ARTICLE I
PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE UNITS
1.1 Vesting of Carried Common Units. Carried Common Units which have
become vested, together with all of the Co-Invest Common Units, are referred to
herein as "Vested Common Units" and all other Carried Common Units are referred
to herein as "Unvested Common Units." In addition to any vesting requirements in
respect of the Carried Common Units contained in the Management Contribution
Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of (i) any Significant Sale of
equity securities which results in any person, or group of related persons not
affiliated with GTCR owning equity securities of Holdings possessing the power
to elect (without reference to any special or default voting rights) a majority
of the members of the Holdings Board (a "Change of Control"), or (ii) a sale of
all or substantially all of Holdings' assets, all Unvested Common Units will
become Vested Common Units. In addition, if Executive's employment with either
CSC or the Company is terminated (i) by the CSC Board (in the case of employment
with CSC) or the Coinmach Board (in the case of employment with the Company)
without Cause, or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, and in each case no CSC
Event of Default (in the case of termination of employment with CSC) or Company
Event of Default (in the case of termination of employment with the Company) has
occurred and is continuing, all Unvested Common Units will become Vested Common
Units.
1.2 Put Option.
(a) Upon the consummation of a Qualified Disposition, Executive shall have
the right to require that Holdings repurchase up to 50% of each class of
Executive Units, pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.2(a) (the "Qualified
Disposition Put Option"). The purchase price for each Common Unit pursuant to
the Qualified Disposition Put Option shall be the price per Unit paid to GTCR in
connection with the Qualified Disposition, and the purchase price for each
Preferred Unit pursuant to the Qualified Disposition Put Option shall be the
lesser of (i) the liquidation value of such Unit (plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon) and (ii) the price per Unit of such class paid to GTCR in
connection with the Qualified Disposition. Within 30 days after the date of the
Qualified Disposition, Holdings shall notify Executive of the occurrence of such
event and Executive may elect to exercise the Qualified Disposition Put Option
by giving written notice to Holdings of such election, setting forth the number
of Common Units and/or Preferred Units to be repurchased by Holdings, within 15
days after the date of delivery of Holdings' notice to Executive. In the event
of the exercise of a Qualified Disposition Put Option, CSC and the Company will,
subject to the terms of any of their then outstanding indebtedness be jointly
and severally obligated to transfer to Holdings an amount of money at least
equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Executive Units subject to the
Qualified Disposition Put Option, in order that Holdings can satisfy its
obligations under such Qualified Disposition Put Option. The closing of the
repurchase pursuant to the Qualified Disposition Put Option shall take place on
a date designated by Holdings, but in any event not later than 270 days after
the date of the Qualified Disposition. At such closing, Executive shall
-2-
deliver to Holdings the certificates representing the Common Units and/or
Preferred Units to be repurchased by Holdings, and, subject to Section 1.6
hereof, Holdings shall deliver to Executive the purchase price for such Units by
cashier's or certified check or wire transfer.
(b)Upon the termination of Executive's employment hereunder (i) by
the Coinmach Board (in the case of employment with the Company) or by the
CSC Board (in the case of employment with CSC), in each case without
Cause, or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall have the
right to require that Holdings repurchase all Units of each class of
Executive Units held by Executive pursuant to the terms of this Section
1.2(b) (the "Termination Put Option"), and in the event the Termination
Put Option is exercised, CSC and the Company will be jointly and severally
obligated to transfer to Holdings an amount of money at least equal to the
aggregate purchase price of the Executive Units subject to the Termination
Put Option, in order that Holdings can satisfy its obligations under such
Termination Put Option; provided, however, that Holdings shall only be
obligated to repurchase Executive's Executive Units pursuant to the
Termination Put Option at such time as the CSC Board, in its good faith
judgment, determines that the Company and/or CSC (as the case may be) has
sufficient assets to repurchase Executive's Executive Units without a
material negative impact on CSC's and/or the Company's working capital or
liquidity (taking into account any reasonably foreseeable acquisitions or
capital expenditures of such parties). The purchase price for each
Executive Unit pursuant to the Termination Put Option shall be the Fair
Market Value thereof on the Date of Termination. Within 30 days after the
Date of Termination as described in subsections (i) and (ii) above,
Executive may elect to exercise the Termination Put Option by giving
written notice to Holdings of such election, setting forth the number of
Executive Units to be repurchased by Holdings. The closing of the
repurchase pursuant to the Termination Put Option shall take place on a
date designated by Holdings, but in any event not later than 15 days after
the date of receipt of Executive's written notice of election to exercise
the Termination Put Option. At such closing, Executive shall deliver to
Holdings the certificates representing the Executive Units to be
repurchased by Holdings, and, subject to Section 1.6 hereof, Holdings
shall deliver to Executive the purchase price for such Units by cashier's
or certified check or wire transfer.
