2. Restrictions on the Shares. Except as provided in this Section 2,
the Executive shall have all rights and privileges of a stockholder as to
2
3
the Shares, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to
receive, without restriction on disposition or forfeiture conditions, cash
dividends and the contemplated distribution of shares of stock to ATI
shareholders of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and Water Pik Technologies,
Inc. The following Restrictions shall apply to the Shares unless and until such
Restrictions expire as to all or any portion of the Shares in accordance with
Section 3 of this Agreement:
(i) any distribution with respect to the Shares made in the
form of stock, including, other than the contemplated distribution of shares of
stock to ATI shareholders of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and Water Pik
Technologies, Inc., shall be and become subject to the Restrictions;
(ii) none of the Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of; and
(iii) all of the Shares shall be subject to forfeiture as set
forth in Section 3(b) of this Agreement.
Any attempt to dispose of Shares in a manner contrary to the foregoing
restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be null, void and ineffective and
shall result in the forfeiture of the Shares.
3. Expiration of the Restrictions; Forfeiture of the Shares.
(a) The Restrictions shall expire with respect to the Shares
upon the earlier to occur of (i) July 16, 2004; (ii) the date of the Executive's
death if he is an employee of ATI on the date of his death; or (iii) termination
of his employment by ATI without Cause, as Cause is defined in Section 9(b) of
that certain Employment Agreement dated the 17th day of August, 1999, between
ATI and the Executive (whether or not the Employment Agreement is in effect on
the date of such termination). Such Employment Agreement is hereby incorporated
herein as if set forth at length.
(b) If, before the Restrictions expire in accordance with
Section 3(a), either (i) the Executive's employment with ATI shall terminate for
any reason other than his death or as specified in Section 3(a)(iii), or (ii)
the Executive breaches any of his material obligations under the Employment
Agreement, all rights of the Executive to the Shares shall forthwith terminate
and be forfeited in their entirety. In the event of any
3
4
such forfeiture, the certificate or certificates representing the forfeited
Shares shall be canceled.
4. Restricted Securities. The Executive hereby confirms that he has
been informed that the Shares are restricted securities under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and may not be resold or transferred
unless the Shares are first registered under the federal securities laws or
unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, the
Executive hereby acknowledges that he is prepared to hold the Shares for an
indefinite period, including such period as may be necessary after the
Restrictions expire, and that he is aware that Rule 144 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") issued under the Securities Act is not
presently available to exempt the sale of the Shares from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The Executive is aware of the adoption of
Rule 144 by the Commission, promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits
limited public resales of securities acquired in a nonpublic offering, subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Executive understands that under
Rule 144, the conditions include, among other things: the availability of
certain current public information about the issuer, the resale occurring not
fewer than one year after the party has acquired the securities to be sold, the
sale being through a broker is an unsolicited "broker's transaction" and the
amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations. The Executive acknowledges and understands that ATI may
not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the
time he wishes to sell the Shares or other conditions under Rule 144 which are
required of ATI. If so, he understands that he will be precluded from selling
the securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year holding period of said Rule
has been satisfied. Prior to his acquisition of the Shares, the Executive
acquired sufficient information about ATI to reach an informed knowledgeable
decision to acquire the Shares. The Executive has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to make him capable of utilizing said
information to evaluate the risks of the prospective investment and to make an
informed investment decision. The Executive is able to bear the economic risk of
his investment in the Shares.
5. Disposition of Shares. Prior to the expiration of the Restrictions,
the plenary transfer restriction set forth in of Section 2 of this Agreement
shall apply to the Shares. The Executive hereby agrees that following the
expiration of the Restrictions he shall make no disposition of the Shares except
in a transaction which counsel to ATI has determined
4
5
complies with the various then applicable securities laws of the United State
and any state with jurisdiction.
6. Tax Payments; Withholding. ATI may withhold from the Shares or any
cash amount payable with respect to the Shares from ATI to the Executive all
taxes which ATI is required or otherwise authorized to withhold under applicable
law as determined by ATI in good faith.
7. Notices. All notices or communications hereunder shall be in
writing, addressed as follows:

together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
