Consultant acknowledges and agrees that subject to any consulting agreement
between Consultant and the Company or applicable law, neither the issuance of

and warrants to Consultant as follows:

3. Right to Purchase Consultant Stock Upon Termination of Employment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Repurchase Right. If the Repurchase Date occurs, the Consultant Stock
----------------
(including any Consultant Stock acquired subsequent to the Repurchase Date),
whether held by Consultant or one or more transferees, will be subject to
repurchase by the Bain Stockholders, the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders and the
Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 (the
"Repurchase Option").
-----------------
(b) Repurchase Price. Consultant Stock purchased pursuant to the
----------------
Repurchase Option will be purchased at a price per share equal to the Fair
Market Value of such Consultant Stock as of the Valuation Date.
(c) Repurchase Procedures. The Company may elect or decline to exercise
---------------------
the Repurchase Option by delivering written notice (the "Company Repurchase
------------------
Notice") to the holder or holders of each class of the applicable Consultant
------
Stock, the Bain Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders within the later
of the one-year anniversary of this Agreement or 240 days after the applicable
Repurchase Date. To the extent that after giving effect to the Company's option
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence any portion of the Consultant
Stock is not being repurchased by the Company, the Bain Stockholders and the
Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders may elect or decline to exercise the Repurchase Option
to purchase up to their pro rata share (determined based upon the number of
shares of Class A Common and Class B Common held by each) by delivering written
notice (the "Initial Repurchase Notice") to the Company, the holder or holders
-------------------------
of Consultant Stock and the other within the later of (i) 10 business days after
receipt of the Company Repurchase Notice or (ii) the expiration of the later of
one-year anniversary of this Agreement or the expiration of the 240 day period
during which the Company was entitled to deliver the Company Repurchase Notice.
To the extent that the Bain Stockholders or the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders do not
elect to repurchase their full allotment of the remaining Consultant Stock, the
other party shall be entitled to purchase all or any portion of the remaining
Consultant Stock by providing written notice (the "Supplemental Repurchase
-----------------------
Notice" and together with the Initial Repurchase Notice and Company Repurchase
------
Notice, a "Repurchase Notice") to each of the parties receiving the Initial
-----------------
Repurchase Notice within ten business days of the expiration of the period
during which the Bain Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders were
entitled to deliver the Initial Repurchase Notice. Each Repurchase Notice will
set forth the number of shares of each class of Consultant Stock to be acquired
from such holder(s), an estimate of the aggregate consideration to be paid for
such holder's shares of each such class of Consultant Stock and the time and
place for the closing of the transaction. If any shares of any class of
Consultant Stock are held by any transferees of Consultant, the Bain
Stockholders, the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders and the Company, as the case may be,
will
4
purchase such shares of such class elected to be purchased from such holder(s)
of Consultant Stock, pro rata according to the number of shares of such class of
Consultant Stock held by such holder(s) at the time of delivery of such
Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share).
(d) Closing. Each closing of a repurchase transaction will take place on
-------
the date designated by the Bain Stockholders, the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders or
the Company, as the case may be, in the latest Repurchase Notice, which date
will not be more than 60 days after the delivery of such notice, and no earlier
than any date set forth in an earlier Repurchase Notice or the final
determination of Fair Market Value per share of Consultant Stock as of the
Valuation Date and the expiration of any time periods for which a repurchase
election may be revoked pursuant to Section 3(e) (the "Scheduled Closing Date").
The Company will pay for any shares of Consultant Stock to be purchased pursuant
to a Repurchase Option by delivery of cash or cashier's check payable to the
holder(s) of such shares of Consultant Stock in an aggregate amount equal to
their share of the aggregate repurchase price (the "Repurchase Price"); provided
---------------- --------
that any purchase of the Consultant Stock that occurs after the Scheduled
----
Closing Date by the Company as a result of the Financing Circumstances (as
defined below) shall include simple interest calculated from the Scheduled
Closing Date to the date of such payment at the rate of 6% per annum on the
Repurchase Price attributable to such shares of Consultant Stock. The Bain
Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders will pay for any shares of
Consultant Stock to be purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Option by delivery of
cash or cashier's check payable to the holder(s) of such shares of Consultant
Stock in an aggregate amount equal to their share of the aggregate unpaid
Repurchase Price for such shares of Consultant Stock. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all repurchases of shares of
Consultant Stock pursuant to this Section 3(d) will be subject to applicable
