ARTICLE ONE
MANAGEMENTHOLDER'S COMMON STOCK GENERALLY
1.1 MANAGEMENTHOLDER'S GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each
Managementholder represents and warrants that:
(a) he has acquired and is holding, or will acquire and hold, all
Managementholder's Stock held by him as sole principal and for investment only,
and not in trust in any manner for or on behalf of any other person or persons;
and
(b) he is not a party to or bound by any agreement regarding or
affecting his Managementholder's Stock or his rights as a holder of
Managementholder's Stock other than this Agreement, a pledge, if any, of
Managementholder's Stock in accordance with Section 1.5 or an agreement, if any,
to effect a transfer of Managementholder's Stock in accordance with this
Agreement.
1.2 TRANSFERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT. Each Managementholder
agrees that Managementholder's Stock held by him will not be transferred in
violation of this Agreement, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), or any other applicable law.
1.3 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS. The Corporation may refuse to register
any transfer by the registered holder of Managementholder's Stock in its
transfer books if such transfer is not in accordance with this Agreement, the
1933 Act, or any other applicable law.
1.4 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, the Managementholder's Stock may not be transferred without the
consent of the Corporation. The Managementholder's Stock may be transferred only

1.6 SALES TO BE FREE OF ENCUMBRANCES.
(a) In connection with any sale of Managementholder's Stock pursuant to
this Agreement, the Managementholder shall discharge any indebtedness referred
to in Section 1.5 and deliver the Managementholder's Stock being sold free and
clear of any claim, mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, security interest or other
encumbrance of any kind.
(b) If the Managementholder fails to comply with subsection (a), the
purchaser may withhold from the purchase price for the Managementholder's Stock
an amount equal to the indebtedness secured by any such claim, mortgage, charge,
pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance or, if the amount of such
indebtedness is not known by the purchaser, an amount equal to the purchaser's
good faith estimate thereof, and shall pay such withheld amount to the person to
whom such indebtedness is owed. Any such payment of such withheld amount shall
discharge the purchaser's obligation to make payment for the purchased shares to
the extent of such withheld amount.
1.7 CLOSINGS OF SALES OF MANAGEMENTHOLDER'S STOCK.
(a) At the closing of any sale of Managementholder's Stock pursuant to
this Agreement, the Managementholder selling Managementholder's Stock shall
deliver to the purchaser the share certificates and other instruments
representing such Managementholder's Stock, together with stock powers and other
instruments transferring such Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer and free
and clear of any claim, mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, security interest or
encumbrance of any kind, and the purchaser shall deliver to the Managementholder
the consideration payable upon closing. If subsection 2.3(b) of this Agreement
is applicable to the sale and the purchaser is other than the Corporation or
Onex, the purchaser shall also deliver to the Managementholder an under taking
to pay the increased purchase price for the Managementholder's Stock in
accordance with subsection 2.3(b) in the events therein described, as if such
purchaser were a party to this Agreement.
(b) If the Managementholder is not present at the closing, or is
present but for any reason fails to produce and deliver to the purchaser, in
accordance with subsection (a), the certificates or other instruments
representing any of the Managementholder's Stock being transferred or any other
document required under subsection (a), then the purchaser may deposit the
applicable consideration payable to such Managementholder, as and when payable
under this Agreement, into a special account in trust for the Managementholder
at a branch of the Corporation's bankers. Such deposit shall constitute valid
and effective payment to the Managementholder of the purchase price for such
Common Stock notwithstanding the fact that the Managementholder may have
voluntarily attempted to encumber or dispose of any of the Common Stock contrary
to the terms hereof, or that one or more certificates or other evidences of
ownership of the Common Stock may have been delivered to any other person. From
and after the date of such deposit (even though the share certificates in the
name of the such Managementholder or other instruments representing such Common
Stock have not been delivered to the purchaser), the purchase and transfer of
the Common Stock shall be deemed to have been fully completed and all right,
title, benefit and interest of the
- 4 -
Managementholder in and to all such Common Stock, both at law and in equity,
shall be conclusively deemed to have been transferred and assigned to and become
vested in the purchaser.
(c) Where the purchaser has made a deposit in accordance with
subsection (b), the Managementholder shall be entitled to receive the
consideration for his Managementholder's Stock deposited with the Corporation's
bankers, without interest, upon delivery to the Corporation of (i) the
certificates or other instruments representing the Managementholder's Stock duly
endorsed for transfer in the manner required by subsection (a) and (ii) any
other document required under subsection (a) to be delivered by him at the
closing including, without limitation, the release or discharge of any
encumbrance relating to the Managementholder's Stock being sold.
(d) Each Managementholder irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Secretary from time to time of the Corporation (the "Secretary") as his attorney
and agent authorized, in his name and on his behalf, to execute and deliver (i)
all such assignments, transfers, deeds and instruments as may be necessary to
effectively transfer the Common Stock being transferred to the purchaser on the
books of the Corporation and (ii) any other document required under subsection
(a) to be delivered by him at closing. Such appointment and power of attorney,
being coupled with an interest, shall not be revoked by the insolvency,
bankruptcy, death or incapacity of the Managementholder and the Managementholder
hereby agrees to ratify and confirm any act taken by the Secretary on his behalf
hereunder and agrees that the receipt of the Secretary as attorney shall be a
good discharge to the Managementholder.
(e) The Secretary of the Corporation (or another officer designated by
the Board of Directors to act in his stead) shall, at all times, hold the
certificates representing all Management holder's Stock. The Secretary or such
other officer shall hold such certificates in safekeeping to the order of the
registered holder of the Common Stock represented by the certificates (but
subject to the terms of this Agreement); provided that, upon being satisfied
that a lender reasonably requires possession of any certificate for the purposes
of an arrangement permitted by Section 1.5, the Secre tary may release the
certificate to the lender upon receipt of an irrevocable direction from the
registered holder to the lender to return the certificates to the Secretary if
the registered holder would otherwise be entitled to the return of the
certificates.
(f) Nothing in this Section is intended to limit any other remedy
available to a purchaser of Managementholder's Stock.
1.8 APPLICATION OF THE AGREEMENT. For greater certainty, it is
acknowledged and agreed that this Agreement shall apply in respect of all Common
Stock now or hereafter acquired and held by a Managementholder including, but
not limited to, Common Stock acquired pursuant to Section 3.5, but not including
Common Stock purchased by a Managementholder through the facilities of a
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted in the
NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market after the Corporation has become a
Public Company.

