SECTION 2. LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS OF STOCK AND INVESTMENTS
IN
COMPETITORS.
(a) During the term of this Agreement, no Stockholder shall
Transfer
any Stock (i) unless such Transfer is in accordance with all
applicable
securities laws or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and (ii)
without first
complying with the provisions of this Section 2. Any Transfer or
attempted
Transfer of any Stock in violation of any of the provisions of
this Section 2
shall be void, and the Corporation shall not record such
Transfer on its books
or treat any purported transferee of such Stock as the owner of
such Stock for
any purpose. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, no Transfer
of Stock shall become effective unless and until the transferee
executes and
delivers to the Corporation a Joinder to this Agreement pursuant
to Section 16
below (a "Joinder"), agreeing to be treated in the same manner
as the
transferring Stockholder (i.e., as a Preferred Stockholder, a
Management
Stockholder or a Common Stockholder), with respect to the Stock
so Transferred.
(b) Except as permitted by Section 5 of the Regulatory
Sideletter,
prior to August 10, 2003, no Preferred Stockholder shall
Transfer any shares of
Stock, whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise,
without the prior
approval of the Board; provided, however, that a Preferred
Stockholder may make
an Exempt Transfer of Stock without such prior approval of the
Board if the
recipient of such stock shall agree in writing with the Parties
to this
Agreement to be bound by and to comply with all applicable
provisions of this
Agreement and to be deemed a Preferred Stockholder.
(c) In addition to and not in limitation of Sections 2(a) and
(b),
during the term of this Agreement:
(i) each Stockholder shall not, at any time during the term
of
this Agreement, Transfer any Stock without first complying with
the provisions
of Section 3; provided, that a Stockholder may make an Exempt
Transfer of Stock
without complying with Section 3 if the recipient of such Stock
shall agree in
writing with the Parties to this Agreement to be bound by and to
comply with all
applicable provisions of this Agreement and to be deemed a
Preferred
Stockholder, a Management Stockholder or a Common Stockholder,
as the case may
be; and
(ii) each Preferred Stockholder shall not, at any time
during
the term of this Agreement, Transfer any Stock without first
complying with the
provisions of Section 4; provided, that a Preferred Stockholder
may make an

SECTION 3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 2, each Stockholder
hereby
agrees that he or it shall not Transfer any Stock (other than
Exempt Transfers),
except in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) In the event such Stockholder receives and determines to
accept
a bona fide arms length offer from a Person who is not an
Affiliate of such
Stockholder to acquire any Stock of such Stockholder, the
Selling Group shall
first deliver to the Corporation and each other Stockholder a
written notice
(the "Section 3 Offer Notice"), which shall be irrevocable for a
period of 15
Business Days after delivery thereof, offering (the "Section 3
Offer") all of
the Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Selling Group at the
purchase price
and on the terms specified therein (such Notice of Offer shall
include the
foregoing information and all other relevant terms of the
proposed Transfer).
The Corporation shall have the right and option, for a period of
5 Business Days
after receipt of the Section 3 Offer Notice, to accept all, but
not less than
all, of the Stock so offered at the purchase price and on the
terms stated in
the Section 3 Offer Notice. Such acceptance shall be made by
delivering a
written notice to the Selling Group within said 5 Business Day
period.
