hereof, Endo LLC shall have the right to purchase from a Management Stockholder,
and such Management Stockholder shall have the obligation to sell to Endo LLC,
all, but not less than all, of the shares of Common Stock owned by such
Management Stockholder:
(i) at the fair market value of such shares, as determined
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof ("Fair Market Value"), if such Management

death or Disability (as defined in Section 4.3 hereof) of such Management
Stockholder; and
(ii) at the lesser of the Fair Market Value and the Carrying
Value (as defined in Section 4.2 hereof) of such shares, if such Management
Stockholder's employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries with Cause.
4
(b) In the event that Endo LLC does not exercise such right to
purchase the shares of Common Stock from a Management Stockholder by giving
notice within the 30-day period referred to in Section 3.2 hereof, Xxxxx, or a
party designated by Xxxxx, shall have the right to purchase, at its option, the
shares of Common Stock referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof from such
Management Stockholder, by giving notice not later than the end of the
succeeding 10-day period.
(c) In the event that the purchase of, or the payment for, some or all
of the shares of Common Stock referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof by Endo LLC
is prohibited under Article V hereof, subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, an
Initial Management Stockholder may elect, at his or her option, to purchase some
or all of such shares of Common Stock, within 20 days of the determination by
Endo LLC that its purchase of, or its payment for, such shares would be
prohibited by Article V hereof.
2.2 Notice. If Endo LLC desires to purchase shares of Common Stock
------
from a Management Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, it shall notify
such Management Stockholder not more than 30 days after the occurrence of the
event giving rise to Endo LLC's right to acquire such Management Stockholder's
shares of Common Stock (or in the case of the Management Stockholder's death, it
shall notify such Management Stockholder's estate within 30 days of notice to
Endo LLC of the Management Stockholder's death). If Endo LLC does not deliver
such notice within such 30-day period and Xxxxx (or its designee) desires to
purchase such shares, then Xxxxx (or its designee) shall notify such Management
Stockholder not later than the end of the succeeding 10-day period.
2.3 Payment.
-------
(a) Subject to Article V and Section 3.4 hereof, payment for shares
of Common Stock purchased pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and (b) hereof shall be
made on the date that is (i) in any case in which the price to be paid for such
shares may only be the Carrying Value thereof, the 30/th/ business day following
the date on which notice is given pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, or (ii) in all
other cases, the 15/th/ business day following the date of the determination of
Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof.
5
(b) If the termination of employment of such Management Stockholder
is as a result of his or her resignation without Good Reason, and:
(i) if the date of termination of employment occurs prior to
December 1, 2002, then the purchase price of the purchased shares shall be
paid within 15 days following the surrender of the certificates
representing the purchased shares, and
(ii) if the date of termination of employment occurs on or after
December 1, 2002, then the portion of the purchase price of the
purchased shares equal to the Carrying Value of such shares on the
date of termination of employment shall be paid by the 15/th/ day
following the surrender of the certificates representing the purchased
shares and the remainder shall be paid on the last day of the 18/th/
month following the date of termination of employment.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the termination
of employment of a Management Stockholder giving rise to Endo LLC's right to
acquire such Management Stockholder's shares of Common Stock results from the
death or Disability of such Management Stockholder prior to December 1, 2002,
then such Management Stockholder shall have the right to elect (which election
shall be irrevocable), within 90 days of the receipt of the notice specified in
Section 3.2 hereof, to defer the effectiveness of Endo LLC's purchase right with
respect to all or any portion of such Management Stock holder's shares of Common
Stock until December 1, 2002. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such election
may be made by such Management Stockholder with respect to a portion of such
Management Stockholder's shares of Common Stock unless such election is made
with respect to at least one-third of the shares of Common Stock owned by such
Management Stockholder at the time of such termination of employment. If a
Management Stockholder shall fail to make an election with respect to when Endo
LLC's purchase right shall be effective, such Management Stock holder shall be
deemed to have elected to have Endo LLC's purchase right be effective
immediately with respect to all of such Management Stockholder's shares of
Common Stock.
6
In the event Endo LLC's purchase right with respect to all or any
portion of any shares of Common Stock is not effective until December 1, 2002 by
reason of the election made by a Management Stockholder under this Section
3.3(c), December 1, 2002 shall be deemed to be the date of termination for
purposes of determining the purchase price to be paid for the shares of Common
Stock to be purchased after December 1, 2002. Endo LLC shall, subject to
Article V hereof, pay to such Management Stockholder whose employment so
terminates the Fair Market Value of such shares by the 15/th/ day following the
date of determination of Fair Market Value with respect to such deemed
termination date.
(d) Any payments based on Fair Market Value required to be made by
Endo LLC under this Section 3.3 shall accrue interest at 6% simple interest per
annum on the amounts not paid from the date of termination of employment (or the
date of deemed termination, including with respect to the election made pursuant
to Section 3.3(c) hereof) to the date Endo LLC makes such payments.
2.4 Postponement, etc.
------------------
(a) The date of payment and closing of any purchase and sale under
this Article III may be postponed to the extent necessary to permit such
purchase and sale under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976, as amended, and the regulations promulgated there under, if applicable to
such sale. No party shall be required to consummate any purchase and sale under
this Article III until such time as such transaction would not violate
applicable law, other than violations which would not have a direct or indirect
material adverse effect on such party.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article III, in
no event shall any sale of Common Stock that was received by a Management
Stockholder upon the exercise of an employee stock option occur prior to the
six-month anniversary of such exercise.
7

terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below, except with respect to

agreements with the Company which define such terms differently, in which case
such terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in such Initial Management
Stockholder's respective employment agreement (or the employment agreements of
such other Management Stockholders as determined, from time to time, by
resolution of the LLC Board):
(a) Cause. The term "Cause" used in connection with a termination of
-----
employment of a Management Stockholder shall mean a termination of such
Management Stockholder's employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries

of its subsidiaries (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due
to reasonably documented physical illness or injury or mental illness), (ii) the
engagement by such Management Stockholder in serious misconduct that causes, or

to the Company or any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, (A) the
disclosure of material secret or confidential information of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries (B) the potential debarment of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any successor agency
(the "FDA"), or (C) the possibility that the registration of the Company or any
---

successor agency (the "DEA") could be revoked or an application with the DEA
---
could be denied, (iii) the potential debarment of such Management Stockholder
by the FDA, or (iv) the material breach by the Management Stockholder of this
Agreement or any other agreement between such Management Stockholder, on the one
hand, and the Company or Xxxxx, on the other hand.
(b) Good Reason. A termination of a Management Stockholder's
-----------
employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be for "Good
----
Reason" if such Management Stockholder voluntarily terminates his or her
employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a result of any of the
following:
(i) without the Management Stock holder's prior written consent,
a material reduction by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in his or
her current salary, other than any such reduction which is part of a
general salary reduction or other concessionary arrangement affecting all
employees or affecting the group of employees of which the Management
Stockholder is a member;
(ii) the taking of any action by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries that would substantially diminish the aggregate value of the
benefits provided him or her under the Company's or any such subsidiary's
medical, health, accident, disability, life insurance, thrift and
retirement
9
plans in which he or she was participating on the date of his or her
execution of this Agreement, other than any such reduction that is (A)
required by law, (B) implemented in connection with a general concessionary
arrangement affecting all employees or affecting the group of employees of
which the Management Stockholder is a member or (C) generally applicable to
all beneficiaries of such plans; or
(iii) the assignment to the Management Stockholder of duties
inconsistent with his or her status within the Company, or a substantial
adverse alteration in the nature or status of his or her responsibilities
from those in effect on the date hereof.
(c) Disability. The termination of the employment of any Management
----------
Stockholder by the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to be by
reason of a "Disability" if, as a result of such Management Stockholder's
----------
incapacity due to reasonably documented physical illness or injury or mental
illness, such Management Stockholder shall have been unable for more than six
months within any 12-month period to perform his or her duties with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries on a full time basis and within 30 days after written
notice of termination has been given to such Management Stock holder, such
Management Stockholder shall not have re turned to the full time performance of
his or her duties. The date of termination in the case of a termination for
"Disability" shall be the last day of the aforementioned 30-day period.
ARTICLE IV
PROHIBITION ON PURCHASES
4.1 Prohibited Purchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
--------------------
herein, Endo LLC shall not be permitted or obligated to purchase any shares of
Common Stock from a Management Stockholder (or make any payment for any
purchased shares of Common Stock) pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 3.1 hereof
to the extent (i) Endo LLC or the Company (if the Company were to be the sole
source of the funds necessary to make any such payment or purchase) is