restrictions and covenants contained in the Pennsylvania Business Corporation
Law of 1988 and in the Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt financing
agreements. If (i) any such restrictions or covenants prohibit the repurchase
of Consultant Stock hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled to make,
(ii) the Company does not have cash availability, including availability under
its revolver, of at least $15 million on a projected basis for the next six
month period (collectively, the "Financing Circumstances"), or (iii) the
-----------------------
repurchase would not allow the transactions contemplated by the Merger to
qualify for recapitalization accounting, then the Company will not be required
to make such repurchase (and may defer making such repurchase) until it is
permitted to do so under such restrictions and covenants and until its projected
cash availability is greater than $15 million (with it being understood that the
Company will make the maximum amount of repurchases permitted and may defer
making the remainder of such repurchases until permitted to do so and it being
further understood that any closing of any such repurchase shall not occur on a
date which is later than the second anniversary of the Scheduled Closing Date).
The Bain Stockholders, the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders and the Company will
receive customary representations and warranties from each seller regarding the
sale of shares of Consultant Stock solely with respect to such seller's
ownership and title to Consultant Stock and capacity to transfer Consultant
Stock.
(e) Revocation of Repurchase Election. Notwithstanding anything contained
---------------------------------
in this Agreement to the contrary, if Consultant objects to Board's
determination of Fair Market Value as
5
described in the definition of Fair Market Value, or if the Fair Market Value of
a share of Consultant Stock is otherwise determined to be an amount more than
10% greater than the per share repurchase price for such share of Consultant
Stock in the Initial Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Repurchase Notice, each
of the Company, the Bain Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders shall
have the right to revoke its exercise of the Repurchase Option for all or any
portion of the Consultant Stock elected to be repurchased by it by delivering
notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of the Consultant Stock, the
Company, the Bain Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders during (i) the
30 day period beginning on the date that the Company, the Bain Stockholders and
the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders received Consultant's written notice of objection,
and (ii) the 30 day period beginning on the date that the Company, the Bain
Stockholders and/or the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders are given written notice that
the Fair Market Value of a share of Consultant Stock was finally determined to
be an amount more than 10% greater than the per share repurchase price for
Consultant Stock set forth in the Initial Repurchase Notice or in the
Supplemental Repurchase Notice.
In the event that the Bain Stockholders deliver a notice of revocation, the
Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders shall be entitled to purchase all or any portion of
the Consultant Stock that would otherwise have been purchased by the Bain
Stockholders by providing an additional Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the
holders of the Consultant Stock and the Company within 10 business days after
receipt of the Bain Stockholders' notice of revocation. The Company may exercise
the Repurchase Option for the remaining Consultant Stock by delivering an
additional Company Repurchase Notice to the holder or holders of the applicable
Consultant Stock within 10 business days of the expiration of the 10 business
day period described in the preceding sentence.
In the event that the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders deliver a notice of
revocation, the Bain Stockholders shall be entitled to purchase all or any
portion of the Consultant Stock that would otherwise have been purchased by the
Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders by providing an additional Supplemental Repurchase
Notice to the holders of the Consultant Stock and the Company within 10 business
days after receipt of the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders' notice of revocation. The
Company may exercise the Repurchase Option for the remaining Consultant Stock by
delivering an additional Company Repurchase Notice to the holder or holders of
the applicable Consultant Stock within 10 business days of the expiration of the
10 business day period described in the preceding sentence.
In the event that the Company delivers a notice of revocation, the Bain
Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders shall be entitled to purchase
their pro rata share (determined based on the number of shares of Class A Common
and Class B Common held by each) of all or any portion of the Consultant Stock
that would otherwise have been purchased by the Company by providing an
additional Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the holders of the Consultant Stock
and the other party within 10 business days after receipt of the Company's
notice of revocation. To the extent that the Bain Stockholders or the Bear
Xxxxxxx Stockholders do not elect to repurchase their full allotment of
Consultant Stock, the other party shall be entitled to purchase the remaining
Consultant Stock by delivering an additional Supplemental Repurchase Notice to
the holder or holders of the applicable Consultant Stock within 10 business days
of the expiration of the 10 business day period described in the preceding

