is implied either by ownership of Shares or by any provision of this Agreement.
7
4.5 Prohibition of Repurchase. In the event a repurchase of all or a
portion of a Stockholder's Shares pursuant to this Article 4 is prohibited or
would cause a default under the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document or
other agreement, instrument or law to which the Company is a party or may
otherwise be bound, the obligations of the Company and the rights of
Stockholders pursuant to this Article 4 shall be suspended until such time as

(the "Selling Stockholders") in one transaction or a series of related
transactions of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Voting Common Stock to
any Person or group of Persons other than, in the case of any Stockholder, an
Affiliate of such Stockholder (the "Proposed Purchaser"), each other Stockholder
shall have the right (the "Tag-Along Right") to require the Proposed Purchaser
to purchase from such other Stockholder a number of Shares owned by such
Stockholder equal to the total number of Shares to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders to the Proposed Purchaser (collectively, the "Transfer Shares")
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares
(including the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of options) owned by

the Selling Stockholders. The purchase price for any Shares purchased from each
Stockholder exercising Tag-Along Rights pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be
the same amount and form of consideration as that paid, directly or indirectly,
for the Shares being purchased from the Selling Stockholders.
(b) The Selling Stockholders proposing the Transfer shall, as soon as
practicable prior to such proposed Transfer, but in no event less than ten days
prior to such Transfer, give Notice to each other Stockholder of such proposed
Transfer. Such notice (the "Notice of Proposed Transfer") shall set forth: (i)
the total number of Shares outstanding prior to the proposed Transfer, (ii) the
number of Shares being so Transferred, (iii) the amount of consideration being
paid for the Shares, and (iv) the closing date, terms of payment and other terms
and conditions of the proposed Transfer.
8
(c) The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by a Stockholder giving
Notice to the Selling Stockholders, stating the number of Shares that such
Stockholder proposes to include in such Transfer to the Proposed Purchaser,
within five Business Days following such Stockholder's receipt of the Notice of
Proposed Transfer. If no such Notice to participate is received from any
Stockholder during such five-day period, the Selling Stockholders shall have the
right, for a 120-day period after the expiration of such five-day period, to
transfer the Shares specified in the Notice of Proposed Transfer to the Proposed
Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth therein.
5.2 Take-Along Right. In the event of a proposed Transfer by one or
more Stockholders (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to a
Person or Group of Persons other than, in the case of any Stockholder, an
Affiliate of such Stockholder, of 51% or more of the outstanding shares of
Voting Common Stock (the "Take-Along Selling Stockholders") to an unaffiliated
third party or propose to approve a sale of the assets to, or a merger of the
Company with, an unaffiliated third party, the Take-Along Selling Stockholders
shall have the right, exercisable upon fifteen (15) days' prior Notice to the
other Stockholders to consummate such sale of such Shares and to require other
Stockholders to sell to such third party the same proportionate part of their
respective Shares as the Take-Along Selling Stockholders propose to sell of the
Shares owned by them or to require the other Stockholders to approve such sale
of assets or merger, for a price per Share (if applicable) and otherwise upon
terms no less favorable to such other Stockholders than those on which the sale
or other transaction by the Take-Along Selling Stockholders is proposed to be
made.
5.3 Registration Rights. The Company hereby agrees that the
Stockholders shall have the right to include their Shares (including Shares
issuable upon the exercise of options) in any registration statement under the
Securities Act filed by the Company for the account of any of its holders of
Voting Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S-8) (a
"Piggy-Back Registration") upon terms and conditions no less favorable to such
Stockholders than those provided to the holders of warrants to purchase shares
of common stock pursuant to the Registration Rights and Stockholders' Agreement
between the Company and NatWest Capital Markets Limited being entered into by
the Company on the date hereof.
ARTICLE 6
RESTRICTIVE ENDORSEMENTS
6.1 Restrictive Endorsements.
(a) (i) Each certificate representing the Shares now or hereafter
held by a Stockholder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
The Shares represented by this Certificate are subject to an
Amended and Restated Exchange and Stockholders' Agreement (the
"Stockholders' Agreement") dated as of February 9, 2004, a copy of
which is on file at the offices of the Company and will be furnished
9
to any prospective purchasers on request. Such Stockholders' Agreement
provides, among other things, for certain restrictions on the sale,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Shares
represented by this Certificate, and that under certain circumstances
the holder hereof may be required to sell the Shares represented by
this Certificate. By acceptance of this Certificate, each holder
hereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of such Stockholders'
Agreement. The Shares represented by this Certificate have not been

Company.
"Business Day" means any day (other than a day which is a Saturday,

"Fair Market Value" shall mean, as of any date of determination with
respect to any Shares, the fair market value of such Shares as agreed to by the
Company and the applicable Stockholder or Stockholders obligated to sell Shares
pursuant to Article 4 hereof in any particular transaction. In the event the
Company and such Stockholders are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Value
within thirty (30) days following the event requiring a determination of Fair
Market Value, the Company and the holders of a Majority of the Shares held by
such Stockholders (the "Majority Holders") shall select an independent
investment banking firm to determine Fair Market Value. In the event the Company

the determination of Fair Market Value within ten (10) Business Days following

directly or indirectly. For purposes of this Agreement, Fair Market Value shall
mean the value that would be obtained for such Shares in the event all
outstanding shares of Voting Common Stock were sold in their entirety on that
date to an unaffiliated third party with neither the buyer or seller under any
compulsion to act, based on financial information of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the date of determination, but taking into account all
relevant factors relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, if
any, business developments since such date and all obligations and liabilities
(including all joint and several obligations and liabilities) of the Company and
its Subsidiaries), and without giving effect (a) to any discount for the lack of
(i) liquidity, (ii) public trading market for the Shares, or (ii) any voting
rights or lack thereof with respect to the Shares, (b) to the fact that the
Company and its Subsidiaries may have no equity securities registered under the
Exchange Act, or that the Stockholder has a minority interest in the Company,
(c) to any contract limitation in respect of the Shares, including their
transfer, voting and other rights, and (d) to the taxable nature of such sale
and the status of a Stockholder as a holder of a "minority interest" in the
Shares being valued. The fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
determination of Fair Market Value shall be shared equally by the Company, on
the one hand, and the affected Stockholders, on the other hand.