prohibited from purchasing such shares (or incurring debt to finance the
purchase of such shares or
10
making payment for such purchased shares) by any debt instruments or other
agreements (the "Agreements") entered into by Endo LLC,
----------
the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or by applicable law, (ii)
an event of default under any Agreement has occurred and is continuing or a
condition exists which would, with notice or lapse of time or both, result in an
event of default under any Agreement or (iii) the purchase of such shares by
Endo LLC or the Company (if the Company were to be the sole source of the funds
necessary to make any such payment or purchase) (including the incurrence of any
debt which in the judgment of the LLC Board is necessary to finance such
purchase or the payment for such purchased shares) (A) could, in the judgment
of the LLC Board, result in the occurrence of an event of default under any
Agreement or create a condition which would or might, with notice or lapse of
time or both, result in an event of default under any Agreement, (B) would, in
the judgment of the LLC Board, be imprudent in view of the financial condition
(present or projected) of Endo LLC and its subsidiaries, if any, taken as a
whole, or the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the anticipated
impact of the purchase of (or payment for) such shares on Endo LLC's, the
Company's (if the Company were to be the sole source of the funds necessary to
make any such payment or purchase) or any of their respective subsidiaries'
ability to meet their respective obligations, including under any Agreement or
(C) could, in the judgment of the LLC Board, constitute a fraudulent conveyance
or transfer or render Endo LLC or the Company (if the Company were to be the
sole source of the funds necessary to make any such payment or purchase)
insolvent under applicable law or violate limitations in the Delaware General
Corporation Law on repurchases of stock. If shares of Common Stock which Endo
LLC has the right or obligation to purchase (or make payment for) on any date
exceed the total amount permitted to be purchased on such date pursuant to the
preceding sentence (the "Maximum Amount"), Endo LLC shall purchase (or pay for)
--------------
on such date only that number of shares of Common Stock up to the Maximum Amount
(and shall not be required to purchase more than the Maximum Amount) in such
amounts as the LLC Board shall in good faith determine, applying the following
order of priority:
(a) first, the shares of Common Stock of all Management Stockholders
whose shares of Common Stock are being (or were) purchased by Endo LLC by reason
of termination
11
of employment due to death or Disability up to the Maximum Amount and, to the
extent that the number of shares of Common Stock that Endo LLC is obligated or
has the right to purchase (or pay for) from such Management Stockholders exceeds
the Maximum Amount, such shares of Common Stock pro rata among such Management
Stockholders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock held by each
of such Management Stockholders that Endo LLC is obligated or has the right to
purchase (or pay for), and
(b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Amount is in excess of the
amount Endo LLC purchases (or pays for) pursuant to clause (a) above, the shares
of Common Stock of all Management Stockholders whose shares of Common Stock are
being (or were) purchased (or paid for) by Endo LLC by reason of termination of
employment without Cause or due to Retirement or resignation for Good Reason up
to the Maximum Amount and, to the extent that the number of shares of Common
Stock that Endo LLC is obligated or has the right to purchase from such
Management Stockholders exceeds the Maximum Amount, such shares of Common Stock
pro rata among such Management Stockholders on the basis of the number of shares
of Common Stock held by each of such Management Stockholders that Endo LLC is
obligated or has the right to purchase (or pay for), and
(c) third, to the extent the Maximum Amount is in excess of the
amounts Endo LLC purchases (or pays for) pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above,
the shares of Common Stock of all Management Stockholders whose shares of Common
Stock are being (or were) purchased (or paid for) by Endo LLC for any other
reason up to the Maximum Amount and, to the extent that the number of shares of
Common Stock that Endo LLC is obligated or has the right to purchase (or pay
for) from such Management Stockholders exceeds the Maximum Amount, the shares
of Common Stock of such Management Stockholders in such order of priority and in
such amounts as the LLC Board in its sole discretion shall in good faith