1.3 Repurchase Option.
(a) In the event Executive violates Section 2.3(a) of this Agreement (a
"Noncompete Breach"), or in the event Executive's employment by CSC and its
Subsidiaries (including but not limited to the Company) terminates for any
reason (a "Termination"), the Executive Units (whether held by Executive or one
or more of Executive's transferees, other than Holdings or GTCR) will be subject
to repurchase by Holdings first, the Other Senior Managers second and the
Investors third pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
1.3 (the "Repurchase Option").
(b) If the Repurchase Option becomes exercisable because of a Noncompete
Breach or a Termination resulting from CSC's or the Company's termination of
Executive's employment for Cause, then, the purchase price for each Executive
Unit will be the lower of (i) Executive's Original Cost for such Unit and (ii)
the Fair Market Value of such Unit on the Date of Termination. If Executive's
employment terminates other than as described in the preceding sentence, the
purchase price for each (y) Executive Unit (other than an Unvested Common Unit)
-3-
shall be the Fair Market Value of such Unit and (z) Unvested Common Unit shall
be Executive's Original Cost for such Unit, in each instance as of the date of
the related Repurchase Notice or Investor Notice (as hereinafter defined), as
the case may be.
(c) Holdings may, at the option of the Holdings Board, elect to purchase
all or any portion of the Executive Units from time to time by delivering
written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to the Other Senior Managers, the
Investors and the holder or holders of such Executive Units from time to time
during the 180 days after the Noncompete Breach or Termination, as the case may
be. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Executive Units,
including the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Common Units, to be
acquired from the recipient holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for
such Units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction.
(d) If for any reason Holdings has not elected to purchase all of the
Executive Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option, the Other Senior Managers
shall be entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for any or all of the
Executive Units, including the Unvested Common Units and the Vested Common
Units, Holdings has not elected to purchase (the "Available Units"), by giving
written notice to Holdings and the holder(s) of the Available Units to be
repurchased during the 30 days after the date of delivery to the Other Senior
Managers of the Repurchase Notice (the "Management Repurchase Notice") setting
forth the number of Available Units each Other Senior Manager is willing to
purchase. If the Other Senior Managers elect to purchase an aggregate number of
Units greater than the number of Available Units, the Available Units shall be
allocated among the Other Senior Managers pro rata based on the number of Common
Units owned by each Other Senior Manager on a Fully Diluted Basis. As soon as
practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day
period set forth above, Holdings shall notify the holder(s) of the Available
Units and the Investors as to the number of Units being purchased from such
holder(s) by the Other Senior Managers (the "Supplemental Management Repurchase
Notice"). At the time Holdings delivers the Supplemental Management Repurchase
Notice to the holder(s) of the Available Units, Holdings shall also deliver
written notice to each Other Senior Manager and the Investors setting forth the
number of Units such Other Senior Manager is entitled to purchase, the aggregate
purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction and, in
the notice to the Investors, a statement of the number, type and purchase price
of Available Units available for purchase by the Investors.
(e) If for any reason the Other Senior Managers have elected not to
purchase any or all of the Available Units pursuant to Section 1.3(d) above, the
Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Units not purchased
by the Other Senior Managers by giving written notice to Holdings and the
holder(s) of the Available Units to be repurchased within 30 days after the date
of delivery to the Investors of the Supplemental Management Repurchase Notice
(the "Investor Repurchase Notice") setting forth the number of Available Units
the Investors are willing to purchase. If the Investors elect to purchase an
aggregate number greater than the number of Available Units, the Available Units
shall be allocated among the Investors pro rata based upon the number of Common
Units owned by each Investor on a Fully Diluted Basis. As soon as practicable,
and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set
forth above, Holdings shall notify each holder of Available Units as to the
number of Units being purchased from such holder by the Investors (the
"Supplemental Investor Repurchase Notice"). At the time Holdings delivers the
Supplemental Investor Repurchase Notice to the holder(s) of
-4-
Available Units, Holdings shall also deliver written notice to each Investor
setting forth the number of Units such Investor is entitled to purchase, the
aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the
transaction.
