3. TRANSFERS OF SECURITIES
3.1 Restrictions on Transfers
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.1 or Section 3.2,
the M/C Stockholders hereby agree that until the Expiration Date, the M/C
Stockholders will not offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, ("Transfer"), any
equity securities of the Company or any other securities convertible into or

M/C Stockholders as a result of the Merger (including distributions of
Securities with respect to such Securities and Securities acquired as a result
of a stock split with respect to such Securities) without submitting a written
request to, and receiving the prior written consent of, the Board of Directors;
provided, however, that the M/C Stockholders may transfer Securities to any
-------- -------
beneficial owner or Affiliate of the M/C Stockholders, in each case provided
that (i) such transfer is done in accordance with the transfer restrictions
applicable to such Securities under federal and state securities laws and (ii)
the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof (as this Agreement may be
amended or amended and restated from time to time) as an M/C Stockholder with
respect to the shares being transferred pursuant to this Section (any such M/C
Stockholder transferee pursuant to the foregoing proviso, an "M/C Stockholder
Permitted Transferee"), and any such transfer shall not constitute a "Transfer"
for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto
shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement by making one or more transfers to
one or more M/C Stockholder Permitted Transferees and then at any time directly
or indirectly disposing of all or any portion of such party's interest in any
such M/C Stockholder Permitted Transferee. In the event that the Board of
Directors consents to any Transfer of Securities by a Principal Stockholder (for
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Principal Stockholder" shall have the same
meaning as ascribed to such term in the Third Amended and Restated November 1998
Stockholders' Agreement) pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Third Amended and
Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement upon the written request of such
Principal Stockholder (the "Transferring Principal Stockholder") and except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the M/C
Stockholders shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(a), have
the right to Transfer a percentage of the total number of Securities
beneficially owned by the M/C Stockholders equal to the percentage of the total
number of Securities beneficially owned by the Transferring Principal
Stockholder that the Board of
-6-
Directors has consented may be Transferred by such Transferring Principal
Stockholder. In the event the Board of Directors consents to any Transfer of
Securities by the M/C Stockholders pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) upon the
written request of the M/C Stockholders (the "Transferring M/C Stockholders"),
and except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.2 of the Third
Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement, each Principal
Stockholder shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1(a) of the Third
Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement, have the right to
Transfer a percentage of the total number of Securities beneficially owned by
such Principal Stockholder equal to the percentage of the total number of
Securities beneficially owned by the Transferring M/C Stockholders that the
Board of Directors has consented may be Transferred by such Transferring M/C
Stockholders.
(b) In addition to the provisions of Section 3.1(a), for the period
commencing for the quarter ending March 31, 2000 and ending on the Expiration
Date, the Board shall determine prior to the public release of the Company's
consolidated financial results with respect to each such financial reporting
quarter during such period, the aggregate number, if any, of shares of Class A
Common Stock (not to exceed in the aggregate one hundred thousand (100,000)
shares of Class A Common Stock per quarter, subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 5.1) that may be Transferred by the M/C Stockholders (the "Transfer
Amount") during the period commencing on the third (3rd) business day and ending
on the twenty-third (23rd) business day following such public release of the
Company's quarterly or annual financial results or such other trading period
designated or permitted by the Board with respect to the purchase and sale of
its Securities (each such period, a "Transfer Period"). Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.1(a), the M/C Stockholders shall be entitled to Transfer
during each Transfer Period, provided such Transfer is effected in accordance
with all applicable federal and state securities laws, a number of shares of
Class A Common Stock equal to the Transfer Amount, if any, for such Transfer
Period. In no event shall any portion of a Transfer Amount that is not utilized
by the M/C Stockholders during a Transfer Period be reallocated or otherwise
credited to any subsequent Transfer Periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.1(b), to the extent that the Company permits the
Principal Stockholders the opportunity to Transfer shares of Class A Common
Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Third Amended and Restated November 1998
Stockholders' Agreement, the Company shall grant the M/C Stockholders the
opportunity to Transfer on the same terms and conditions a number of shares of
Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares which each Principal
Stockholder is entitled to Transfer pursuant to such Section 3.1(b), without
considering those provisions of Section 3.1(b) of the Third Amended and Restated
November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement relating to the reallocation of amounts
among the Principal Stockholders. To the extent the Board determines a Transfer
Amount with respect to the M/C Stockholders for any particular quarter pursuant
to this Section 3.1(b), the Board shall determine an equal Transfer Amount for
such quarter with respect to each Principal Stockholder pursuant to
-7-
Section 3.1(b) of the Third Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders'
Agreement.
(c) For the period commencing for the quarter ending March 31, 2000
and ending on the Expiration Date, the Company shall give the M/C Stockholders
prompt written notice (in any event no later than fifty (50) days prior to the
beginning of the applicable Transfer Period) of its determination of any
Transfer Amount. Within seven (7) days of receipt of such notice, the M/C
Stockholders shall provide written notice to the Company of the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock that the M/C Stockholders desire to Transfer pursuant to
Section 3.1(b).
(d) For purposes of this Section 3.1, the M/C Stockholders shall be
deemed to be a single stockholder of the Company, the McLeods shall be deemed to
be a single Principal Stockholder of the Company, Xxxxxxx and all of the
Principal CCI Shareholders shall be deemed to be a single Principal Stockholder
of the Company and the AEC Entities shall be deemed to be a single Principal
Stockholder of the Company.