determine to be appropriate under the circumstances.
Subject to Sections 2.1(c)and 3.1(c) hereof, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Endo LLC is unable to purchase
any Management Stockholder's shares pursuant to Section 2.1 or 3.1 of this
Agreement by reason of this Article V (or make any payment for any purchased
shares), Endo LLC may
12
nonetheless in the case of Section 3.1 hereof exercise its option to purchase
such shares and in the case of purchases pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 3.1 hereof
shall purchase (or make payment for) such shares at the earliest practicable
date permitted under this Article V and any payment therefor shall accrue simple
interest (or if such payment is accruing interest at such time, shall continue
to accrue interest) at 6% per annum from the date such payment would have been
made but for this Article V to the date such payment is actually made. All
payments of interest accrued hereunder shall be paid only at the date of payment
by Endo LLC for the shares of Common Stock being purchased. Any shares as to
which Endo LLC has exercised its right to purchase pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof may not otherwise be sold by the Management Stockholder notwithstanding
non-payment there for pursuant to this Article V.
ARTICLE V
SALES TO THIRD PARTIES
5.1 General. No Management Stockholders shall sell any of his or her
-------
shares of Common Stock to a third party for the term of this Agreement; provided
--------
that such restriction shall not apply to any sale or other trans action
----
described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 1.1 hereof or to any sale pursuant to
a Registration under the Act, subject to Article VII hereof. Endo LLC may not
sell the shares of Common Stock it owns to a third party at any time after the
date of this Agreement unless Endo LLC as transferor first complies with Section
6.4 hereof.
5.2 Agreements to Be Bound. Notwithstanding anything contained in
----------------------
this Article VI, any sale to a third party or any Involuntary Transfer (as
defined in Section 6.3 hereof) to an Involuntary Transferee (as defined in
Section 6.3 hereof) shall be permitted under the terms of this Agreement only if
such third party or Involuntary Transferee, as the case may be, shall agree in
writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to an
instrument of assumption reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Endo
LLC.
5.3 Involuntary Transfers. In the case of any transfer of title or
---------------------
beneficial ownership of shares
13
of Common Stock upon default, foreclosure, forfeit, divorce, court order, or
otherwise than by a voluntary decision on the part of a Management Stockholder
(an "Involuntary Transfer"), Endo LLC shall have the right to purchase such
--------------------
shares pursuant to this Section 6.3. Upon the Involuntary Transfer of any shares
of Common Stock, such Management Stockholder shall promptly (but in no event
later than two days after such Involuntary Transfer) furnish written notice (the
"Notice") to Endo LLC indicating that the Involuntary Transfer has occurred,
------
specifying the name of the person to whom such shares have been transferred (the
"Involuntary Transferee") and giving a detailed description of the circumstances
----------------------
giving rise to, and stating the legal basis for, the Involuntary Transfer. Upon
the receipt of the Notice, and for 30 days thereafter, Endo LLC shall have the
right to purchase, and the Involuntary Transferee shall have the obligation to
sell, all, but not less than all, of the shares of Common Stock acquired by the
Involuntary Transferee for a purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair
Market Value of such shares of Common Stock on the date of transfer to the
Involuntary Transferee and (ii) the amount of the indebtedness or other
liability that gave rise to the Involuntary Transfer plus the excess, if any, of
the Carrying Value of such shares of Common Stock over the amount of such
indebtedness or other liability that gave rise to the Involuntary Transfer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LLC Board may, for good cause shown
by the Management Stockholder who made the Involuntary Transfer, determine that
payment of a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of
Common Stock on the date of transfer to the Involuntary Transferee would be
appropriate under the circumstances, and direct that payment be made in such
amount.
Xxxxx shall have the right to require Endo LLC to assign to Xxxxx (or
a designee of Xxxxx) Endo LLC's right to purchase pursuant to this Section 6.3.

