securities of the Company possessing the power to elect (without reference to
any special or default voting rights) a majority of the members of the Board or
(ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, all Unvested
Shares will become Vested Shares.
5. Repurchase Option.
-----------------

(a "Noncompete Breach"), or in the event Executive's employment by the Company
-----------------
and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (a "Termination"), the Executive
-----------
Call Stock (whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive's transferees,
other than the Company or GTCR) will be subject to repurchase by the Company
first, Management second and GTCR third pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this paragraph 5 (the "Repurchase Option").
-----------------
(b) If the Repurchase Option becomes exercisable because of a
Noncompete Breach or a Termination resulting from the Company's termination of
Executive's employment for Cause, then, the purchase price for each share of
----
Executive Call Stock will be the lower of (a) Executive's Original Cost for such
share or (b) the Fair Market Value of such share. If Executive's employment
terminates other than as described in the preceding sentence, the purchase price
for each (i) Unvested Share shall be Executive's Original Cost for such share,
and (ii) Vested Share shall be the Fair Market Value of such share as of the
date of the related Repurchase Notice or Investor Notice (as hereinafter
defined), as the case may be.
(c) The Company may, at the option of the Board, elect to purchase all
or any portion of the Executive Call Stock from time to time by delivering
written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to Management, GTCR and the holder or
-----------------
holders of such Executive Call Stock from time to time during the 270 days after
the Noncompete Breach or Termination, as the case may be. The Repurchase Notice
will set forth the number of shares of Executive Call Stock, including the
number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares, to be acquired from the recipient
holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and the time and

Unvested Shares and the Vested Shares, the Company has not yet elected
to purchase (the "Available Shares"), by giving written notice to the
----------------
Company and the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be repurchased
during the 30 days after the date of delivery to Management of the
Repurchase Notice (the "Management Notice") setting forth the number
-----------------
of Available Shares each Manager is willing to purchase. If the
Managers elect to purchase an aggregate number of shares greater than
the number of Available Shares, the Available Shares shall be
allocated among the Managers pro rata based on the number of shares of
Common Stock owned by each Manager. As soon as practicable, and in any
event, within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day period set
forth above, the Company shall notify the holder(s) of the Available
Shares and GTCR as to the number of shares being purchased from such
holder(s) by Management (the "Supplemental Repurchase Notice"). At the
------------------------------
time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the
holder(s) of the Available Shares, the Company shall also deliver
written notice to each Manager and GTCR setting forth the number of
shares such 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 GTCR, a statement of the number, type and purchase price
of Available Shares available for purchase by GTCR.
(e) If for any reason Management has not elected to purchase
any or all of the Available Shares pursuant to paragraph 5(d) above,
GTCR may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Shares not
purchased by Management by giving written notice to the holder(s) of
the Available Shares to be repurchased within 30 days after the date
of delivery to GTCR of the Supplemental Repurchase Notice (the
"Investor Repurchase Notice") setting forth the number of Available
---------------------------
Shares GTCR is willing to purchase.
(f) Each closing of the purchase of the Executive Call Stock
pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date
designated by the Company, Management or GTCR in the related
Repurchase Notice, Supplemental Repurchase Notice, or Investor
Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, but in any event not later than
365 days after the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination. At
such closing, Executive shall deliver to the
- 7 -
Company, Management and/or GTCR certificates representing the
Executive Stock to be repurchased by the Company, Management and/or
GTCR and the Company, Management and/or GTCR, as the case may be, will
pay for the Executive Call Stock to be purchased pursuant to the
Repurchase Option in the following manner:
(i) In the event that no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or
Termination, payment for the Executive Call Stock to be purchased
shall be made by delivery to Executive of a cashier's or
certified check or wire transfer of funds in the amount of one-
half of the purchase price of the Executive Call Stock on the
date of the closing of the Repurchase Option. Payment for the
remaining one-half of the purchase price shall be made by
delivery of a promissory note of the purchaser, with an aggregate
principal amount equal to one-half of the purchase price of the
Executive Stock to be repurchased, payable in one lump sum
payment on the second anniversary of the date of issuance and
bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
(ii) In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or
Termination, payment for the Executive Call Stock to be purchased
shall be made by delivery of a promissory note of the purchaser,
with an aggregate principal amount equal to the total purchase
price of the Executive Call Stock to be repurchased, payable in
one lump sum payment on the fifth anniversary of the date of
issuance and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum
Any such note issued by the Company pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and
(ii) above shall be junior and subordinated in right of payment to all
indebtedness of the Company (for borrowed money or otherwise). In
addition, the Company may pay the total purchase price for such shares
by offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by
Executive to the Company. The Company, Management and GTCR will be
entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the
sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers'
signatures be guaranteed.
(g) If within six months following the repurchase of
Executive Call Stock pursuant to paragraph 5(f) above, (i) a Sale
- 8 -
of the Company or a Public Offering of the Company's Common Stock
registered under the Securities Act occurs and (ii) the valuation of a
share of Common Stock for such transaction (based upon the purchase
price or liquidation proceeds per share of Common Stock or the Public
Offering price per share of Common Stock, but reduced by any
preferential amounts available to any of the classes of Common Stock)
exceeds the amounts per share received by the holder(s) of Executive
Call Stock upon the repurchase of Vested Shares, then such holder(s)
of Executive Call Stock shall be entitled to receive from the Company
the benefit of such higher valuation for the Vested Shares of
Executive Call Stock sold under the Repurchase Option. The excess of
(x) the amount which the holder(s) of Executive Call Stock would have
received in such Sale of the Company or Public Offering assuming the
sale of their Vested Shares of Executive Call Stock purchased by
exercise of the Repurchase Option in connection with such transaction,
over (y) the purchase price of the Vested Shares of Executive Call
Stock paid to Executive under the Repurchase Option, shall be paid by
certified check or cashier's check or wire transfer of funds to each
such holder upon consummation of any such transaction. For purposes of
this paragraph 5(g), "Sale" means the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company or a sale of the Company's equity
securities which results in any person, or group of related persons,