(b) If the Corporation fails to accept all of the Stock offered
for
sale pursuant to, or shall reject in writing, the Section 3
Offer, then the
other Stockholders shall have the right and option, for a period
of 10 Business
Days after the expiration of the 5 Business Day period in
Section 3(a), to
accept all, but not less than all, of the Stock so offered at
the purchase price
and on the terms stated in the Section 3 Offer Notice. Each
Stockholder may
exercise such purchase option and purchase all or any portion of
its
Proportionate Percentage of the Stock, by notifying the
Corporation and the
Selling Group in writing within 10 Business Days as to the
shares of Stock (up
to its full Proportionate Percentage) that it wishes to
purchase. If one or more
of the Stockholders do not fully exercise their right to
purchase their
respective Proportionate Percentage of the Stock pursuant to
this subparagraph
(b), the Corporation shall give written notice (the
"Reallocation Notice")
within 2 Business Days to all Stockholders, including the
Selling Group of such
fact, and the Stockholders who have elected to exercise their
rights to purchase
all of their Proportionate Percentage of the Stock pursuant to
this subparagraph
(b) (the "Participating Offerees") shall have the opportunity to
purchase all of
the shares of Stock with respect to which the right to purchase
was not
exercised pursuant to this subparagraph (b) (the "Non-Allocated
Stock"). The
Participating Offerees shall negotiate in good faith a written
agreement with
each other as to the reallocation of the right to purchase the
Non-Allocated
Stock and any such agreement shall be final and binding for
purposes of this
Section 3; provided, however, that if the Participating Offerees
cannot agree as
to the appropriate reallocation of such Non-Allocated Stock
within 3 Business
Days after receipt of the Reallocation Notice, because one or
more Participating
Offerees desire to purchase more than their respective pro rata
share of the
Non-Allocated Stock, then the portion of the Non-Allocated Stock
that each such
Participating Offeree shall be entitled to purchase shall be
reduced in
proportion to its respective outstanding ownership interest in
the Corporation
on the date of the Reallocation Notice until the sum of the
amounts allocated to
the Participating Offerees is equal in total to the
Non-Allocated
Fourth Amended and Restated EXECUTION
Stockholders' Agreement
14
<PAGE>
Stock; provided further, that such Participating Offeree that
desires to
purchase up to its full pro rata share of the Non-Allocated
Stock shall be
allocated the amount it desires to purchase. For purposes of
this subparagraph
(b), each Participating Offeree's pro rata share shall be a
fraction of the
Non-Allocated Stock, the numerator of which is the shares of
Common Stock, on a
Common Stock Equivalent Basis, on the date of the Reallocation
Notice held by
each Participating Offeree who desires to purchase any portion
of the
Non-Allocated Stock and the denominator of which is the sum of
the shares of
Common Stock, on a Common Stock Equivalent Basis, of all such
Participating
Offerees. The Participating Offerees shall have until the end of
the 10 Business
Day period specified in the first sentence of this subparagraph
(b) to accept
all, but not less than all, of the Stock and to deliver to the
Corporation and
the Selling Group a written agreement with respect to the
purchase of the
Non-Allocated Stock pursuant to the terms of this subparagraph
(b).
(c) A notice of acceptance delivered by either the Corporation
or a
Stockholder, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3(a) or
Section 3(b), shall
be an irrevocable and binding commitment to purchase the Stock
referred to
therein.
(d) Transfers of Stock under the terms of Sections 3(a) and
3(b)
shall be made at the offices of the Corporation on a mutually
satisfactory
Business Day within 10 days after the expiration of the last
applicable period
described in Section 3(b) above. Delivery of certificates or
other instruments
evidencing such Stock duly endorsed for transfer shall be made
on such date
against payment of the purchase price therefor.
(e) If effective acceptance shall not be received pursuant
to
Sections 3(a) or 3(b) with respect to all Stock offered for sale
pursuant to the
Section 3 Offer Notice, then the Selling Group may Transfer all,
but not less
than all, of the Stock so offered and not so accepted, but only
in compliance
with Section 2(b) hereof and upon terms and conditions in all
material respects,
including, without limitation, price and interest rates, which
are no more
favorable, in the aggregate, to the purchaser thereof than those
set forth in
the Section 3 Offer Notice, at any time within 90 days after the
expiration of
the offer required by Sections 3(a) and 3(b). In the event that
the Stock is not
Transferred by the Selling Group during such 90-day period, the
right of the
Selling Group to Transfer such Stock shall expire and the
obligations of this
Section 3 shall be reinstated.
SECTION 4. RIGHT OF CO-SALE.