ARTICLE TWO
SALE OF MANAGEMENTHOLDER'S STOCK
2.1 SALES TO ANOTHER MANAGEMENTHOLDER OR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEE.
(a) If a Managementholder desires to transfer Managementholder's Stock
at any time pursuant to a bona fide written offer to purchase his
Managementholder's Stock for cash or for cash and the assumption of indebtedness
referred to in Section 1.5 (an "Offer") from another Managementholder or a
management employee of the Operating Company who in either case is acceptable to
the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion (an "Offeror"), he shall give the
Corporation and Onex notice thereof (a "Notice") attaching a copy of such Offer.
(b) If a Notice is given, the Corporation, or if the Corporation does
not exercise its option, Onex, shall have the option, exercisable by notice to
the Managementholder within 30 days after the date of receipt of the Notice by
the Corporation and Onex, to purchase all or any part of the Managementholder's
Stock proposed to be sold pursuant to the Offer for the same price per share and
on the same terms as the Offer.
(c) If the Corporation or Onex do not exercise the option referred to
in subsection (b) within the 30-day option period provided in subsection (b),
and the Board of Directors of the Corporation has consented to the proposed sale
to the Offeror pursuant to the Offer, the Managementholder shall have the right,
exercisable at any time within 60 days after the expiration of such 30-day
option period, to sell any of the Managementholder's Stock as to which the
option referred to in subsection (b) was not exercised to the Offeror in
accordance with the terms of the Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
consent of the Board of Directors shall not be required for such proposed sale
if the Offeror is, at the time of the sale, a Managementholder bound by this
Agreement. If the Managementholder's Stock as to which the option referred to in
subsection (b) was not exercised remains unsold at the end of such 60-day
period, such Managementholder's Stock may not thereafter be transferred unless
the Managementholder again complies with this Section 2.1.
(d) Any Offeror who acquires Common Stock pursuant to an Offer shall,
by its purchase of such Common Stock and acceptance of the certificates
therefor, be deemed to agree to, and shall be bound by, the provisions of this
Agreement and shall at the time of closing of the purchase of any Common Stock
execute such documents as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Corporation,
required in order to evidence such agreement.
2.2 SALE WHEN THE CORPORATION IS A PUBLIC COMPANY.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 2.1, at any time when the Corporation is a
Public Company, except during any 180-day period following any final
qualification or registration of securities of the Corporation for a public
offering, a Managementholder shall, after complying in full with the provisions
of this Section 2.2, be entitled during any 90-day period to sell up to 5% of
the
- 6 -
Managementholder's Stock then held by him through the facilities of any
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted in the
NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws and with the by-laws and regulations of such exchange
(such a sale is hereinafter referred to as a "Market Sale"). No Managementholder
shall, however, sell in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 2.2 more than a
maximum of one-third of the aggregate number of Managementholder's Stock
acquired to such date by such Managementholder; provided that the Board of
Directors may, on the recommendation of the Presi dent of the Corporation,
permit the Managementholder to sell in excess of the foregoing maximum
proportion of his Managementholder's Stock.
(b) Not less than five and not more than ten business days before
effecting any Market Sale, the Managementholder shall first give notice to the
Corporation and Onex (a "Market Sale Notice") offering to sell to the
Corporation or, if the Corporation elects not to purchase the Managementholder's
Stock, to Onex, all of that number of shares of Managementholder's Stock which
it proposes to sell, at a price per share of Common Stock equal to the average
closing price per share on such securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
then listed or which is quoted or the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter
market for the ten trading days thereon immediately preceding the date of the
Market Sale Notice (the "Market Price").
(c) If the Corporation or Onex, wish to accept an offer made pursuant
to a Market Sale Notice they shall do so by notice of election to purchase (a
"Market Exercise Notice"), given to the Managementholder within three business
days after receipt by the Corporation and Onex of the Market Sale Notice, which
designates the number of shares of Managementholder's Stock to be purchased, and
the Managementholder shall thereupon be bound to sell such Managementholder's
Stock to the Corporation or Onex , as the case may be, and the Corporation or
Onex , as the case may be, shall be obligated to buy such shares of
Managementholder's Stock at the Market Price. If the Corporation or Onex elect
to purchase a part, only, of the number of the Managementholder's Stock which
the Managementholder offered to sell, the Managementholder may sell the balance
of the shares of Managementholder's Stock which were offered, through the
facilities of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, on any of the
five consecutive business days commencing on the fifth business day after
receipt by the Corporation and Onex of the Market Sale Notice.

