COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS

4.1. Legend. To the extent required under applicable law, the Warrant and
certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legends in
addition to any other legends required under applicable law:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A SECURITIES PURCHASE AND HOLDERS
AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDERS SPECIFIED THEREIN,
A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE
COMPANY. THE SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES IS
SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF SUCH AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITIES ARE
TRANSFERABLE ONLY UPON PROOF OF COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.
4.2. Regulatory Compliance Cooperation. So long as CVC or its Affiliates
beneficially own any of the Securities, before the Company redeems, purchases
or otherwise acquires, directly or indirectly, or converts or takes any action
with respect to the voting rights of, any shares of any class of its capital
stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of any
class of its capital stock, the Company shall give CVC thirty (30) days prior
written notice of such pending action. Upon the written request of CVC made
within thirty (30) days after its receipt of any such notice, stating that
after giving effect to such action CVC would have a Regulatory Problem (as
described below), the Company will defer taking such action for such period
(not to extend beyond ninety (90) days after CVC's receipt of the Company's
original notice) as CVC requests to permit it and its Affiliates to reduce the
quantity of Securities held by it and its Affiliates in order to avoid the
Regulatory Problem. In addition, the Company will not be a party to any merger,
consolidation, recapitalization or other transaction pursuant to which CVC
would be required to take any voting securities, or any securities convertible
into voting securities, which might reasonably be expected to cause CVC to have
a Regulatory Problem. For purposes of this paragraph, a person will be deemed
to have a "Regulatory Problem" when such person and such person's Affiliates
would own, control or have power over a
4
greater quantity of securities of any kind issued by the Company than are
permitted to be owned under any requirement of any governmental authority
applicable to such person.
4.3. Notation. A notation will be made in the appropriate transfer records
of the Company with respect to the restrictions on transfer of the Securities
referred to in this Agreement.

written consents) to ensure that the Board of Directors of the Company is

serve as an officer of or a consultant to the Company); Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (so
long as he continues to serve as President of the Company); and one independent
nominated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that in the event Masco
owns less than seven percent (7%) of the Common Stock as a result of a sale or
sales of such Common Stock by Masco, then Masco shall no longer have the right
to nominate a director pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; and
provided, further, however, that in, the event CVC owns less than seven percent
(7%) of the Common Stock as a result of a sale or sales of such Common Stock by
CVC, then CVC shall no longer have the right to nominate a director or

Masco, as the case may be, may request that any director nominated by it be

a vacancy is created on the Company's Board of Directors at any time by the

of a director nominated by CVC or Masco, as the case may be, or if otherwise
there shall exist or occur any vacancy on the Company's Board of Directors in a
directorship subject to nomination by CVC or Masco, as the case may be, such
vacancy shall not be filled by the remaining members of the Company's Board of
Directors but each Investor hereby agrees promptly to consent in writing or
vote or cause to be voted all shares of Class A Common Stock now or hereafter
owned or controlled by it to elect that individual nominated to fill such
vacancy and serve as a director, as shall be designated by CVC or Masco, as the
case may be.
5.5. Termination of Voting Agreements. The voting agreements in Section
5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 shall terminate on July 28, 2004 unless extended in the

Investor's employment hereunder which has continued for a period of either (i)

6.2. Restrictions on Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no Original Management Investor shall effect a Transfer prior
to July 29, 1999 of any Securities which at the time of Transfer are subject to
the Purchase Option (as hereinafter defined) and no New Management Investor
shall effect a Transfer prior to the third anniversary of the "Closing Date"
specified for each such New Management Investor (the "Third Anniversary")
opposite such person's name on Schedule II hereto, of any Securities which at
the time of Transfer are subject to the Purchase Option, other than (i)
pursuant to Section 6.3 in connection with the Purchase Option, (ii) with the
consent of the Company (as evidenced by a resolution duly adopted by at least a
majority of the non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors),
(iii) to a Permitted Transferee of the Management Investor in question or (iv)