earliest of (i) a Bain Exit, (ii) a Qualified Initial Public Offering, or (iii)
the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date.
4. Right to Put Consultant Stock.
-----------------------------
(a) Put Right. If the Company terminates the consulting period under the
----------
Consulting Agreement executed by and between the Company and Consultant as of
the date hereof for any reason, then holder(s) of Consultant Stock have the
right (the "Put Right") to require the Company, or should the Bear Xxxxxxx
---------
Stockholders and Bain Stockholders so elect subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Bain Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders, to
purchase all or any portion of the Consultant Stock then held by all (and not
less than all) of such holder(s) (other than any Consultant Stock for which the
Company has exercised its Repurchase Option) pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 4; provided that, notwithstanding the
-------- ----
foregoing, Consultant shall not be entitled to exercise the Put Right if such
exercise (or the results thereof) would cause the transactions contemplated by
the Merger to fail to qualify for recapitalization accounting. If any shares of
any class of Consultant Stock are held by any transferees of Consultant, the
Bain Stockholders, the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders and the Company, as the case
may be, will purchase such shares of such class to be purchased from such
holder(s) of Consultant Stock, pro rata according to the number of shares of
such class of Consultant Stock held by such holder(s) at the time of delivery of

the holder(s) of Consultant Stock.
(ii) The Bain Stockholders and the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders may
each elect to purchase their pro rata share (determined based upon the number of
shares of Class A Common and Class B Common held by each) of any or all of the
shares of Consultant Stock which the Company is otherwise required to purchase
pursuant to the Put Option by delivering written notice (the "Initial Put
-----------
Purchase Notice") to the holder or holders of each class of Consultant Stock,
---------------
the Company and the other party, within 30 days after receiving the Put Notice.
To the extent that the Bain Stockholders or the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders do not
elect to purchase their full allotment of Consultant Stock, the other party
shall be entitled to purchase all or any portion of the remaining
7
Consultant Stock by providing notice (the "Supplemental Put Purchase Notice") to
--------------------------------
each of the parties receiving the Initial Put Purchase Notice within the later
of (i) 10 business days after receipt of the Initial Put Purchase Notice or (ii)
the expiration of the 30 day period during which the Bain Stockholders and the
Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders were entitled to deliver Initial Put Purchase Notices.
To the extent that, after giving effect to the reoffer pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence, any portion of the Consultant Stock is not being
purchased by the Bain Stockholders or the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders, the Company
must repurchase the remaining Consultant Stock as set forth in Section 4(d)
below. Each Initial Put Purchase Notice and Supplemental Purchase Notice shall

delivery of the Put Notice, and no earlier than the final determination of Fair
Market Value per share of Consultant Stock as of the Valuation Date and the
expiration of any time periods for which a purchase election may be revoked

------------------------
Stockholders, the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders and the Company, as the case may be,
shall pay for any shares of Consultant Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Put
Option by delivery of cash or a cashier's check payable to the holder(s) of such
shares of Consultant Stock in an aggregate amount equal to their pro rata share
of the aggregate repurchase price ("Put Price") for such shares of Consultant
---------
Stock; provided that any purchase of Consultant Stock that occurs after the
-------- ----
Anticipated Closing Date by the Company as a result of the Financing
Circumstances shall include simple interest calculated from the Anticipated
Closing Date until the date of such purchase at the rate of 6% per annum on the
Put Price attributable to such shares of Consultant Stock. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all repurchases of shares
of Consultant Stock by the Company will be subject to applicable restrictions
and covenants contained in the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 and
in the Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements. If
either of the Financing Circumstances exist, the Company will not be required to
make such repurchases until it is permitted to do so under such restrictions and
until its projected cash availability is greater than $15 million (with it being
understood that the Company will make the maximum amount of repurchases
permitted and may defer making the remainder of such repurchases until permitted
to do so and it being further understood that the closing of such repurchase

such seller's ownership and title to Consultant Stock and capacity to transfer
Consultant Stock.

