder pursuant to Section 2.1(b), each
certificate for Stock issued to any Holder or any subsequent transferee shall
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with any legend required pursuant to
applicable state corporation and securities laws. If any Stock shall cease to
be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth above or otherwise
required herein, the Company shall, upon written request of the Holder
thereof, issue to such Holder a new certificate evidencing such Stock without
the applicable legend required by Section 5.2(a) endorsed thereon.
C The Company may decline to acknowledge or register a Transfer
of any Security bearing any legend required hereunder, and may instruct any
transfer agent for its Securities to decline the same, unless the Company is
reasonably satisfied that the Securities being transferred have been
registered or are exempt from registration under applicable securities laws.
SECTION C HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
construction of any provisions hereof.
SECTION D PRONOUNS. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall
be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, singular and plural as the
identity of that Person referred to requires.
SECTION E REMEDIES. The parties acknowledge that the Securities

hereto would sustain in the event of a breach hereof by another party hereto

monetary damages. The Company and each Holder accordingly agree (a) to waive
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would
be adequate, and (b) that an aggrieved party hereunder shall be entitled to
compel specific performance of this Agreement, in addition to any other
remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity.
