right, power and authority required to enter into and deliver this Agreement and
the Stockholders Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby; and (iii) this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement have
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Management Stockholder, and

violation or breach of or default under (with or without the giving of notice or
the lapse of time or both), permit any party to terminate, amend or accelerate

party or by which any of its property or assets may be bound or (b) any
provision of any partnership agreement, trust agreement or other organizational

shares of Common Stock under this Agreement for its own account for investment
purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof other than in compliance with the Securities Act and other
applicable securities laws. Such Management Stockholder acknowledges that it
must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Management Shares for an
indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Management Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, such shares
cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. Such Management Stockholder
understands that the Management Shares will be subject to the provisions of a
Stockholders Agreement, which defines certain rights of the stockholders of the
Company and provides certain restrictions on the transferability of the

state and foreign securities laws.

the risks of, and other considerations relating to, its acquisition and
ownership of the Management Shares. Such Management Stockholder has been
provided an opportunity to ask questions of, and has received answers
satisfactory to it from, the Company and its representatives regarding the
Management Shares, and has obtained any and all additional information from the
Company and its representatives that such Management Stockholder deems necessary
regarding the Management Shares.
3.6 Evaluation of and Ability to Bear Risks. Such Management
Stockholder has such knowledge and experience in financial affairs that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and other considerations relating
to, the ownership of the Management Shares, and has not relied in connection
with its acquisition of the Management Shares upon any representations,
warranties or agreements other than those set forth in this Agreement. Such
Management Stockholder's financial situation is such that it can afford to bear
the economic risk of holding the Management Shares for an indefinite period of
time, and such Management Stockholder can afford to suffer the complete loss of
its investment in the Shares.
3.7 No Liabilities in Excess of Tax Basis. Such Management Stock
holder's tax basis in its NB LLC Interests, is equal to or greater than such
Management Stockholder's share of NB LLC's liabilities determined under Section
752 of the Code.
3.8 No Dispositions. No Management Stockholder has any present plan,
intention or arrangement to dispose of any of the Management Shares to be
received by such Management Stockholder except as described in any registration
statement on Form S-1 to be filed by the Company in respect of an initial public
offering of its shares. For purposes of this Section 3.8, a disposition shall
include a Transfer and shall include any other transaction (including, without
limitation, a short-sale-against-the-box, forward sale, equity swap or other
derivative contract) which transfers a substantial portion of the opportunity
for gain and risk of loss with respect to such Management Shares to a person who
was not a Management Stockholder immediately prior to the date hereof.