(f) Each closing of the purchase of the Executive Units pursuant to the
Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by Holdings, the Other
Senior Managers or the Investors in the related Repurchase Notice, Management
Repurchase Notice, or Investor Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, but in any
event not later than 270 days after the date of the Noncompete Breach or
Termination. At such closing, Executive shall deliver to Holdings, the Other
Senior Managers and/or the Investors, certificates representing the Executive
Units to be repurchased by Holdings, the Other Senior Managers and/or the
Investors, and Holdings, the Other Senior Managers, and/or the Investors, as the
case may be, will pay for the Executive Units to be purchased pursuant to the
Repurchase Option, subject to Section 1.6 hereof and the terms below, on the
date of the closing of the Repurchase Option.
(g) Any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be payable, at the
option of Holdings, in cash, by check or with Class A Preferred Units; provided,
that if Holdings elects to pay Executive with Class A Preferred Units, upon the
request of Holdings, Executive shall enter into documentation with Holdings with
respect to the issuance of such Class A Preferred Units on terms and conditions
reasonably acceptable to Holdings. In addition, Holdings may pay the total
purchase price for such Units by offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona
fide debts owed by Executive to Holdings. Holdings, the Other Senior Managers
and the Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and
warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers'
signatures be guaranteed.
(h) If within six months following the repurchase of Executive Units
pursuant to the Repurchase Option under this Section 1.3, (i) a Significant Sale
or a Public Offering occurs and (ii) the amount received by Executive for Vested
Common Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option is less than the amount that
Executive would have received for such Vested Common Units had Holdings not
repurchased such Vested Common Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option and had
Executive disposed of such Vested Common Units (or such other securities into
which such Vested Common Units may have been exchanged or converted) pursuant to
such Significant Sale or Public Offering, then Executive shall be entitled to
receive the benefit of such higher valuation for the Vested Common Units sold
under the Repurchase Option. Subject to Section 1.6 hereof, the excess of (x)
the amount which Executive would have received in such Significant Sale or
Public Offering assuming the sale of his Vested Common Units purchased by
exercise of the Repurchase Option in connection with such transaction, over (y)
the purchase price of the Vested Common Units paid to Executive under the
Repurchase Option (the "Excess"), shall be paid by Holdings (or any designee of
Holdings) to Executive by wire transfer of immediately available funds (to such
account designated in writing by Executive) promptly upon consummation of any
such transaction; provided, however, if (i) the repurchase of Executive Units
under this Section 1.3 was paid by Holdings with Class A Preferred Units and in
connection with a Significant Sale the holders of Class A Preferred Units
received consideration other than cash in exchange for such Class A Preferred
Units, then Holdings may pay the Excess to Executive in the same form of
consideration which the holders of Class A Preferred Units received in such
Significant Sale, or (ii) the repurchase of Executive Units under this Section
1.3 was paid by Holdings with Class A Preferred Units and in connection with a
Public Offering the
-5-
Class A Preferred Units were converted into common stock or another form of
equity security, then Holdings may pay the Excess to Executive in the form of
common stock or such other equity security into which the Class A Preferred
Units were converted in connection with such Public Offering; provided, further,
if the repurchase of Executive Units under this Section 1.3 was paid by Holdings
with Class A Preferred Units and at the time of the Significant Sale or the
Public Offering there were no issued and outstanding Class A Preferred Units
other than Class A Preferred Units held by Executive, then Executive shall be
paid the Excess by Holdings (or any designee of Holdings), at the option of
Holdings, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (to such account
designated in writing by Executive) or in the form of compensation received by
the holders of Common Units, in either case promptly upon consummation of any
such transaction.
(i)In the event Holdings elects to repurchase Executive Units
pursuant to this Section 1.3, CSC and the Company will be jointly and
severally obligated to transfer to Holdings an amount of money at least
equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Executive Units subject to
such repurchase, in order that Holdings can complete such repurchase in
accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3.