(a) In the event that any Preferred Stockholder (hereinafter,
the
"Section 4 Offeree") receives and determines to accept a bona
fide arms length
offer (the "Section 4 Offer") from a third party that is not an
Affiliate of
such Preferred Stockholder (the "Section 4 Offeror") to purchase
all or any
portion of the shares of Stock held by such Preferred
Stockholder (other than
Exempt Transfers) for a specified price payable in cash or
otherwise and on
specified terms and conditions, such Section 4 Offeree shall
promptly forward a
notice complying with Section 4(b) (the "Section 4 Notice") to
the other
Stockholders. Subject to Section 4(c), the Section 4 Offeree
shall not Transfer
any Stock to the Section 4 Offeror unless the terms of the
Section 4 Offer are
extended to the other Stockholders with respect to their
Proportionate
Percentage of the aggregate number of shares of Stock to which
the Section 4
Offer relates, whereupon each other Stockholder shall be
entitled to Transfer to
the Section 4 Offeror pursuant to the Section 4 Offer,
Fourth Amended and Restated EXECUTION
Stockholders' Agreement
15
<PAGE>
such other Stockholder's Proportionate Percentage of the
aggregate number of
shares of Stock to which the Section 4 Offer relates.
(b) The Section 4 Notice shall set forth (i) the number of
shares of
Stock to which the Section 4 Offer relates and the name of the
Section 4
Offeree, (ii) the name and address of the Section 4 Offeror,
(iii) the proposed
amount and type of consideration (including, if the
consideration consists in
whole or in part of non-cash consideration, such information
available to the
Section 4 Offeree as may be reasonably necessary for the
Stockholders to
properly analyze the economic value and investment risk of such
non-cash
consideration) and the terms and conditions of payment offered
by the Section 4
Offeror and (iv) that the Section 4 Offeror has been informed of
the co-sale
rights provided for in this Section 4 and has agreed to purchase
Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Section 4.
(c) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
but
subject to Section 2, the Section 4 Offeree shall, in addition
to complying with
the provisions of this Section 4, comply with the provisions of
Section 3 (it
being understood that the Section 3 Offer Notice contemplated by
Section 3(a)
and the Section 4 Notice may be included in a single notice),
and each
Stockholder, prior to Transferring any Stock to the Section 4
Offeror, shall
comply with the provisions of Section 3.
SECTION 5. REPURCHASE RIGHT.
(a) Repurchase of Common Stock in the Event of Termination
of
Employment. In the event of a termination of a Management
Stockholder's
employment by or service to the Corporation for any reason
whatsoever other than
the death of such Management Stockholder (a "Repurchase Event"),
such Management
Stockholder and the transferee(s) thereof following an Exempt
Transfer pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, if any (collectively, the
"Management Group"),
shall be required to offer to sell to the Corporation and its
Designees (as
defined below, and collectively with the Corporation, the
"Corporation Group")
the Common Stock held by such Management Group pursuant to the
terms of this
Section 5.
(i) In the event a Repurchase Event occurs, the Corporation
shall have the right (but not the obligation) (the "Repurchase
Right")
during the 90-day period following such Repurchase Event (the
"Repurchase
Period") to purchase all or any portion of all of the Stock held
by the
Management Group (the "Repurchase Shares") in accordance with
the
provisions of this Section 5(a). During the Repurchase Period,
the
Corporation shall provide written notice of the occurrence of a
Repurchase
Event to the Board and the Management Group, which notice shall
include
the number of Repurchase Shares held by the Management Group
(the
"Repurchase Notice"). The Corporation shall, as promptly as
practicable
after a Repurchase Event, provide written notice to the
Management Group
of the determination of the Fair Market Value of the Repurchase
Shares,
with the date of determination thereof pursuant to the terms of
this
Agreement being hereinafter referred to as the "FMV
Determination Date."
The Corporation may initially elect to purchase all, or any
portion, of
the Repurchase Shares at a price equal to the Fair Market Value
thereof by
delivering a written notice of such election to the Management
Group at
any time during the Repurchase Period; provided, however, that
in the
event of a Repurchase Event caused by the termination for Cause
of the
Management
Fourth Amended and Restated EXECUTION
Stockholders' Agreement
16
<PAGE>
Stockholder, the purchase price of the Repurchase Shares shall
be equal to
the lower of the Original Cost and the Fair Market Value
thereof; provided
further, however, that the Corporation's right to repurchase the
Stock at
the lower of Original Cost and the Fair Market Value shall lapse
at the
rate of 20% of the shares of Stock per year from the date the
option to
purchase such shares of Stock was granted (without respect to
the date the
option was exercised or became exercisable). Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, the Corporation's Repurchase Right shall expire on
the date the
Corporation's securities become publicly traded.
