(d) a restrictive legend in the form set forth below and the legends set forth in Section 7.2 of the Securityholders Agreement shall be placed on the certificates representing the Common Stock:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN REPURCHASE OPTIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN A MANAGEMENT EQUITY SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WITH THE ISSUER DATED AS OF ____ __, ____, AS AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE”; and

(b) If Executive or Executive’s Family Group, as applicable, desires to exercise its option to require the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(a), Executive or Executive’s Family Group, as applicable, shall send written notice to the Company setting forth Executive’s or Executive’s Family Group, as applicable, intention to sell all of his or their Shares, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.1(a) (the “Put Notice”). Subject to the provisions of Section 5, the closing of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of the Company on a date specified by the Company no later than the 60th day after the giving of such notice.
4.2 Call Option.
(a) If Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any of the reasons set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) below prior to the Lapse Date, the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to purchase any or all of Executive’s Shares issuable or issued upon exercise of the Option for a period of 181 days (or such longer period as is necessary in order to avoid the application of adverse accounting treatment to the Company) following the later of (x) the Termination Date or (y) the date of receipt of the Shares following exercise of the Option, in each case, at a price per Share equal to the applicable purchase price determined as follows:

(ii) Termination of Employment Other than for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Cause, the purchase price per Share will be Fair Market Value (measured as of the purchase date).
(b) If the Company desires to exercise its option to purchase such Shares pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the Company shall, not later than 181 days following the later of (x) the Termination Date or (y) the date of receipt of the Shares following exercise of the Option, send written notice to Executive of its intention to purchase Shares, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased (the “Call Notice”). Subject to the provisions of Section 5, the closing of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of the Company on a date specified by the Company no later than the 30th day after the giving of the later of the Call Notice.

| 5. | Certain Limitations on the Company’s Obligations to Purchase Shares. |
5.1 Deferral of Purchases. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares at any time pursuant to Section 4, regardless of whether it has delivered a Call Notice or received a Put Notice, (i) to the extent that the purchase of such Shares would result in (A) a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by any federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their property or (B) after giving effect thereto, a Financing Default, (ii) if immediately prior to such purchase there exists a Financing Default which prohibits such purchase, or (iii) to the extent that there is a lack of available cash on hand of the Company and no cash is available to the Company.