1.4 Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Transfer of Executive Units. Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, offer or otherwise dispose of any
interest in any Executive Units (a "Transfer") except pursuant to (i) Section
1.2, Section 1.3, Section 1.4(c), Section 1.4(d) or Section 1.4(e) hereof, (ii)
Section 3(a) (participation rights), Section 3(c) (permitted transfers) and
Section 5 (sale of the company) of the Securityholders Agreement, or (iii) a
Public Sale (clauses (i) through (iii) collectively referred to herein as
"Exempt Transfers"). Prior to effecting any Transfer of Executive Units (other
than (y) to Holdings, to any Other Senior Manager or to the Investors or (z) in
connection with a Public Sale or Significant Sale), Executive shall obtain from
each transferee their written agreement to be bound by the provisions of Section
1.4 of this Agreement for the benefit of Holdings, the Other Senior Managers and
the Investors.
(b) Sale Notice. Prior to making any Transfer (other than an Exempt
Transfer), Executive will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to Holdings,
the Other Senior Managers and the Investors. The Sale Notice will disclose in
reasonable detail the number of Units to be transferred and the terms and
conditions of the proposed Transfer and, if known, the identity of the
prospective transferee(s). Executive will not consummate any such Transfer until
90 days after the Sale Notice has been given to Holdings, the Other Senior
Managers and the Investors, unless the parties to the Transfer have been fully
determined pursuant to this Section 1.4(b), Section 1.4(c) and Section 1.4(d)
prior to the expiration of such 90-day period. (The date of the first to occur
of such events is referred to herein as the "Authorization Date").
(c)First Refusal Rights. Holdings may elect to purchase all (but not
less than all) of the Executive Units to be Transferred upon the same
terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Executive, each Other Senior Manager
and each Investor within 30 days after the Sale Notice has been given to
Holdings. In the event Holdings elects to repurchase Executive Units
pursuant to this Section 1.4(c), CSC and the Company will be jointly and
severally obligated to transfer to
-6-
Holdings an amount of money at least equal to the aggregate purchase price
of the Executive Units subject to such repurchase, in order that Holdings
can complete such repurchase in accordance with the terms of this Section
1.4(c). If Holdings has not elected to purchase all of the Executive Units
to be Transferred, the Other Senior Managers may elect to purchase all
(but not less than all) of the Executive Units to be Transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving
written notice of such election to Executive, Holdings and the Investors
within 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Other Senior
Managers. The Other Senior Managers' rights hereunder shall be allocated
among the Other Senior Managers pro rata based on the number of Common
Units owned by each Other Senior Manager on a Fully Diluted Basis. If
Holdings and the Other Senior Managers have not elected to purchase all of
the Executive Units to be Transferred, the Investors may elect to purchase
all (but not less than all) of the Executive Units to be Transferred upon
the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by
giving written notice of such election to Executive, Holdings and each
Other Senior Manager within 90 days after the Sale Notice has been given
to the Investors. If Holdings, the Other Senior Managers or the Investors
do not elect to purchase all of the Executive Units specified in the Sale
Notice, Executive may Transfer the Executive Units specified in the Sale
Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s)
thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 30-day period
immediately following the Authorization Date. Any Executive Units not
Transferred within such 30-day period will be subject to the provisions of
this Section 1.4(c) upon subsequent Transfer.
(d) Co-Sale Rights. The Investors may elect to participate in the
contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice to Executive within 90 days
after delivery of the Sale Notice to the Investors. If any of the Investors
(each a "Participating Investor") have elected to participate in such Transfer,
and any of the Units specified in the Sale Notice are Common Units, Executive
and the Participating Investors shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated
Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a number of Common Units
equal to the product of (x) the quotient determined by dividing the percentage
of Common Units owned by such Person by the aggregate percentage of Common Units
owned by Executive and all Participating Investors and (y) the number of Common
Units to be sold in the contemplated Transfer.
For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 Common Units by
Executive, and if Executive was at such time the owner of 30% of Holdings'
outstanding Common Units (on a fully-diluted basis) and if one
Participating Investor elects to participate and such Participating
Investor owns 20% of Holdings' outstanding Common Units (on a
fully-diluted basis), Executive would be entitled to sell 60 Common Units
((30% / 50%) x 100 Units) and the Participating Investor would be
entitled to sell 40 Common Units ((20% / 50%) x 100 Units).