7
discretion, including, but not limited to, requirements that the transferee be

shall execute an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company,
pursuant to which such employee shall agree to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as were binding upon the transferor of such

hereof and such other provisions as the Company determines and are set forth in
such agreement. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be
null and void and of no force and effect and the purported transferees shall
have no rights or privileges in or with respect to the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, each Management Investor agrees that he will not
effect a Transfer of any Securities prior to the lapse of such period of time
following acquisition thereof as may be required to comply with applicable
state securities laws.
For the purposes of Article VI, the "Permitted Transferees" of a

distributees of the Management Investor or her or his transferees to whom the
Common Stock is Transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution on
account of death, (2) the Management Investor's spouse or children or
grandchildren (in each case, natural or adopted) and (3) a trust the
beneficiaries of which, a corporation the stockholders and directors of which,
or a partnership the limited and general partners of which include only the
Management Investor, her or his spouse or her or his children or grandchildren
(in each case, natural or adopted); provided, that, as a condition to a
Transfer to any Permitted Transferee such Permitted Transferee shall agree, in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
become bound, and thereby shall become bound, by all the terms of this
Agreement applicable to the Management Investor transferring such Securities.
The Termination Date (as hereinafter defined) for a Permitted Transferee shall
be the Termination Date with respect to the Management Investor who first
acquired the Common Stock held by such Permitted Transferee pursuant to this
Agreement.
6.3. Purchase Option.
(a) General Terms. In the event that on or prior to July 29, 1999 as to
the Original Management Investors, or the Third Anniversary as to the New
Management Investors, any Management Investor shall cease to be employed by the
Company due to retirement, resignation or termination by the Company, with
8
or without Cause, such Management Investor (or his transferees, successors or
assigns) shall give prompt notice to the Company of such termination (except in
the case of termination by the Company with or without Cause), and the Company,
or one or more designee(s) selected by a majority of the members of the Board
of Directors, shall have the right and option at any time within 90 days after
the later of the effective date of such termination of employment (the
"Termination Date") or the date of the Company's receipt of the aforesaid
notice, to purchase from such Management Investor, or his transferees,
successors or assigns, as the case may be, any or all of the Securities then
owned by such Management Investor (and his Permitted Transferees) which the
Company then has the right to purchase at the Adjusted Cost Price set forth in
Section 6.3(a)(ii) at a purchase price equal to the Option Purchase Price (as
hereinafter defined). The Company or its designee(s) shall give notice to the
terminated Management Investor (or his transferees, successors or assigns) of
its intention to purchase Securities at any time not later than 90 days after
the Termination Date. (The right of the Company and its designee(s) set forth
in this Section 6.3 to purchase a terminated Management Investor's Securities
is hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Option"). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, upon the death or Permanent Disability of a
Management Investor, the Purchase Option shall terminate immediately and
automatically as to the Securities held by such Management Investor and his
Permitted Transferees which, at the time of such Management Investor's death or
Permanent Disability were subject to the Purchase Option.
(i) Exercise of Purchase Option. The Purchase Option shall be exercised by
written notice to the terminated Management Investor (or his transferees,
successors or assigns) signed by an officer of the Company on behalf of the
Company or by its designee(s), as the case may be. Such notice shall set forth
the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be purchased and shall set
forth a time and place of closing which shall be no earlier than 10 days and no
later than, 60 days after the date such notice is sent. At such closing, the
seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common
Stock to be purchased by the Company and/or its designee(s), accompanied by
stock powers duly endorsed in blank or duly executed instruments of transfer,
and any other documents that are necessary to transfer to the Company and/or
its designee(s) good title to such of the Securities to be transferred, free
and clear of all pledges, security interests, liens, charges, encumbrances,
equities, claims and options of whatever nature other than those imposed under
this Agreement, and concurrently with such delivery, the Company and/or its
designee(s) shall deliver to the seller the full amount of the Option Purchase
Price for such Securities in cash by certified or bank cashier's check.