Managementholder's voluntary termination, termination by the Operating Company
with or without cause, or the Managementholders' death, permanent disability or
retirement) prior to the time the Corporation becomes a Public Company, the
Corporation (or, if the Corporation elects not to purchase the
Managementholder's Stock, Onex) shall purchase, and the Managementholders shall
sell, all of the Managementholder's Stock owned by such Managementholder. The
Purchase Price payable per
- 7 -
share in any sale of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be equal to
Book Value Per Share.
(b) If the Corporation effects a public offering of securities of the
same class as the Managementholder's Stock purchased pursuant to this Section
2.3 within six months after the closing of such purchase, the purchase price per
share shall be increased by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the public
offering price per share pursuant to such public offering (after deduction of
any applicable underwriters' commissions or discounts and expenses of such
offering on a per share basis) over the Book Value Per Share used in calculating
the original purchase price.
(c) The purchase price for Managementholder's Stock purchased pursuant
to this Section 2.3 shall be paid 100% in cash at the closing of such purchase.
(d) If so required by a selling Managementholder, the Corporation shall
deliver a copy of the balance sheet on which the determination of Book Value Per
Share was based and, in reasonable detail, a calculation of the purchase price
payable to the selling Managementholder. The selling Managementholder, upon
request, shall also receive a copy of a letter from the auditors of the
Corporation to the effect that they have reviewed the calculation of the
purchase price payable, and that nothing has come to their attention that caused
them to believe that such calculation was not in accordance with this Agreement.
If the Corporation delivers the balance sheet, calculation and letter, the
determination of the purchase price payable set forth therein shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties.
(e) If a Managementholder acquires any Common Stock following the
termination of his employment with the Operating Company through the exercise of
any option pursuant to the terms of a plan for the benefit of management
employees of the Operating Company, the Corporation (or, if the Corporation so
elects, Onex) shall purchase, and the Managementholder shall sell, all such
Common Stock at a purchase price of 100% of Book Value Per Share.
2.4 SALE UPON CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT WHEN THE CORPORATION IS A PUBLIC
COMPANY.
Notwithstanding Section 2.2, if a Managementholder ceases to be
employed in a full-time capacity by the Operating Company for any reason
(including but not limited to the Managementholder's voluntary termination,
termination by the Operating Company, with or without cause, or the
Managementholder's death, permanent disability or retirement) after the time the
Corporation has become a Public Company, the Managementholder shall be entitled
to sell his Managementholder's Stock through the facilities of any securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on the NASDAQ system
or over-the-counter market, provided such sales are made in the normal course
and in a manner which complies with applicable securities laws and regulations
and stock exchange rules and provided further that no more than one-half of his
Managementholder's Stock may be sold prior to the first anniversary of such
termination of employment. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, (a) in the
event of the death of the
- 8 -
Managementholder, his executors or administrators shall not be restricted as to
the proportion of his Managementholder's Stock that may be sold during the year
following termination of employment, (b) in the event of the termination of his
employment by reason of his permanent disability, the Managementholder shall not
be restricted as to the proportion of his Managementholder's Stock that may be
sold during the year following termination of employment, and (c) in the event
of the retirement of the Managementholder, up to 75% of his Managementholder's
Stock may be sold during the year following termination of employment.
2.5 DEFINED TERMS AND EXPRESSIONS. As used in this Article:

neglect of duty, serious and wilful misconduct, theft, embezzlement, fraud,
breach of fiduciary duty or other like cause.

the Operating Company to renew an employment contract at the end of its stated
term.
2.6 SALE UPON DEFAULT OF INDEBTEDNESS. If a Managementholder defaults

Corporation does not exercise such option, Onex) shall have the option to
purchase the shares of Managementholder's Stock held by such Managementholder at
a purchase price per share determined in accordance with subsection 2.3(a)
exercisable by notice (for purposes of this Section, a "Notice") to such
Managementholder.
2.7 CLOSING.

Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.6, shall be free and clear of all liens, charges,
encumbrances or restrictions with the exception of any restrictions imposed by
this Agreement where such Managementholder's Stock is purchased by Onex.
2.8 NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each Managementholder
acknowledges that, in the course of performing and fulfilling his duties and as
an employee of the Operating Company (which in this section includes its
affiliates), he may have access to and may be entrusted with confidential
information concerning its activities, business operations and its customers and
clients, which information is not generally known in the industry in which the
Operating Company does business ("Confidential Information"). The disclosure of
any Confidential Information to competitors of the Operating Company or to other
persons would be highly detrimen tal to the interests of the Operating Company.
Each Managementholder further acknowledges and agrees that the right to maintain
confidential such Confidential Information is a proprietary right which the
Operating Company is entitled to protect. Accordingly, each Managementholder
covenants and agrees with the Operating Company that (a) he will not during the
continuance of his employment by the Operating Company disclose any such
Confidential Information to any person, nor shall he use the same, except as
required in the normal course of his employment by the Operating Company, and
(b) after the termination or expiration of his employment by the Operating
Company, he will not disclose or make any use of same without the consent of the
Operating Company, provided, however, that he shall not be prohibited by this
paragraph from using the personal skills and knowledge developed by him prior to
and during his employment by the Operating Company. Each Managementholder
acknowledges that the above covenants are reasonable and agrees that, in
addition to any other remedies at law it may have (which other remedies such
Managementholder acknowledges to be inadequate to protect its legitimate
interests), the Operating Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in the
event of a breach thereof.
ARTICLE THREE
SALE OF COMMON STOCK BY ONEX AND THE CORPORATION
3.1 PIGGY-BACK RIGHT.
(a) Except as provided in Section 3.4, if at any time the Board of
Directors approves a Sale of the Company (an "Approved Sale"), the Corporation
shall, at least 20 days prior to the Approved Sale, give notice (a "Sale
Notice") to the Management Representatives (as hereinafter defined) on behalf of
the Managementholders describing the terms of the Approved Sale in reasonable
detail, including the identity of the proposed purchaser, and stating that each
Managementholder has (and each Managementholder shall then have) the option to
sell to the proposed purchaser his Managementholder's Stock, simultaneously with
and conditional upon the closing of the Approved Sale, at the price per share
and on the other terms consistent with the rights
- 10 -
and preferences of the Common Stock set forth in the Corporation's Certificate
of Incorporation as is reasonably determined by the Board of Directors.
(b) The option pursuant to subsection (a) shall be exercised by notice
to the Corporation given not later than the date specified therefor in the Sale
Notice, which shall be not less than 10 business days after such Sale Notice is
given. If a Managementholder gives notice of his election to sell, he shall be
obligated to sell the shares of Managementholders' Stock specified in his notice
upon the terms specified in subsection (a) to the proposed purchaser,
conditional upon the closing of the Approved Sale.
(c) If the proposed purchaser pursuant to the Approved Sale has
specified a limited number of shares of Common Stock which it is willing to
purchase in the aggregate, each Managementholder shall have the right to sell to
the proposed purchaser up to that number of shares of Common Stock which is in
the same proportion to all shares of Common Stock being purchased by the
proposed purchaser as the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by such
Managementholder is of the total number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding (in each case, assuming the conversion or exchange of all securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock).
3.2 DRAG-ALONG RIGHT. If at any time the Board of Directors proposes an
Approved Sale, the Corporation may, by so notifying the Management
Representatives on behalf of the Managementholders in the Sale Notice, require
each Managementholder to sell his Managementholder's Stock, simultaneously with