(a) In the event that the Board of Directors consents pursuant to
Section 3.1(a) of the Third Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders'
Agreement to a Principal Stockholder's request for a Transfer and in connection
therewith, the Company agrees to register Securities with respect to such
Transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
the Company shall grant the M/C Stockholders the opportunity (subject to
reduction in the event the registered Transfer is underwritten) to register for
Transfer under the Securities Act a percentage of the total number of Securities
beneficially owned by the M/C Stockholders equal to the percentage of the total
number of Securities beneficially owned by the Transferring Principal
Stockholder that such Transferring Principal Stockholder is registering for
Transfer under the Securities Act, on the same terms and conditions as the
Transferring Principal Stockholder. In the event that the Board of Directors
consents pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement to the M/C Stockholders'
request for a Transfer, and in connection therewith the Company agrees to
register Securities with respect to such Transfer under the Securities Act, the
Company shall grant each Principal Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the
Third Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement the opportunity
(subject to reduction in the event the registered Transfer is underwritten) to
register for Transfer under the Securities Act a percentage of the total number
of Securities beneficially owned by such Principal Stockholder equal to the
percentage of the total number of Securities beneficially owned by the
Transferring M/C Stockholders that such Transferring M/C Stockholders are
registering under the Securities Act, on the same terms and conditions as the
Transferring M/C Stockholders.
-8-
(b) To the extent that the Company grants pursuant to Section 3.1(b)
of the Third Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement a
Principal Stockholder the opportunity to register shares of Class A Common Stock
for Transfer under the Securities Act, the Company shall grant the M/C
Stockholders the opportunity (subject to reduction in the event the registered
Transfer is underwritten) to register an equal number of shares of Class A
Common Stock for Transfer under the Securities Act on the same terms and
conditions, without considering those provisions of Section 3.1(b) of the Third
Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement relating to the
reallocation of amounts among the Principal Stockholders. To the extent that
the Company grants pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement the M/C
Stockholders the opportunity to register shares of Class A Common Stock for
Transfer under the Securities Act, the Company shall grant each Principal
Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Third Amended and Restated
November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement the opportunity (subject to reduction in
the event the registered Transfer is underwritten) to register an equal number
of shares of Class A Common Stock for Transfer under the Securities Act on the
same terms and conditions.
(c) In the event the Company proposes to register any shares of Class
A Common Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to an underwritten primary
offering (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-
8 or any successor forms thereto or other form which would not permit the
inclusion of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the M/C Stockholders), the
Company, as determined by the Board of Directors, shall give written notice to
the M/C Stockholders of its intention to effect such a registration. Following
any such notice, the Board of Directors shall undertake to determine the
aggregate number, if any, of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the M/C
Stockholders (not to exceed in the aggregate on a per year basis a number of
shares of Class A Common Stock equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total
number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the M/C
Stockholders as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in
connection with the consummation of the Merger, subject to appropriate and
proportionate adjustment as a result of the Stock Split and subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 5.1) to be registered by the Company under the
Securities Act (the "Registrable Amount") for Transfer by the M/C Stockholders
in connection with such offering during such period. If the Board determines to
register shares of Class A Common Stock held by the M/C Stockholders pursuant to
this Section 3.2(c), the Company will promptly give written notice of such
determination to the M/C Stockholders, and thereupon the Company will use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of that portion of
