transferee were originally a signatory to this Agreement.

SECTION 4. Covenants of Founder and Corporation.
------------------------------------
4.1 Prohibited Transfers.
--------------------
(a) Founder agrees that it shall not Transfer any of its Shares
without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Common Shares held by the Founding Members, except as provided for
in Section 4.2.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Founder (and any permitted transferee of Founder) may Transfer all of its, his
or her Shares: (i) if the stockholder is a limited partnership or a trust, to
any member of the Group of which Founder (or such permitted transferee) is a
member; provided, that such transferee shall agree in writing with the Company,
--------
prior to and as a condition precedent to such Transfer, to be bound by all of
the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) if the stockholder is a corporation, to
any member of its Group; provided, that such transferee shall agree in writing
--------
with the Company, prior to and as a condition precedent to such Transfer, to be
bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement; (iii) to any member of the
Family of Founder (or such permitted transferee); provided, that such
--------
4
transferee shall agree in writing with the Company, prior to and as a condition
precedent to such Transfer, to be bound by all of the provisions of this
Agreement and, provided, further, that the interests in any Family trusts shall
-------- -------
be non-transferable; and (iv) by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
in which event each such transferee shall be bound by all of the provisions of
this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were the deceased
Founder (or permitted transferee).
(c) If requested in writing by the managing underwriters, if any, of
any Public Offering, Founder agrees not to offer, sell, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Shares except as part of such Public Offering within
thirty (30) days before or one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective
date of the registration statement filed with respect to said offering, and the
Corporation hereby also so agrees; provided, however, that this restriction will
--------
not apply to transfers permitted under Section 3.2(b) provided such transferee
agrees to be bound by the restriction contained in this Section 4.1(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Founder shall have accepted an
offer to purchase Offered Shares (as defined below) which have been offered
pursuant to Section 4.2(a), Founder shall not be prohibited from consummating
such sale, provided, that the purchaser agrees to be bound by the restrictions
--------
contained in this Section 4.1(b).
4.2 Right of First Offer on Dispositions.
------------------------------------
(a) Without limiting Founder's right to Transfer all or any part of
its Shares pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement, if Founder
desires to Transfer all or any part of its Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2,
Founder shall submit a written offer (the "Offer") to sell such Shares (the
-----
"Offered Shares") to the Founding Members and the Corporation, which Offer shall
--------------
specify the number of Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the total number of
Shares owned by the Founder, and the terms and conditions, including price, at
which the Shares are being offered.
(b) Each of the Founding Members shall have the right to purchase
that number of Offered Shares, on the same terms and conditions specified in the
Offer, as shall be equal to the number of Offered Shares multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares then owned
by such Founding Members and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate
number of Common Shares then owned by all of the Founding Members (the "Pro Rata
--------
Fraction").
--------
(c) The Corporation shall have the right to purchase all of the
remaining Offered Shares, on the same terms and conditions specified in the
Offer, in excess of the Offered Shares accepted by the Founding Members.
(d) The Founding Members shall have a right of oversubscription such
that, if any Founding Member fails to accept the Offer as to its full Pro Rata
Fraction, it shall have the right to purchase up to the balance of the Offered
Shares not so purchased. Such right of oversubscription may be exercised by such
Founding Member by accepting the offer as to more than its Pro Rata Fraction.
5
(e) If a Founding Member desires to purchase all or any part of the
Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions specified in the Offer, such
Founding Member (a "Purchasing Founder") shall communicate in writing to the
------------------
Founder and the Corporation its election to purchase (an "Acceptance"), which
----------
Acceptance shall state the number of Offered Shares the Purchasing Founder
desires to purchase and shall be delivered in person or mailed to the Founder at
the address set forth in the Offer, with a copy to the Corporation and the other
Founding Member, within 20 days of the date the Offer was made by the Founder
pursuant to Section 4.2(a).
(f) If the Corporation desires to purchase all or any part of the
Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions specified in the Offer, the
Corporation shall deliver its Acceptance to the Founder and the Founding
Members, which Acceptance shall state the number of Offered Shares the
Corporation desires to purchase and shall be delivered in person or mailed to
the Founder at the address set forth in the Offer, with a copy to the Founding
Member, within 20 days of the date the Offer was made by the Founder pursuant to
Section 4.2(a).
(g) If the Corporation and Founding Members elect to purchase all of
the Offered Shares, sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2
shall be made at the offices of the Corporation on the 45th day following the
expiration of the 20-day period described above (or if such 45th day is not a
business day, then on the next succeeding business day). Such sales shall be
effected by the Founder's delivery to each Purchasing Founder or the
Corporation, as the case may be, of a certificate or certificates evidencing the
Offered Shares to be purchased by it, him or her, duly endorsed for transfer to
the Purchasing Founder or the Corporation, as the case may be, which Offered
Shares shall be delivered free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, against payment to the Founder of the
purchase price therefor by the Corporation or such Purchasing Founder, as the
case may be. Payment for the Offered Shares shall be made as provided in the
Offer or by wire transfer or certified check.
(h) If the Purchasing Founders and the Corporation do not elect to
purchase all of the Offered Shares, then the Offered Shares may be sold by the
Founder at any time within 150 days after the date the Offer was made by the
Founder pursuant to Section 4.2(a). Any such sale shall be upon terms and
conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Founder than those
specified in the Offer. Any Offered Shares not sold within such 150-day period
shall continue to be subject to the requirements of a prior offer pursuant to
this Section 4.2.

purchase of the Shares, Founder hereby represents and warrants to the

purchasing the Shares solely for its own account for investment and not with a
view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Shares or any
portion thereof and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell

6

(c) Disposition under Rule 144. Founder understands that the Shares
--------------------------
are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act; that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be
available in any event for at least two years from the date of purchase of any
payment for the Shares, and even then will not be available unless (i) a public
trading market then exists for the Shares, (ii) adequate information concerning

of other securities or property (including cash) thereon or issued in
replacement thereof).
SECTION 7. Remedies. In case any one or more of the covenants and/or

result of any such breach, (b) an action for specific performance of any such
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and/or (c) a temporary or

exercise thereof. Any purported Transfer in violation of the provisions of this