5.4 Tag- and Drag-Along Rights.
--------------------------
(a) Tag-Along Rights. Endo LLC shall not, in any one transaction or
----------------
any series of similar transactions not effected through a broker or over a
national securities exchange, Transfer more than 25% of the shares of Common
Stock it owns as of the date of the Merger, except pursuant to Section 6.4(b)
hereof, to any third party or parties unaffiliated with Endo LLC (a "Third
-----
Party") unless the Management Stockholders (collectively, the "Offerees"), are
--------
offered the right, at the option of each Offeree, to include in such Transfer to
the Third Party such number of shares of Common Stock then owned by each such
Offeree, as determined in accordance with this Section 6.4(a). If Endo LLC
receives from a Third Party a bona fide offer or offers to Transfer which it
intends to accept, or proposes to Transfer to a Third Party, shares of its
Common Stock, Endo LLC shall provide written notice (the "Tag-Along Notice") to
----------------
each of the Offerees, setting forth the consideration per share to be paid by
such Third Party and the other material terms and conditions of such
transaction. The Tag-Along Notice shall offer the Offerees the opportunity to
participate in the proposed Transfer of shares to the Third Party according to
the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4(a) and for the same type of
consideration and for an amount of consideration per share not less than that
offered to Endo LLC by the Third Party. At any time within 20 days after its
receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, each of the Offerees may irrevocably accept the
offer included in the Tag-Along Notice for up to such number of shares of Common
Stock as is determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(a)
by furnishing written notice of such acceptance to Endo LLC. Promptly following
such acceptance by an Offeree, each such Offeree shall deliver to Endo LLC the
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock to be
Transferred pursuant to such offer by such Offeree, together with a limited
power-of-attorney authorizing Endo LLC to sell or otherwise dispose of such
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the proposed Transfer to the Third Party.
Each Offeree shall have the right to participate in the proposed
Transfer to the Third Party by Transferring in connection therewith shares of
Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares to be
acquired by the Third Party, times (y) a
15
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock then owned by such Offeree, and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock then owned by Endo LLC plus the total number of
shares of Common Stock then owned by the Offerees. The maximum number of shares
of Common Stock that may be Transferred by each Offeree to the Third Party in
accordance with this Section 6.4(a) shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock then owned by such Offeree.
If within 20 days after the receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, any
Offeree has not accepted the offer contained in the Tag-Along Notice, such
Offeree will be deemed to have waived any and all rights with respect to, or to
participate in, the Transfer of Common Stock described in the Tag-Along Notice
and Endo LLC shall have 45 days in which to Transfer not more than the amount of
Common Stock described in the Tag-Along Notice, for an amount and type of
consideration per share not materially more favorable to Endo LLC than was set
forth in the Tag-Along Notice. If, at the end of 65 days following the receipt
of the Tag-Along Notice, Endo LLC has not completed the Transfer of Common
Stock of Endo LLC and Common Stock of any Offeree, Endo LLC shall return to such
Offeree all certificates representing shares of Common Stock which such Offeree
delivered for Transfer pursuant to this Section 6.4(a), and all the restrictions
on sale or other disposition contained in this Agreement with respect to Common
Stock then or thereafter owned by the Offeree shall again be in effect.
As promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 5 days) after
the consummation of the Transfer of Common Stock of Endo LLC and Common Stock of
the Offerees to the Third Party in accordance with this Section 6.4(a), Endo LLC
shall notify the Offerees thereof, shall remit to each of the Offerees the total
consideration in respect of the shares of Common Stock of such Offeree which
were so Transferred, and shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and
time of completion of such Transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably
requested by the Offerees.
16
(b) Drag-Along Rights. If Endo LLC shall propose to Transfer at
-----------------
least 60% of all shares of Common Stock then owned by Endo LLC to a Third Party,
then (in addition to the rights of the Management Stockholders to participate in
such Transfer pursuant to Section 6.4(a) hereof) Endo LLC may, at its option,
require the Management Stockholders (collectively, the "Remaining Holders") to
-----------------
include in such Transfer to the Third Party such number of shares of Common
Stock then owned by such Remaining Holder, as determined in accordance with this
Section 6.4(b).
Endo LLC shall send written notice (the "Drag-Along Notice") of the
-----------------
exercise of their rights pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) to each of the
Remaining Holders, setting forth the consideration per share to be paid by the
Third Party and the other material terms and conditions of such transaction.
The Drag-Along Notice shall state that the Remaining Holders shall be required
to participate in the proposed Transfer of shares of Common Stock to the Third
Party according to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4(b) and for the
same type of consideration and for an amount of consideration per share not less
than that offered to Endo LLC by the Third Party. Within 15 days following the