If any of the Executive Units specified in the Sale Notice consist of Class C
Preferred Units, Executive and the Participating Investors shall be entitled to
sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a
number of Class C Preferred Units equal to the aggregate number of Class C
Preferred Units to be Transferred multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Class C Unreturned Capital plus the Class C Unpaid Yield of all
Class C Preferred Units held by such Person and the denominator of which is the
aggregate Class C
-7-
Unreturned Capital plus the Class C Unpaid Yield of all Class C Preferred Units
held by Executive and the Participating Investors.
For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 Class C
Preferred Units by Executive, and if the Class C Unreturned Capital plus
the Class C Unpaid Yield on all Class C Preferred Units held by Executive
was at such time $1,080,000, and if one Participating Investor elects to
participate and the Class C Unreturned Capital plus the Class C Unpaid
Yield on all Class C Preferred Units held by such Participating Investor
was at such time $2,160,000, Executive would be entitled to sell 33 1/3
Class C Preferred Units ((1,080,000 / 3,240,000) x 100 Units) and the
Participating Investor would be entitled to sell 66 2/3 Class C Preferred
Units ((2,160,000 / 3,240,000) x 100 Units).
Executive will use his best efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective
transferee(s) to the participation of the Investors in the contemplated Transfer
and will not Transfer any Executive Units to the prospective transferee(s) if
such transferee(s) refuse(s) to allow the participation of the Investors.
(e) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this Section 1.4
shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Executive Units pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution or among (i) Executive and (ii)
Executive's Family Members; provided that such restrictions will continue to be
applicable to the Executive Units after any such Transfer and the transferees of
such Executive Units have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement.
(f) Legend. The certificates representing the Executive Units will 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 (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, CERTAIN REPURCHASE OPTIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER
AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG
COINMACH SERVICE CORP. ("COINMACH"), COINMACH CORPORATION, COINMACH
HOLDINGS, LLC AND XXXXXX X. XXXXX, DATED , 2004. COINMACH MAY REQUEST A
WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL (FROM COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO COINMACH)
SATISFACTORY TO COINMACH, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH SALE, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION, OR OTHER TRANSFER.
A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT COINMACH'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF
BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE."
1.5 Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, payments (including, but not limited to, in the
form of securities) to be made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be
made only to the extent permitted by the financing
-8-
arrangements of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in effect at the time such
payments are required to be made; provided, however, such payments shall be made
at such time that they are permitted to be made by such financing arrangements.
1.6 Opinion. In connection with the Transfer of any Executive Units (other
than an Exempt Transfer or in connection with a Significant Sale), the holder
thereof shall deliver written notice to Holdings describing in reasonable detail
the Transfer or proposed Transfer, which, if requested by Holdings, shall be
accompanied by an opinion of counsel which (to Holdings' reasonable
satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to the effect that such
Transfer of Executive Units may be effected without registration of such
Executive Units under the Securities Act. In addition, if the holder of the
Executive Units delivers to Holdings an opinion of counsel that no subsequent
Transfer of such Executive Units shall require registration under the Securities
Act, Holdings shall promptly upon such contemplated Transfer deliver new
certificates for such Executive Units which do not bear the Securities Act
legend set forth in Section 1.4(f) (but which may bear any applicable
contractual restrictions on Transfer).

State in the United States or any Province in Canada in which Executive has
spent a significant amount of time on behalf of the Coinmach Group at any time
during the twelve-month period prior to the Date of Termination. The
restrictions of this Section 2.3(a) shall not apply to Executive's ownership
interests in not more than three laundromats at any one time.
(b) Nonsolicitation. During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not
directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce
any employee of the Coinmach Group to leave the employ of the Coinmach Group, or
in any way interfere with the relationship between the Coinmach Group and any

doing business with the Coinmach Group, or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation
and the Coinmach Group.
(c) Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 2.2 or Section
2.3 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that
the maximum duration, scope and geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope and area and
that the court shall be allowed to reduce the restrictions contained herein to
cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law.
(d) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (i) submits to
the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York, New York in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (ii)
agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard or
determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.

of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other
security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each
party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall
be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.