of the members of the Board, including any such sale accomplished by
merger or consolidation.

-----------
Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the number of shares
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 the Company,
Management and GTCR, unless the parties to the Transfer have been
fully determined pursuant to this paragraph 6(b) and paragraphs
6(c) and 6(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

------------------
(c) First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to
---------------------
purchase all (but not less than all) of the shares of Executive
Stock 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 Manager and GTCR within 30 days after
the Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has
not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be
transferred, Management may elect to purchase all (but not less
than all) of the Executive Stock 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, the Company
and GTCR within 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to

may transfer the shares of Executive Stock 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
shares of Executive Stock not transferred within such 30-day period
- 10 -
will be subject to the provisions of this paragraph 6(c) upon subsequent
transfer.
(d) Co-Sale Rights.
--------------
(i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer
by delivering written notice to Executive within 90 days after
delivery of the Sale Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to
participate in such Transfer, Executive and GTCR shall be entitled
to sell in the contemplated Transfer, on the same terms and at the
price calculated pursuant to subparagraph 6(d)(ii) below, a number
of shares equal to the product of (x) the quotient determined by
dividing the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such person
by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by Executive
and GTCR and (y) the number of shares to be sold in the contemplated
Transfer.
For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares by
-----------
Executive, and if Executive was at such time the owner of 30% of the
Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected
to participate and GTCR owned 20% of the Company's Common Stock (on a
fully-diluted basis), Executive would be entitled to sell 60 shares
(30% / 50% x 100 shares) and GTCR would be entitled to sell 40 shares
(20% / 50% x 100 shares).
Executive will use his best efforts to obtain the agreement of the
prospective transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in the
contemplated transfer and will not transfer any Executive Stock to
the prospective transferee(s) if such transferee(s) refuses to allow
the participation of GTCR.
(ii) The purchase price to be paid by any transferee for shares
of Class B Common and Class A Common transferred in accordance with
this paragraph 6(d) shall be determined as follows: (i) the price
per share to be paid for Class B Common included in such Transfer
shall be equal to the amount per share of Class B Common which such
transferee has agreed to pay to Executive and (ii) the price per
share to be paid for Class A Common included in such Transfer shall
be the price per share described in clause (i) plus the quotient
----
(the "Per Share Preference") of (A) the sum of the Unreturned
--------------------
Preferred
- 11 -
Amount and the Unpaid Yield of the Class A Common at such time divided by
----------
(B) the number of shares of Class A Common then outstanding.
(e) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this paragraph
-------------------
6 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Executive Stock pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution or among such Executive and such
Executive's Family Members; provided that such restrictions will continue to be
applicable to the Executive Stock after any such transfer and the transferees of
such Executive Stock have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement.
(f) Pledges. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6,
-------
Executive may pledge any shares of Executive Stock to the Company to secure
payment of the Executive Note.

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