and conditional upon the closing of such Approved Sale, at the price (whether in
cash or other consideration) per share and other terms consistent with the
rights and preferences of the Common Stock set forth in the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation as is reasonably determined by the Board of
Directors, and each Managementholder shall thereupon be obligated to sell such
Managementholder's Stock. If the form of consideration to be received on such
Approved Sale is, in the reasonable opinion of the Board of Directors after
consultation with the Management Representatives, inappropriate as a form of
consideration for Managementholders, the Corporation shall use its best efforts
to have such consideration converted to cash or more appropriate consideration
at a fair value.
3.3 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ON A DISPOSITION. In connection with
any Approved Sale, in which Managementholder's Stock is to be sold by a
Managementholder, the Corporation may require the Managementholder to enter into
agreements with the purchaser representing and warranting that, except as
specifically disclosed to the purchaser in writing, such Managementholder, at
the time of the closing of the Approved Sale, does not have actual knowledge
that any representation or warranty made by the Corporation or any other
shareholder in connection with the Approved Sale was untrue in any material
respect when made or is untrue in any material respect as of such closing; the
liability of the selling Managementholder under such representation and warranty
shall be limited to the amount which he receives from the sale of his
Managementholder's Stock in connection with the Approved Sale and shall be pro
rata in accordance
- 11 -
with the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Managementholder in
relation to the shares of Common Stock being sold by all shareholders as part of
the Approved Sale.
3.4 EXCEPTIONS TO THE PIGGY-BACK RIGHT. Section 3.1 shall not apply to
any sale as part of a public offering of Common Stock.
3.5 PIGGY-BACK RIGHT ON A PUBLIC OFFERING.
(a) If the Corporation proposes to effect a public offering of shares
of Common Stock in which shares of the Corporation's Common Stock held by Onex
are to be included, the Corporation shall, at least 20 days prior to the
proposed initial filing or registration, give notice thereof and of the manner
of offering contemplated thereby ("Public Offering Notice") to each of the
Managementholders unless a determination has been made by the managing
underwriter(s) pursuant to sub-section (g) of this Section 3.5 to the effect
that there is reasonable cause to believe that the inclusion of the
Managementholders' Stock might adversely affect the offering.
(b) The Corporation shall not be required to give a Public Offering
Notice in accordance with subsection (a) or to register Managementholder's Stock
in accordance with subsection (c) if the distribution of shares of Common Stock
being proposed cannot, under applicable law and regulations, be combined
(pursuant to the form of prospectus or registration statement proposed to be
used) with a distribution of shares of Managementholder's Stock or if and to the
extent that such distribution of Managementholder's Stock would contravene an
agreement with a security holder that prohibits or restricts the inclusion of
securities to be sold by others.
(c) If a Public Offering Notice is given, then, on written notice to
the Corporation (a "Holder's Request") from a Managementholder within 10 days
after the receipt of the Public Offering Notice (which Holder's Request shall
specify the number of shares of Managementholder's Stock which the
Managementholder wishes to sell and distribute, which number shall not represent
a greater proportion of such Managementholder's Stock than the proportion of all
shares of Common Stock held by Onex which is proposed to be sold and distributed
pursuant to such public offering) the Corporation will use its best efforts to
register the shares of Managementholder's Stock stated in the Holder's Request
(or, if less, the Pro Rata Number of such Managementholder's Stock) for
distribution pursuant to the proposed public offering in addition to the shares
of Common Stock being offered by Onex. If the number of shares of Common Stock
which Onex, the Managementholders and other holders of Common Stock wish to sell
and distribute exceeds the number thereof which, in the opinion of the managing
underwriter(s), is the maximum number thereof that might be included with the
offering without adversely affecting the offering, then the excess above such
maximum number shall not be included with the offering, and the number of shares
of Common Stock of Onex and each Managementholder wishing to sell, to be sold
with the offering, shall be proportionate to their respective holdings of Common
Stock. If any of the Managementholders is thereby entitled to sell more shares
of Common Stock than he wishes to sell, Onex and each remaining Managementholder
shall be entitled to make up the difference pro-rata from its or his respective
holdings, provided that any such Managementholder shall have confirmed
- 12 -
his desire to make up his pro-rata proportion of the difference out of his
holdings within 5 days after notice of his entitlement to do so is given to him.