9
(ii) Option Purchase Price. Subject to Section 6.3(a)(iii) below, if the
Management Investor shall be terminated by the Company with or without Cause or
shall cease to be employed by the Company by reason of retirement or
resignation, the "Option Purchase Price" for the Common Stock to be purchased
from such Management Investor pursuant to the Purchase Option (such number of
shares of Common Stock being the "Purchase Number") shall equal the price
calculated as set forth in the table below opposite the applicable Termination
bate of such Management Investor:
Original Management Investors
If the Termination Occurs: Option Purchase Price
------------------------- ---------------------
On or prior to July 29, 1995 Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by the
Purchase Number
After July 29, 1995 and on or Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by 80% of
prior to July 29, 1996 the Purchase Number
After July 29, 1996 and on or Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by 60% of
prior to July 29, 1997 the Purchase Number
After July 29, 1997 and on or Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by 40% of
prior to July 29, 1998 the Purchase Number
After July 29, 1998 and on or Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by 20% of
prior to July 29, 1999 the Purchase Number
New Management Investors
------------------------
If the Termination Date Occurs: Option Purchase Price
------------------------------ ---------------------
On or prior to the first anniversary Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by the
of the Closing Date Purchase Number
After the first anniversary of the Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by 66 2/3%
Closing Date, and on or prior to of the Purchase Number
the second anniversary of the
Closing Date
10
After the second anniversary of Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by 33 1/3%
the Closing Date, and on or prior of the Purchase Number
to the third anniversary of the
Closing Date
As used herein, "Closing Date" for each New Management Investor means the date
specified opposite such person's respective name on Schedule II hereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection
with the exercise of any Purchase Option pursuant to Section 6.3, the Company
may deduct from the Option Purchase Price paid to any Management Investor the
aggregate amount of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest
due on any Promissory Note of such Management Investor to the Company.
As used herein, "Adjusted Cost Price" for each share of Common Stock means
the original purchase price per share for the Management Investor's Common
Stock as set forth in Section 1.1 (including any shares of Common Stock which
have been converted into other shares of capital stock of the Company, and
adjusted for any stock dividend payable upon, or subdivision or combination of,
the Common Stock);
(iii) Sale in Public Offering. Share sold in a Public Offering will be
sold free of the restrictions contained in this Article VI, but this Article VI
shall continue to apply in accordance with its terms to all Common Stock not
sold in such offering. If less than all of a Management Investor's shares of
Common Stock are sold in such an offering, for purposes of any subsequent
calculation hereunder of the Option Purchase Price, the Option Purchase Price
shall equal the Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by the product of the Adjusted
Cost Price Percentage and the Adjusted Purchase Number (as hereinafter
defined), where: (w) "Adjusted Purchase Number" means the remainder determined
by subtracting the Publicly-Sold Stock from the Purchase Number, (x) "Publicly-
Sold Stock" means the total number of shares of Common Stock previously sold by
the respective Management Investor in a public offering, and (z) "Adjusted Cost
Price Percentage" means (1) 20% multiplied by the number of years elapsed from
July 29, 1994 for the Original Management Investors, and (2) 33 1/3% multiplied
by the number of years elapsed from the "Closing Date" specified on Schedule II
with respect to the respective New Management Investors.
(b) Company's Right of First Refusal. In the event that, on or prior to
July 29, 1999 as to the Original Management Investors, and the Third
Anniversary as to the New Management Investors, (i) a Management Investor is no
longer employed by the Company; (ii) the Company or its designee has declined
to
11
exercise the Purchase Option with respect to any of such Management Investor's
Common Stock; and (iii) the Management Investor thereafter proposes to sell any
or all of such Common Stock to a third party in a bona fide transaction, the
Management Investor may not Transfer such Common Stock without first offering
to sell such Common Stock to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).
The Management Investor shall deliver a written notice (a "Sale Notice")
to the Company describing in reasonable detail the Securities being offered,
the name of the offeree, the purchase price requested and all other material
terms of the proposed Transfer. Upon receipt of the Sale Notice, the Company,
or a designee selected by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board
of Directors of the Company, shall have the right and option to purchase all or
any portion of the Securities being offered at the price and on the terms of