receipt of the Drag-Along Notice, each of the Remaining Holders shall deliver to
a representative of Endo LLC designated in the Drag-Along Notice certificates
representing all shares of Common Stock held by such Remaining Holder, duly
endorsed, together with all other documents required to be executed in
connection with such transaction. In the event that any Remaining Holder should
fail to deliver such certificates to Endo LLC, the Company shall cause the books
and records of the Company to show that such shares are bound by the provisions
of this Section 6.4(b) and that such shares may be Transferred only to the Third
Party.
Each Remaining Holder shall be required to participate in the
proposed Transfer to the Third Party by Transferring in connection therewith
shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares to
be acquired by the Third Party, times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
17
then owned by such Remaining Holder, and the denominator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Common Stock then owned by Endo LLC plus the total
number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Remaining Holders. The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be Transferred by each
Remaining Holder to the Third Party in accordance with this Section 6.4(b) shall
be the total number of shares of Common Stock then owned by such Remaining
Holder.
If, within 120 days after Endo LLC gave the Drag-Along Notice, it
shall not have completed the Transfer of all the shares of Common Stock of the
Remaining Holders in accordance with this Section 6.4(b), Endo LLC shall return
to each of the Remaining Holders all certificates representing shares of Common
Stock that such Remaining Holder delivered for Transfer pursuant hereto and that
were not purchased pursuant to this Section 6.4(b).
Promptly (but in no event later than 5 days) after the consummation of
the Transfer of Common Stock of Endo LLC and Remaining Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.4(b), Endo LLC shall give notice thereof to the Remaining Holders,
shall remit to each of the Remaining Holders the total consideration in respect
of the shares of Common Stock of such Remaining Holder which were so
transferred, and shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of
completion of such Transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested
by such Remaining Holders.
ARTICLE VI
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
6.1 Incidental Registration. If Endo LLC, pursuant to that certain
-----------------------
registration rights agreement, dated as of ______ __, 2000, by and between the
Company and Endo LLC (the "Endo LLC Registration Rights Agreement"), demands
---------------------------------------
that the Company register any of its shares of Common Stock or any other of its
common equity securities (collectively, "Other Securities") under the Act for
----------------
sale for cash to the public under the Act, then Endo LLC will at such time give
prompt written notice to each any Management Stockholder or any of their
respective Permitted Transferees (each, a "Holder") of its intention to do so
------
and of the rights of such Holder under this Section 7.1, at least 20 days prior
to the Company's anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating
to such demand registration. Such
18
notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to include in such
registration statement such number of shares of Common Stock as such Holder may
request, in accordance with this Section 7.1. Upon the written request of a
Holder made within 10 days after the receipt of the Endo LLC's notice (which
request shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock intended to be
disposed of and the intended method of disposition thereof), Endo LLC will use
its best efforts to cause the Company to effect, in connection with the
registration of the Other Securities, the registration under the Act of all
shares of Common Stock which the Company has been so requested to register, to
the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with such intended
methods of disposition) of such shares of Common Stock so requested to be
registered, provided that:
-------- ----
(a) if, at any time after Endo LLC has given such written notice of
the Company's intention to register any Other Securities pursuant to a demand
by Endo LLC and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed
in connection with such demand registration, Endo LLC shall determine for any
reason not to demand such registration, Endo LLC shall give written notice of
such determination to the Holders, and thereup on the Company shall be relieved
of its obligation to register the shares of Common Stock requested to be
registered in connection with the demand registration of such Other Securities;
(b) if the registration referred to in the first sentence of Section
7.1(a) hereof is to be an underwritten registration on behalf of the Company,
and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company in writing that, in such
firm's opinion, such offering would be materially and adversely affected by the
inclusion there in of any of the Common Stock requested to be included therein,
the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, all securities for
which Endo LLC has demanded registration ("Endo LLC Securities"), (ii) second,
-------------------
up to the full number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such
registration by the Management Stock holders, which, in the good faith opinion
of such firm, can be so sold without so materially and adversely affecting such
offering (and, if less than the full number of such shares of Common Stock,
allocated pro rata among the Management Stockholders on the basis of the number
of shares of Common Stock
19
requested to be included therein by the Management Stockholders); provided,
--------
however, that with respect to the Management Stockholders, if the underwriter in