outstanding.
(e) On a sale pursuant to this Section 3.5, Managementholders shall

preliminary prospectus, the prospectus or registration statement and related
papers and filings (including any Blue Sky filings) in connection with the

Managementholder's Stock shall not, except with the express consent of the
Managementholder, be voted in favor of any resolution the effect of which will
be to change the Managementholder's Stock or Onex Stock, or convert or exchange
the Managementholder's Stock or Onex Stock into or for different securities,
unless in every such case the Managementhold er's Stock and the Onex Stock are
thereby changed identically or converted into or exchanged for the same type of
securities in proportion to their respective holdings of Common Stock, in each
case on terms consistent with the rights and preferences set forth in the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation as is reasonably determined by Onex.
4.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIVES. Each of the Managementholders hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Management Representatives (as defined
in this Section 4.3) as his representatives to take all actions on his behalf in
connection with this Agreement, in their sole
- 14 -
and absolute discretion, including but not limited to executing any consents or
waivers in connection with, or any amendments to, this Agreement (with the
exception of any decision to sell his Managementholder's Stock pursuant to
Section 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, or 3.5). In the event of a disagreement among the
Management Representatives, a majority of them shall have all authority granted
to the Management Representatives by the Managementholder under this Agreement.
The term "Management Representatives" shall mean the Chief Executive Officer of
the Corporation and any two Vice-Presidents of any Operating Company designated

Certificate of Incorporation as is reasonably determined by the Board of
Directors.

order or decree or by any governmental agency or authority, each
Managementholder entitled to receive information regarding the Corporation and
its subsidiaries under this Section 5.2 shall maintain the confidentiality of
all nonpublic information obtained by such Managementholder hereunder which the