(ii) If the Corporation elects to purchase less than all of
the Repurchase Shares, the Corporation shall be permitted to
designate
(the "Repurchase Designation") to one or more designees (each,
a
"Designee") the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from
the
Management Group the Repurchase Shares not being purchased by
the
Corporation (such shares being the "Designated Shares"), subject
to terms
of this paragraph and Section 16 below. The Corporation shall,
as promptly
as practicable after a Repurchase Designation, provide written
notice (the
"Designation Notice") to each Investor of the number of
Designated Shares,
the name and address of each Designee and the Fair Market Value
of the
Designated Shares. Each Investor may elect to purchase up to
such
Investor's Proportionate Percentage of the Designated Shares at
a price
equal to the purchase price for such Designated Shares
determined pursuant
to Section 5(a)(i) above by delivering a written notice of such
election
(the "Election Notice") to the Corporation within 10 Business
Days of
receipt of the Designation Notice. If the Corporation receives
an Election
Notice from an Investor, then the Corporation shall designate to
such
Investor the right to purchase that number of Designated Shares
set forth
in the Election Notice, subject to the limitations set forth in
the
preceding sentence. The number of Repurchase Shares shall be
reduced by
the aggregate number of Designated Shares set forth in the
Election
Notices, if any, received by the Corporation from the Investors.
Each
Designee shall only be permitted to purchase the number of
Repurchase
Shares (if any) equal to such Designee's pro rata portion of the
aggregate
number of Designated Shares, minus the aggregate number of
shares for
which Election Notices were received by the Corporation.
(iii) The number of shares of Stock to be purchased by the
Corporation, the Designees and/or the Investors (as applicable)
shall
first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Repurchase
Shares held
by the Management Stockholder at the time of the distribution by
the
Corporation of the Repurchase Notice. If the number of
Repurchase Shares
then held by the Management Stockholder is less than the total
number of
Repurchase Shares the Corporation, the Designees and/or the
Investors (as
applicable) have elected to purchase, the Corporation, the
Designees
and/or the Investors (as applicable) shall purchase the
remaining
Repurchase Shares elected to be purchased from the other members
of the
Management Group pro rata according to the number of Repurchase
Shares
held by such other members of the Management Group at the time
of
distribution of such Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly
as
practicable to the nearest share).
(b) Repurchase Upon Death of Management Stockholder. In the
event of
the death of any Management Stockholder (including a death that
occurs while the
Management
Fourth Amended and Restated EXECUTION
Stockholders' Agreement
17
<PAGE>
Stockholder is employed or retained by the Corporation or an
Affiliate thereof)
(a "Decedent"), the provisions of paragraph (a) above shall
apply as if a
Repurchase Event had occurred; provided, however, that (i) the
Repurchase Notice
required to be delivered by the Corporation to the Board shall
be delivered to
the personal representative of the Decedent promptly after being
appointed as
such, (ii) the Management Stockholder, for purposes of Section
5(a) above, shall
be the Decedent's personal representative and (iii) the
Management Group shall
include the Decedent and the transferee(s) thereof following an
Exempt Transfer.
The Corporation may, at its option, maintain life insurance on
the lives of any
Management Stockholder for the purpose of financing the
acquisition of all or a
portion of Shares being repurchased from such Management
Stockholder pursuant to
this Section 5(b). The proceeds of any such life insurance (the
"Life Insurance
Proceeds") shall be payable to the Corporation. Each Management
Stockholder
agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Corporation in
connection with obtaining
any such life insurance.
(c) Payment of Purchase Price.
(i) In the event that the Corporation terminates the
Management Stockholder's employment or service without Cause,
the purchase
price payable by the Corporation, the Designees and/or the
Investors (as
applicable) pursuant to Section 5(a) or (b) above shall be
payable in cash
within 90 days after delivery of the Repurchase Notice.
(ii) In the event that the Management Stockholder terminates
his employment with the Corporation or the Corporation
terminates such
employment for Cause, the purchase price payable by the
Corporation, the
Designees and/or the Investors (as applicable) pursuant to
