--------- -------------------------------
3.1. Repurchase. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company
----------
or its assigns shall repurchase (subject to approval of the Company's senior
lender if then required, with the Company to use its best efforts to obtain any
such approval), and the Grantee and any Permitted Transferee shall sell to it or

3.2. Closing Procedure. The Company or its assigns shall effect the
-----------------
Repurchase by delivering or mailing to the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, his
Permitted Transferees) written notice within six (6) months after the
Termination Event, specifying a date within such six-month period in which the
Repurchase shall be effected, provided that if approval of such Repurchase is
required as contemplated by Section 3.1, then the Repurchase shall occur
promptly after the same is approved if such approval is required but not
obtained within such six-month period. Upon such notification, the Grantee and
his Permitted Transferees shall promptly surrender to the Company any
certificates representing the Restricted Shares being purchased, together with a
duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Restricted Shares to the
Company or the Company's assignee or assignees (as contemplated by Section 6,
if applicable). Upon the Company's or its assignee's receipt of the
certificates from the Grantee or his Permitted Transferees, the Company or its
assignee or assignees shall deliver to him, her or them a cashier's check for
the purchase price of the Restricted Shares. At such time, the Grantee and/or
any holder of the Restricted Shares shall deliver to the Company the certificate
or certificates representing the Restricted Shares so repurchased, duly endorsed
for transfer, free and clear of any lien or encumbrances. The Repurchase
obligation specified herein shall survive and remain in effect as to Restricted
Shares following and notwithstanding any public offering by the Company and
certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall bear legends to such
effect.
3.3. Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement
------
or other rights, in the event that the Grantee, his Permitted Transferees or any
other person or entity is required to sell his or her Restricted Shares pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 3 and in the further event that he or she
refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the designated purchaser of such
Restricted Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Restricted
Shares together with a related stock power, such designated purchaser may
deposit the purchase price for such Restricted Shares with any bank doing
business within fifty (50) miles of the Company's principal office, or with the
Company's independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow,
for the Grantee, his Permitted Transferees or other person or entity, to be held
by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, them
or it. Upon such deposit by the designated purchaser of such amount and upon
notice to the person or entity who was required to sell the Restricted Shares to
be sold pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3, such Restricted Shares
shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and
conveyed to such purchaser, the holder thereof shall have no further rights
thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow),
and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any
appropriate manner.
Section 4. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. None of the Shares now
--------- ----------------------------------
owned or hereafter acquired shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered,
whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless such transfer is in
compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including,
without limitation, the Act), and such disposition is in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Section 4. In connection with any transfer of
Shares, the Company may require the transferor to provide at his own expense an
opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Company, that such
transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws
(including without limitation, the Act). Any attempted disposition of Shares
not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 4 shall be null
and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record
ownership of any Shares as a result of any such disposition, shall otherwise
refuse to recognize any such disposition and shall not in any way give effect to
any such disposition of any Shares. Subject to the foregoing general
provisions, Shares may be transferred pursuant to the following specific terms
and conditions:
(a) Transfers to Permitted Transferees. The Grantee may sell, assign,
----------------------------------
transfer or give away any or all of the Shares to Permitted Transferees;
provided, however,
-------- -------
that any such Permitted Transferee(s) shall, as a condition to any such
transfer, agree to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including
without limitation, the provisions of Section 3 (with respect to Restricted
Shares only) and this Section 4) and shall have delivered a written
acknowledgment to that effect to the Company.
(b) Transfers Upon Death. Upon the death of the Grantee, the Shares
--------------------
held by the Grantee may be transferred and distributed by will or other
instrument taking effect at his death or by the laws of descent and distribution
to the Grantee's estate, executors, administrators and personal representatives,
and then to the Grantees' heirs, legatees or distributees whether or not such
heirs, legatees or distributees are Permitted Transferees; provided, however,
-------- -------
that any such transferees shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3 (with
respect to Restricted Shares only) hereof and this Section 4.
(c) Other Transfers. The Grantee shall not transfer all or any part
---------------
of the Restricted Shares except in connection with a Sale Event and except as
provided in Sections 4(a) and (b) above.
Section 5. Legend. Any certificate(s) representing the Shares shall carry
------
substantially the following legends:
"The transferability of this Certificate and the shares of stock
represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and
conditions (including repurchase and restrictions against transfers)
contained in a certain Restricted Stock Agreement dated February 29,
1996 between the Company and the holder of this Certificate (a copy of
which is available at the offices of the Company for examination)."
and
"The shares represented by this Certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of
any State. The shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of
such registration or an exemption from registration."
Section 6. Escrow. In order to carry out the provisions of Sections 3 and
--------- ------
4 of this Agreement more effectively, the Company shall hold the Shares in
escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Grantee in blank for
transfer. The Company shall not dispose of the Shares except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement. In the event of any Repurchase, the Company is
hereby authorized by the Grantee, as the Grantee's attorney-in-fact, to date and
complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Shares being
purchased and to transfer such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At
such time as any Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement, the
Company shall, at the written request of the Grantee, deliver to the Grantee (or
his proposed transferee) a certificate representing such Shares with the balance
of the Shares to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 6. All Shares which
remain in escrow upon the termination of this Agreement shall
then be delivered to the Grantee and/or the record holders of such Shares. The
right to vote the Shares and to receive cash dividends on the Shares shall
remain in the Grantee unless and until the Shares are purchased by the Company
pursuant to any Repurchase. The Company upon request by the Grantee shall
promptly process and release at its expense certificates representing
Unrestricted Shares to the Grantee.
Section 7. Withholding Taxes. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that
--------- -----------------
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have the right to deduct from payments of
any kind otherwise due to the Grantee, or from the Shares held pursuant to
Section 6 hereof, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law
to be withheld with respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Grantee. In
furtherance of the foregoing the Grantee agrees to elect, in accordance with
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to recognize
ordinary income in the year of acquisition of the Shares, and to pay to the
Company all withholding taxes shown as due on his Section 83(b) election form,
or otherwise ultimately determined to be due with respect to such election,
based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such Shares as of the
date of the purchase of such Shares by the Grantee over the purchase price for
such Shares.
Section 8. Assignment. At the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
--------- ----------
Company, the Company shall have the right to assign the right to exercise its
obligations and rights with respect to the Repurchase to any person or persons,
in whole or in part in any particular instance, upon the same terms and
conditions applicable to the exercise thereof by the Company, and such assignee
or assignees of the Company shall then take and hold any Shares so acquired
subject to such terms as may be specified by the Company in connection with any
such assignment.