in this Agreement to the contrary, if Consultant objects to the Board's

-----------------
(a) Except as set forth in subsection (b) below, the Company will not
issue, sell or otherwise transfer to the Xxxx Stockholders or the Bear Xxxxxxx
Stockholders (an "Issuance") at any time prior to a Public Offering, any capital
--------
stock or debt securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for capital stock or debt securities) unless, at least 15 days
prior to such Issuance, the Company notifies each holder of Consultant Stock in
writing of the Issuance (including the price, the purchasers thereof and the
other terms thereof) and grants to each holder of Consultant Stock, the right
(the "Right") to subscribe for and purchase a portion of such additional shares
-----
or other securities so issued at the same price and on the same terms as issued
in the Issuance equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the number of
fully diluted shares of Class A Common and Class B Common held by such holder by
(2) the total number of shares of Class A Common and Class B Common outstanding
on a fully diluted basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all Persons entitled
to purchase or receive such stock or securities are required to also purchase
other securities of the Company, the holders of capital stock exercising their
Right pursuant to this Section shall also be required to purchase the same strip
of securities (on the same terms and conditions) that such other Persons are
required to purchase. The Right may be exercised by such holder at any time by
written notice to the Company received by the Company within 10 days after
receipt by such holder of the notice from the Company referred to above. The
closing of the purchase and sale pursuant to the exercise of the Right shall
occur not less than 10 days after the Company receives notice of the exercise of
the Right and concurrently with the closing of the Issuance.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Right shall not apply to (i)
issuances of capital stock or debt securities (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for, or options to purchase, capital stock or debt securities), pro
rata to all holders of any class of Stock, as a dividend on, subdivision of or
other distribution in respect of, such class of capital stock, (ii) conversions
or exchanges of one class or form of capital stock into another class or form of
capital stock, (iii) issuances of capital stock upon exercise of any debt
security issued by the Company, or (iv) the issuance of capital stock (or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or options to purchase, capital
stock) on customary, arm's length terms in connection with the provision by the
Xxxx Stockholders or the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders of debt financing to the
Company or its Subsidiaries.
(c) The provisions of this Section 5 will terminate upon the consummation
of a Public Offering or upon a Xxxx Exit.

the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is
defined in Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of
Consultant Stock appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company,

Section 8, shall include any director appointed by the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders

(the "Voting Agreement")) who are not Affiliates or designees of the Xxxx
----------------
Stockholders (the "Non-Xxxx Directors") approve a Xxxx Sale of the Company (an
------------------
"Approved Xxxx Sale"), then each holder of Consultant Stock that is not an
------------------
Affiliate of the Xxxx Stockholders will vote for, consent to and raise no
objections against such Approved Xxxx Sale. Each such holder of Consultant Stock

such holder of Consultant Stock will agree to sell (including, without
limitation, by executing and delivering definitive agreements with respect
thereto) up to all of his or her Consultant Stock on the terms and conditions
approved by the Non-Xxxx Directors; provided that the terms and conditions of
--------
such transaction applicable to each holder of a class of Consultant Stock that
is not a Xxxx Stockholder or an Affiliate thereof are the same as those
applicable to the stockholder holding the largest number of shares of such class
of capital stock that is not a Xxxx Stockholder or an Affiliate thereof
(including, subject to Section 9 below, the price per share and the type of
consideration, but excluding reasonable investment banking and advisory fees

of the Company's securities enter into any negotiation or transaction for which

transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the
holders of Consultant Stock will, at the request of the Company or the Xxxx
Stockholders, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in
Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Xxxx Stockholders. If
any holder of Consultant Stock appoints a purchaser representative designated by
the Company or the Xxxx Stockholders, the Company will pay the fees of such
purchaser representative, but if any holder of Consultant Stock declines to
appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company or the Xxxx
Stockholders, such holder will appoint another purchaser representative, and
such holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so
appointed.
(c) Each of the holders of Consultant Stock (if any) will bear their pro-
rata share (based upon the number of shares of Class A Common sold by
stockholders) of the costs of any sale of Consultant Stock pursuant to an
Approved Xxxx Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all
or substantially all holders of Common Stock not affiliated with the Xxxx
Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party.
Costs incurred by each holder of Consultant Stock on its own behalf will not be
considered costs of the transaction hereunder.
(d) The provisions of this Section 8 shall terminate upon a Qualified
Initial Public Offering.
9. Distributions upon Sale of the Company, etc. In the event of a sale
--------------------------------------------

recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, combination or otherwise) in
connection with an Approved Sale or Approved Xxxx Sale each holder of Consultant
Stock shall receive in exchange for the Consultant Stock held by such holder
participating in such sale, the same portion of the aggregate consideration from
such sale or exchange that such holder would have received if such aggregate
consideration had been distributed by the Company to the holders of capital
stock of the Company participating in such sale, in complete liquidation
pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in the Company's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to such sale
or exchange (and assuming that the only shares of capital stock of the Company
outstanding were the shares of capital stock of the Company participating in
such sale). Each holder of Consultant Stock shall take all necessary or
desirable actions in connection with the distribution of the aggregate
consideration from such sale or exchange as requested by the Company.
10. Initial Public Offering. In the event that the Board approves an
-----------------------
initial public offering and sale of Common Stock (a "Public Offering") pursuant
---------------
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the holders of Common Stock shall take all necessary or desirable
actions in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering. In the event
that such Public Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the Common
Stock structure would adversely affect the marketability of the offering, each
holder of Common Stock shall consent to and vote for a
13
recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange of the Common Stock into
securities that the managing underwriters and the Board find acceptable and
equitable in the circumstances and shall take all necessary or desirable actions
in connection with the consummation of the recapitalization, reorganization
and/or exchange; provided that the resulting securities take into account the
--------
rights and preferences set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated Articles
of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to such Public Offering.

TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO A CONSULTANT STOCK
AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY, 1999 AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH
SECURITIES (THE "COMPANY") AND XXXXX X. XXXXXX, AS AMENDED
AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH CONSULTANT

removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be Consultant
Stock in accordance with the definition of Consultant Stock set forth in Section
14 hereof.
12. Participation Rights.

Bear Xxxxxxx) pursuant to which such party or parties acquire more than 5% of
any class of capital stock held by the Xxxx Stockholders or Bear Xxxxxxx
Stockholders in any transaction or series of transactions (excluding Public
Sales and transfers and/or distributions to partners of the Xxxx Stockholders or
the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders), then the Consultant will be afforded an
opportunity to participate in such transaction on, subject to Section 9, the
same terms and conditions as applicable to the other holders of such class of
capital stock participating in such transaction. If any stockholder other than
the Xxxx Stockholders or the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders, as the case may be (each
a "Transferring Stockholder") has elected to participate in such sale, the
------------------------
Transferring Stockholder shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated sale a
number of shares of any class of capital stock equal to the product of (i) the
quotient determined by dividing the percentage of such class of capital stock
owned by the Transferring Stockholder by the aggregate percentage of Common
Stock owned by the stockholders participating in such sale (which in the case of
a sale by Xxxx Stockholders may include the Bear Xxxxxxx Stockholders and which
in the case of a sale by Bear
14
Xxxxxxx Stockholders may include the Xxxx Stockholders) and (ii) the number of
shares of such class of capital stock to be sold in the contemplated sale. Each
holder of Consultant Stock participating in any such transaction will take all
necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of any such
transaction as requested by the Xxxx Stockholders including without limitation
executing the applicable purchase agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Xxxx Stockholders
intend to transfer shares of more than one class of capital stock, each
Transferring Stockholder will not be entitled to participation rights pursuant
to this Section 12 unless such Transferring Stockholder and sells in the
contemplated sale a pro rata portion of shares of all such classes of capital
stock, which portion shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section
12(a).
(c) The Xxxx Stockholders will use reasonable efforts to obtain the
agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of any
Transferring Stockholders in any contemplated sale, and the Xxxx Stockholders
will not transfer any class of capital stock to the prospective transferee(s)
unless (i) the prospective transferee(s) agree to allow the participation of the
Transferring Stockholders or (ii) the Xxxx Stockholders agree to purchase on the
same terms and conditions the number of such class of capital stock from any
Transferring Stockholders which such Transferring Stockholders would have been
entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 12.
13. Transfer. Prior to transferring any Consultant Stock (other than a
--------
Public Sale or an Approved Sale or pursuant to Section 12) to any Person,
Consultant shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement
and to execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement.
14. Definition of Consultant Stock. For all purposes of this Agreement,
------------------------------
Consultant Stock will continue to be Consultant Stock in the hands of any holder
other than Consultant (except for the Company, purchasers pursuant to an
offering registered under the Securities Act or purchasers pursuant to a Rule
144 transaction (other than a Rule 144(k) transaction occurring prior to the
time the Company is a Public Company) and subsequent transferees), and each such
other holder of Consultant Stock will succeed to all rights and obligations
attributable to Consultant as a holder of Consultant Stock hereunder.
Consultant Stock will also include shares of the Company's capital stock issued
with respect to shares of Consultant Stock by way of a stock split, stock
dividend or other recapitalization.
15. Holdback Agreement. Before and after, the effective date of any
------------------
underwritten Public Offering, no holder of Consultant Stock will effect any sale
or distribution of Common Stock during the period designated by the underwriters
managing such underwritten Public Offering with respect to such holder of
Consultant Stock, but in no event shall any such period following the effective
date of any such underwritten Public Offering exceed 180 days.