-------
connection with such registration deter mines that such offering would be
materially and adversely affected by the inclusion of Common Stock owned by the
Management Stockholders for reasons including, but not limited to, the status of
the owners of such securities as Management Stockholders such underwriter may in
its sole discretion exclude all or, in such manner as either in its sole
discretion deems appropriate, the Common Stock owned by Management Stockholders
from such offering, and (iii) third, an amount of other securities, if any,
requested to be included therein in excess of the number or dollar amount of
Company Securities and Common Stock of the Holders which, in the opinion of such
firm, can be so sold without materially and adversely affecting such offering
(allocated among the holders of such other securities in such proportions as
such holders and the Company may agree); and
(c) no registration of Common Stock effected under this Section 7.1
shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect a registration of shares
of Common Stock pursuant to the Endo LLC Registration Rights Agreement.
6.2 Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses in connection with
--------
any registration pursuant to this Article VII (including any registration not
consummated as contemplated by Section 7.1(a) hereof) and any other actions
that may be taken in connection with any such registration as contemplated by
this Article VII; provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to
-------- -------
pay underwriting discounts or commissions or transfer taxes, if any, relating to
the sale or disposition of shares sold pursuant to any such registration.
6.3 Holdback and Other Agreements.
-----------------------------
(a) If and whenever the Company proposes to register any of its
equity securities under the Securities Act for its own account (other than on
Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form) or is required to use its best efforts to
effect the registration of any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, each Holder agrees by acquisition of such shares
of Common Stock not to effect any sale or distribution,
20
including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or to request
registration under Section 7.1 hereof of any shares of Common Stock within seven
days prior to and 90 days (unless advised by the managing underwriter that a
longer period, not to exceed 180 days, is required, or such shorter period as
the managing underwriter for any underwritten offering may agree) after the
effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration,
except as part of such registration or unless, in the case of a private sale of
distribution, the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to this Section
7.3. If requested by such managing underwriter, each holder of shares of Common
Stock agrees to execute a holdback agreement, in customary form, consistent with
the terms of this Section 7.3(a).
(b) The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution
of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for any of such securities within seven days prior to and 90 days
(unless advised in writing by the managing underwriter that a longer period, not
to exceed 180 days, is required, or such shorter period as the managing
underwriter for any underwritten offering may agree) after the effective date of
any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof (except (i) as
-
part of such registration, (ii) as permitted by the related underwriting, (iii)
-- ---
pursuant to an employee equity compensation plan, (iv) pursuant to an
--
acquisition or strategic relationship, bank or equipment financing or similar
transaction or (v) pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any
-
successor form). In addition, upon the request of the managing underwriter, the
Company shall use its best efforts to cause each holder of its equity securities
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of
such securities, whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or issued at
any time after the date of this Agreement (other than any such securities
acquired in a public offering), to agree not to effect any such public sale or
distribution of such securities during such period, except as part of any such
registration if permitted, and to cause each such holder to enter into a similar
agreement to such effect with the Company.
21
6.4 Indemnification. The Company may require as a condition to
---------------
including any Common Stock in any registration statement filed pursuant to
Section 7.1 hereof that the Company shall have received an undertaking from the
prospective seller of Common Stock to indemnify directors, officers and other
persons, if any, who may control the Company within the meaning of the Act with
respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission
from such registration statement, prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or such omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by
such prospective seller of Common Stock specifically stating that it is for use
in the preparation of such registration statement, prospectus contained therein,
or amendment or supplement thereto. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and
agree that, unless other wise expressly agreed to in writing by such prospective
seller to the contrary, for all purposes of this agreement the only information
furnished or to be furnished by such prospective seller, in its capacity as
such, to the Company for use in any registration statement, prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto are statements specifically
relating to (i) transactions between the prospective seller and its affiliates,
on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, (ii) the beneficial
ownership of shares of Common Stock by the prospective seller and its affiliates
and (iii) the name and address of the prospective seller and its affiliates.