(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions
of Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 are in consideration of: (i) employment with CSC
and the Company, and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration as set
forth in this Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Section 2.2 and this Section 2.3 do not preclude
Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations
on Executive's ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive acknowledges (i)
that the business of CSC and the Company and their respective Subsidiaries will
be national in scope and without geographical limitation, (ii) notwithstanding
the state of incorporation or principal office of CSC or the Company or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, or any of their respective executives or
employees (including Executive), it is expected that CSC and the Company will
have business activities and have valuable business relationships within its
industry throughout the United States, and (iii) as part of Executive's
responsibilities, Executive will be traveling around the United States in
furtherance of CSC's and the Company's business and its relationships. Executive
agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to CSC and the Company of the
non-enforcement of Section 2.2 and this Section 2.3 outweighs any potential harm
to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive
acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful
consideration to the restraints imposed upon him by this Agreement, and is in
full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of
confidential and proprietary information of CSC and the Company now existing or
to be developed in the future. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that
each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to
subject matter, time period and geographical area.

3.3 General Provisions.
(a) Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any Executive Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement
shall be void, and Holdings shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat
any purported transferee of such Executive Units as the owner of such equity for
any purpose.
(b) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
(c) Complete Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred
to herein and other documents of even date herewith (i) embody the complete
agreement and understanding among the parties, (ii) supersede and preempt any
prior summaries of terms and conditions, understandings, agreements or
representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related
to the subject matter hereof in any way (except for any indemnity agreement that
may be or may have been entered into by and between Executive and CSC), and
(iii) terminate and cancel the Existing Employment Agreement.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts
(including by means of telecopied signature pages), each of which is deemed to
be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same
agreement.
(e) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall bind Executive, Holdings, CSC and the Company and their
respective successors and permitted assigns and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Executive, Holdings, CSC,
-23-
the Company, GTCR, the Investors and each of their respective successors and
permitted assigns (including in each case subsequent holders of Executive
Units); provided that Executive may not assign any of his rights under any
provision of Article I of this Agreement except as part of a Transfer of
Executive Units in accordance with (i) Section 1.3 and Section 1.4 of this
Agreement, and (ii) Section 3(a) (participation rights) and Section 3(c)
(permitted transfers) of the Securityholders Agreement.
(f) Choice of Law. The limited liability company law of the State of
Delaware will govern all questions concerning the relative rights of Holdings
and its securityholders. All other questions concerning the construction,
validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits hereto will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of Delaware.
(g) Remedies. Each of the parties to this Agreement (including the
Investors) will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement,
specifically, to recover damages and costs (including attorney's fees) caused by
any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights
existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money
damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this
Agreement and, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(d), that any party
may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent
jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance
and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of
the provisions of this Agreement.
(h) Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or modified only by written
agreement of CSC, the Company and Executive. No other course of dealing between
the parties or third-party beneficiaries hereof or any delay in exercising any
rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any such holders.
(i) Survival Upon Termination. Notwithstanding a Termination, this
Agreement (excluding Sections 2.1(a) and (b)) shall survive and continue in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms.
(j) Business Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action
hereunder expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday in the state
in which CSC's chief executive office is located, the time period shall be
automatically extended to the business day immediately following such Saturday,
Sunday or holiday.
(k) Indemnification and Reimbursement of Payments on Behalf of Executive.
CSC, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct
or withhold from any amounts owing from CSC, the Company or any of their
respective Subsidiaries to Executive, any federal, state, local or foreign
withholding taxes, excise taxes, or employment taxes ("Taxes") imposed with
respect to Executive's compensation or other payments from CSC, the Company or
any of their respective Subsidiaries or Executive's ownership interest in
Holdings, including, without limitation, wages, bonuses, dividends, the receipt
or exercise of equity options and/or the
-24-
receipt or vesting of restricted equity. In the event CSC, the Company or their
respective Subsidiaries do not make such deductions or withholdings, Executive
shall indemnify CSC, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries for any
amounts paid with respect to any such Taxes.
(l) Deemed Transfer of Executive Units. If Holdings (and/or the Investors
and/or any other Person acquiring securities) shall make available, at the time
and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the
consideration for the Executive Units to be repurchased in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the Person from
whom such Units are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a
holder of such Units (other than the right to receive payment of such
consideration in accordance with this Agreement), and such Units shall be deemed
purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and Holdings
(and/or the Investors and/or any other Person acquiring securities) shall be
deemed the owner and holder of such Units, whether or not the certificates
therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.
(m) Rights Granted to GTCR and Other Investors and Their Affiliates. Any
rights granted to GTCR and other Investors and their Affiliates hereunder may
also be exercised (in whole or in part) by any Affiliate thereof.