time to time.
"Fair Market Value" of each share of Consultant Stock means the average of
-----------------
the closing prices of the sales of the appropriate class of Common Stock on all
securities exchanges on which such class of Common Stock may at the time be
listed, or, if there have been no sales on any such exchange on any day, the
average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the
end of such day, or, if on any day such Common Stock is not so listed, the
average of the representative bid and asked prices quoted in the NASDAQ System
as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, or, if on any day such Common Stock is not
quoted in the NASDAQ System, of the average of the highest bid and lowest asked
prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or any similar successor organization,
in each such case averaged over a period of 21 days consisting of the day as of
which the Fair Market Value is being determined and the 20 consecutive business
days prior to such day. If at any time such class of Common Stock is not listed
on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-
counter market, the Fair Market Value will be the fair value of such class of
Common Stock determined in good faith by the Board based on such factors as the
members thereof, in the exercise of their business judgment, consider relevant
without taking into account a discount for a minority position or illiquidity
but taking into account whether the Company is a privately held company or a
public company (with it being understood that as of the day immediately
following the date hereof, the Fair Market Value for each share of Class A
Common shall be $0.22 and for each share of Class L Common shall be $18 per

agreement is not reached within 30 days after the delivery of the Company
Repurchase Notice, the Initial Repurchase Notice or the Supplemental Repurchase
Notice, Fair Market Value shall be determined by an independent and unaffiliated
appraiser (which shall be one of Valuation Research, BT Xxxx Xxxxx, Broadview
Associates or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx) selected by the Board, which appraiser shall be
instructed to submit to the Board and the Consultant a report within 30 days of
its engagement setting forth such determination. The first $7,000 of the
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Consultant (and the remainder
shall be borne by the Company) unless the appraiser's valuation is at least 25%
17
greater than the amount determined by the Board, in which case, the costs of the
appraiser shall be borne by the Company. In the absence of manifest error, the
determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Company has determined
Fair Market Value through an independent and unaffiliated appraiser at any time
within the six month period prior to Consultant's Termination Date, the Fair
Market Value set forth in such appraisal shall conclusively be deemed to be
"Fair Market Value" hereunder and shall be binding upon all parties hereto,
unless the Board, in its good faith discretion determines that acquisitions,
divestitures or other material events consummated during such six-month period
affect the valuation set forth in such appraisal.
"Family Group" means a Participant's spouse and descendants of Participant
------------
or his or her parents (whether natural or adopted) and any trust solely for the
benefit of such Participant and/or such Participant's spouse and/or descendants

exchange for Common Stock.

Securities Act.
"Qualified Initial Public Offering" means the initial sale by the Company
---------------------------------