the Registrable Amount that the M/C Stockholders indicate a desire to register.
All terms, conditions and rights with respect to such registration (including
but not limited to any determination to reduce the Registrable Amount) shall be
determined by the Board, provided that (i) the representations and warranties of
the M/C Stockholders shall be customary taking into account, among other things,
the nature of the offering and the M/C Stockholders' relationship with
-9-
the Company, and (ii) the Company shall be responsible for all expenses with
respect to such registration other than underwriting discounts and commissions
allocable to the Class A Common Stock of the M/C Stockholders, which
underwriting discounts and commissions shall be the responsibility of the M/C
Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2(c),
to the extent that the Company grants pursuant to Section 3.2(c) of the Third
Amended and Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement the Principal
Stockholders the opportunity to register shares of Class A Common Stock for
Transfer under the Securities Act, the Company shall grant the M/C Stockholders
the opportunity to register shares of Class A Common Stock on a substantially
similar basis. To the extent that the Company grants pursuant to Section 3.2(c)
of this Agreement the M/C Stockholders the opportunity to register shares of
Class A Common Stock for Transfer under the Securities Act, the Company shall
grant each Principal Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.2(c) of the Third Amended
and Restated November 1998 Stockholders' Agreement the opportunity to register
shares of Class A Common Stock on a substantially similar basis.
(d) In addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to
Sections 3.2(a), (b) and (c), no more frequently than once during each of the
calendar years ending December 31, 2000 and 2001 (each such year, an "Annual
Period"), and upon either (i) the receipt of a written request of the M/C
Stockholders or (ii) a determination by the Board of Directors, the Board shall
undertake to determine the Registrable Amount, if any, for Transfer by the M/C
Stockholders. If the Board determines to register shares of Class A Common
Stock held by the M/C Stockholders pursuant to this Section 3.2(d), the Company
will promptly give written notice of such determination to the M/C Stockholders,
and thereupon the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
registration of that portion of the Registrable Amount that the M/C Stockholders
indicate a desire to register. All terms, conditions and rights with respect to
such registration (including but not limited to any determination to reduce the
Registrable Amount) shall be determined by the Board, provided that (i) the
representations and warranties of the M/C Stockholders shall be customary taking
into account, among other things, the nature of the offering and the M/C
Stockholders' relationship with the Company, and (ii) the Company shall be
responsible for all expenses with respect to such registration other than
underwriting discounts and commissions allocable to the Class A Common Stock of
the M/C Stockholders, which underwriting discounts and commissions shall be the
responsibility of the M/C Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.2(d), to the extent that the Company grants
pursuant to Section 3.2(d) of the Third Amended and Restated November 1998
Stockholders' Agreement the Principal Stockholders the opportunity to register
shares of Class A Common Stock for Transfer under the Securities Act, the
Company shall grant the M/C Stockholders the opportunity to register shares of
Class A Common Stock on a substantially similar basis. To the extent that the
Company grants pursuant to Section 3.2(d) of this Agreement the M/C Stockholders
the opportunity to register shares of Class A Common Stock for

Transfer under the Securities Act, the Company shall grant each Principal
Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.2(d) of the Third Amended and Restated

be a single Principal Stockholder of the Company, Xxxxxxx and all of the
Principal CCI Shareholders shall be deemed to be a single Principal Stockholder
of the Company and the AEC Entities shall be deemed to be a single Principal

pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Company may subsequently determine not to
register such Securities and may either not file a registration statement or
otherwise withdraw or abandon a registration statement previously filed with
respect to the registration of such Securities; provided that to the extent the
Principal Stockholders are also participating in such registration, the M/C
Stockholders and the Principal Stockholders will be treated on a substantially
similar basis with respect to any such determination not to register Securities
or the withdrawal or abandonment of a registration statement previously filed as
contemplated by this Section 3.2(f).