------------
required that participants there under must become parties to this Agreement

any requirement set forth in Section 10.4 hereof, can determine that any options
granted pursuant to the Option Plans and outstanding and vested as of the option
holder's termination of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall
be deemed to be Common Stock for purposes of Sections 2 and
24
3 hereof; provided, however, that appropriate adjustments shall be made to
-------- -------
reflect the existence of an exercise price for such options.

---------------------------
hereby agrees that the Company may require that any executive employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries who after the date of this Agreement is
offered shares of Common Stock shall, as a condition precedent to the

executing the same and delivering it to the Company at its address specified in
Section 10.11 hereof. Upon such execution and delivery, such executive employee
shall be a "Management Stockholder" for all purposes of this Agreement.
9.4 No Other Arrangements or Agreements. Each Management Stockholder
-----------------------------------
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Endo LLC and to each other
Management Stock holder that, except for, if applicable, the exchange agreement
entered into on December 1, 1997, by and between the Company and each

exchange agreement entered into as of the date of this Agreement, by and between
Endo LLC and each Management Stockholder (collectively, the "LLC Exchange

not enter into or agree to be bound by, any other arrangements or agreements of

--------------------------
modified or supplemented only with the written consent of (i) Xxxxx and (ii) the
Management Stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding Common Stock then
owned by all Management Stockholders;
25
provided that Endo LLC may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole
-------- ----
discretion, release all or a portion of any Management Stockholder's shares of
Common Stock from this Agreement.
9.6 Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
----------
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of
-------- --------
Endo LLC, the Company and any Management Stockholder shall assign any of its
rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written
consent of Xxxxx. Endo LLC, with the prior written consent of Xxxxx, shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to assign any of its rights, and delegate
any of its obligations, to purchase any shares of Common Stock of any Management
Stockholder pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof to any affiliate of Endo LLC,
any one or more persons or entities who are or become parties to this Agreement
or any employee stock ownership plan that the Company may have (or any
combination of the foregoing). In the case of Permitted Transferees, third
parties and Involuntary Transferees, such Permitted Transferees, third parties
or Involuntary Transferees, as the case may be, shall be deemed the Management
Stockholder hereunder for purposes of obtaining the benefits or enforcing the
rights of such Management Stockholder hereunder; provided, however, that no
-------- -------
Permitted Transferee, third party or Involuntary Transferee, as the case may be,
shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such Permitted
Transferee, third party or Involuntary Transferee, as the case may be, has
delivered to Endo LLC a valid undertaking to become, and becomes, bound by the
terms of this Agreement to which the transferring Management Stockholder is
subject.
9.7 Recapitalizations, Exchanges, etc. Affecting the Common Stock.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided here in, the provisions of this Agreement shall
apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to (i) the shares of
Common Stock and (ii) any and all shares of capital stock of the Company or any
successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, ex change,
sale of assets or otherwise), which may be issued in respect of, in exchange
for, or in substitution for the shares of Common Stock, by reason of any stock
dividend, split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or
26
otherwise. References to the "Company" set forth herein shall be deemed to refer
to any such successor or assign and such entity shall execute an appropriate
instrument of assumption agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof. Except as
otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any
person, except for the parties hereto, any rights or remedies hereunder.
9.8 Transfer of Common Stock. If at any time Endo LLC purchases any
------------------------
shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, Endo LLC may pay the purchase
price determined under this Agreement for the shares of Common Stock it
purchases by wire transfer of funds or Endo LLC check in the amount of the
purchase price, and upon receipt of payment of such purchase price or, pursuant
to Section 2.3, Section 3.3 or Article V hereof, any portion thereof, the
selling Management Stockholder shall deliver to Endo LLC the certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased in a form
suitable for transfer, duly endorsed in blank, and free and clear of any lien,
claim or encumbrance. In the event that any Management Stockholder refuses or
otherwise fails to deliver, in accordance with the preceding sentence,
certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased,
the shares of Common Stock purchased from such Management Stockholder shall
(not withstanding such refusal or failure) be deemed, upon receipt by such
Management Stockholder of the purchase price therefor, to not be outstanding for
any purposes. Not withstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Endo
LLC shall not be required to make any payment for shares of Common Stock
purchased hereunder until delivery to it of the certificates representing such
shares. If Endo LLC is purchasing less than all the shares of Common Stock
represented by a single certificate, the Company, after Endo LLC makes such
purchase, shall deliver to the selling Management Stockholder a certificate for
any unpurchased shares of Common Stock.
9.9 Further Assurances. Each party hereto or person or entity
------------------
subject hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such
further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,

entity subject hereto may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

-------------
the parties hereunder and the persons subject hereto shall be governed by, and

therefore agrees that in the event of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement, the aggrieved party may elect to institute and prosecute proceedings

Management Stockholder hereby irrevocably submits to
29
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in New York and
