(ii) Series A Shares Duly

compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws.
(iii) Authorization;

Company or its officers of this Agreement, the LLC Agreement, the
Members Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Incentive
Share Purchase Agreements and all other agreements contemplated by
this Agreement and such other Agreements to which the Company is a

(v) Capitalization .
Immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated
under Section 1 hereof and the Other Purchase Agreements, the
equity capitalization of the Company will be as set forth on
Schedule 1 attached hereto.
(d) Additional Purchase
Rights . From time to time after the Closing, if the board of
directors of the Company approves an acquisition, then ABRY
(together with its affiliates and co-investors) shall purchase
additional Series A Shares from the Company at a per share price
equal to the Original Purchase Price and the proceeds received by
the Company therefrom shall be used toward the payment of the
purchase price of such acquisition and related fees and expenses;
provided , however , that (i) ABRY shall not be
required to purchase more than $40 million of Series A Shares, in
the aggregate, pursuant to this Section l(d) and (ii) any such
Series A Shares shall be issued in accordance with Section 9
(Preemptive Rights) of the Members Agreement in order to permit all
holders of Series A Shares to purchase their pro rata amount
thereof.
2. Repurchase of Shares. If
any Executive ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (or in the case of Bill McNitt, if he ceases to be
employed by the Thurston Group) (the “ Termination
” of Executive), all of the Series A Shares as set forth on
Schedule A hereto for such Executive shall be subject to repurchase
by the Company and the ABRY Investor pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Purchase Price for Series A
Shares . The purchase price for each Series A Share that is
subject to the repurchase provisions set forth in this
Section 2 (an “ Eligible Share ”) shall be
the greater of the Original Purchase Price or Fair Market Value (as
defined below) for such share as of the date of the Termination;
provided that if the Termination results from the
Company’s or a Subsidiary’s Termination of
Executive’s employment for Cause, then the repurchase price
for each Series A Share shall be the lower of the Original Purchase
Price or Fair Market Value of such share. The “ Fair
Market Value ” of any Series A Share on any date means
the amount determined by the Board in its good faith judgment as
the amount that would be received by the holder of such Series A
Share if all of the equity securities of the Company were sold to a
buyer in a single transaction and the proceeds from such
transaction were allocated to the holders of equity securities of
the Company as if the proceeds were distributed in a liquidation of
the Company pursuant to the LLC Agreement; provided ,
however , that if the holder of such Series A Shares
disputes the Board’s determination of Fair Market Value (the
“ Disputing Party ”) and the Disputing Party and
the Board are unable to reach agreement as to the Fair Market Value
within a reasonable period of time, the Company and the Disputing
Party shall seek an independent appraisal of such Fair Market Value
by an independent appraiser experienced in valuing securities such
as the Executive Shares and mutually agreeable to the Company and
the Disputing Party, and the determination of such appraiser shall
be final and binding upon the Company, the ABRY Investor and the
Disputing Party. The cost and expense of such appraisal shall be
paid 50% by the Company and 50% by the Disputing Party; provided
that the Company shall pay for the entire cost and expense of such
appraisal if the Company or ABRY Investor, as the case may be,
rescinds the applicable Company Repurchase Notice or Supplemental
Repurchase Notice in accordance with this Agreement, as the case
may be.
(b) Company Repurchase Option
. In the event of the Termination of any Executive’s
employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries (or in the case of
Bill McNitt, if his employment is Terminated with the Thurston
Group), the Company may elect to purchase all
3
or any portion of the Eligible Shares by
delivering written notice (the “ Company Repurchase
Notice ”) to the holder or holders of the Eligible Shares
during the period beginning on the day after the date of
Termination of the Executive and ending on the 90
th day after the Termination of the Executive (the
“ Repurchase Period ”). The Company Repurchase
Notice shall set forth the Board’s determination of the Fair
Market Value of the Eligible Shares, the number of Eligible Shares
to be acquired by the Company from each holder of the Eligible
Shares, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and
the time and place for the closing of the transaction. At any time
prior to the closing of such transaction, the Company may rescind
the Company Repurchase Notice for any reason (including for no
reason at all) without liability to the holders of the Eligible
Shares. The shares to be repurchased by the Company shall first be
satisfied to the extent possible from the Series A Shares held by
the Executive at the time of delivery of the Company Repurchase
Notice. If the number of Series A Shares then held by the Executive
is less than the total number of Eligible Shares that the Company
has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining
Eligible Shares to be purchased from such Executive’s
Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Members Agreement) who are
holders of Eligible Shares under this Agreement, pro rata
according to the number of Eligible Shares held by such Permitted
Transferees at the time of delivery of such Company Repurchase
Notice (determined as close as practicable to the nearest whole
share). If for any reason the Company has not elected to purchase
all of the Eligible Shares pursuant to this Section 2(b), the
Company shall send written notice (the “ No-Purchase
Notice ”) of that election to the ABRY Investor and the
Company prior to the end of the Repurchase Period.
(c) Investor Repurchase
Option . If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the
Eligible Shares pursuant to Section 2(b) above, ABRY Investor
shall be entitled to purchase all or any portion of the Eligible
Shares that are not elected to be purchased by the Company (the
“ Available Shares ”). ABRY Investor may elect
to purchase any or all of the Available Shares by giving written
notice (the “ Supplemental Repurchase Notice ”)
to the holder or holders of the Available Shares at any time prior
to the later to occur of (i) the end of the Repurchase Period
and (ii) the 30 th day after the day on which the Company delivered
the Company Repurchase Notice or the No-Purchase Notice, as
applicable, to the Company and the holders of Available Shares. The
Supplemental Repurchase Notice shall set forth the number of
Available Shares to be acquired from each holder of Available
Shares, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and
the time and place for the closing of the transaction. At any time
prior to the closing of such transaction, ABRY Investor may rescind
the Supplemental Repurchase Notice for any reason (including for no
reason at all) without liability to the holders of Available
Shares. The shares to be repurchased by ABRY Investor shall first