the proposed Transfer set forth in the Sale Notice. Within 30 days after
receipt of the Sale Notice, the Company shall notify such Management Investor
whether or not it wishes to purchase any or all of the offered Securities.
If the Company elects to purchase any of the offered Securities, the
closing of the purchase and sale of such Securities shall be held at the place
and on the date established by the Company in its notice to the Management
Investor in response to the Sale Notice, which in no event shall be less than
10 or more than 60 days from the date of such notice. In the event that the
Company does not elect to purchase all the offered Securities, the Management
Investor may, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Transfer the
remaining offered Securities to the offeree specified in the Sale Notice at a
price no less than the price specified in the Sale Notice and on other terms no
more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice
during the 180-day period immediately following the last date on which the
Company could have elected to purchase the offered Securities. Any such
Securities not transferred within such 180-day period will be subject to the
provisions of this Section 6.3(b) upon subsequent Transfer.
6.4. Involuntary Transfers. In the event that the Securities owned by any
Management Investor shall be subject to sale or other Transfer (the date of
such sale or transfer shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Transfer Date")
on or prior to July 29, 1999 as to the Original Management Investors, and the
Third Anniversary as to the New Management Investors, by reason of (i)
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, or (ii)
distraint, levy, execution or other involuntary Transfer, then such Management
Investor shall give the Company written notice thereof promptly upon the
occurrence of such event stating the terms of such proposed Transfer, the
identity of the proposed transferee, the price or other consideration, if
readily determinable, for which the Securities are proposed to be transferred,
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be transferred. After its receipt
of such notice or, failing such receipt,
12
after the Company otherwise obtains actual knowledge of such a proposed
Transfer, the Company, or a designee selected by a majority of the non-employee
members of the Board of Directors of the Company, shall have the right and
option to purchase all, but not less than all of such Securities which right
shall be exercised by written notice given by the Company to such proposed
transferor within 60 days following the Company's receipt of such notice or,
failing such receipt, the Company's obtaining actual knowledge of such proposed
Transfer. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be at the price and
on the terms applicable to such proposed Transfer. If the nature of the event
giving rise to such involuntary Transfer is such that no readily determinable
consideration is to be paid for the Transfer of the Securities, the price to be
paid by the Company shall be the Option Purchase Price that would have been
applicable hereunder had the Management Investor incurred a Termination Date as
of the date of such proposed Transfer for the Securities. The closing of the
purchase and sale of Securities shall be held at the place and the date to be
established by the Company, which in no event shall be less than 10 or more
than 60 days from the date on which the Company gives notice of its election to
purchase the Securities. At such closing, the Management Investor shall deliver
the certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock to be
purchased by the Company, accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank or
duly executed instruments of transfer, and any other documents that are
necessary to transfer to the Company good title to such of the Securities to be
transferred, free and clear of all pledges, security interests, liens, charges,
encumbrances, equities, claims and options of whatever nature other than those
imposed under this Agreement, and concurrently with such delivery, the Company
shall deliver to the Management Investor the full amount of the purchase price
for such Securities in cash by certified or bank cashier's check.
6.5. [Intentionally omitted]
6.6. Purchaser Representative. If the Company or any Investor enters into
any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in
effect) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act may be available with respect to such, negotiation or
transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), each
Management Investor will, at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser
representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 (h) promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act) reasonably
acceptable to the Company. If any Management Investor appoints the purchaser
representative designated by the Company, the Company will pay the fees of such
purchaser representative, but if any Management Investor declines to appoint
the purchaser representative designated by the Company such Management Investor
will appoint another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to the
Company), and
13
such Management Investor will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser
representative so appointed.
