2. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

2.1. Restriction on Voluntary Transfer.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Stockholder may transfer (whether by sale, gift or otherwise), pledge or encumber any of his shares of Common Stock unless such Stockholder has first made an offer, in the order and manner set forth in this Agreement, to sell either (A) all of his shares of Common Stock or (B) an Allowed Portion of Stock (but in no event less than the shares of Common Stock proposed to be so transferred, pledged or encumbered by the Stockholder), to the Company and to the Remaining Stockholders of the Company, and the Offer has not been accepted in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

2.2. Offer by the Stockholder.

An Offer Notice will be communicated to the Company and to the Remaining Stockholders concurrently and will consist of (a) an offer by a Stockholder to sell, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, either all of his shares of Common Stock or an Allowed Portion of Stock, but in no event less than the number of shares identified pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.2; (b) a statement of the Stockholder’s bona fide intention to transfer, pledge or encumber, as the case may be, any or all of his shares of Common Stock and the identity and address of the prospective record and beneficial transferees, pledgees or lienors; (c) the number of the shares of Common Stock involved in the proposed transfer, pledge or encumbrance and whether such shares are Voting Stock or Non-Voting Stock; and (d) the terms of the proposed transfer, pledge or encumbrance, including, without limitation, any financing arrangements then known to the Stockholder.

If a Stockholder proposes to transfer, pledge or encumber an Allowed Portion of Stock, the Offer made by such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall relate only to those shares of Voting Stock or Non-Voting Stock, or both, as applicable, proposed to be transferred, pledged or encumbered at such time. If a Stockholder proposes to transfer, pledge or encumber either (a) an amount of his Voting Stock which exceeds an Allowed Portion of Voting Stock, or (b) an amount of his Non-Voting Stock which exceeds an Allowed Portion of Non-Voting Stock, the Offer shall relate to all shares of Common Stock then held by such Stockholder.

3. OTHER EVENTS TRIGGERING TRANSFERS

3.1. Transfer by Operation of Law.

If any Stockholder makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, is adjudged a bankrupt, becomes insolvent or in any manner transfers by operation of law (other than as a result of death or any merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party) shares of Common Stock, or any part thereof, such Stockholder will be deemed thereby to have made the Offer to sell all of his shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement and the Offering Date will be deemed to be the date of receipt by the Company of written notice of any such assignment, adjudgment, insolvency or transfer. If the Company, pursuant to Section 6.1.1 of this Agreement, elects not to purchase any or all of such Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock, and the Remaining Stockholders do not purchase all of such unpurchased shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, each within the time periods set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, then the Offer will be deemed a continuing offer thereafter and the Company may accept the Offer at such time as it believes to be appropriate, subject to applicable legal restraints. Upon subsequent acceptance of the Offer by the Company, the Offering Date will be deemed to be the date of such acceptance; provided, however, that if the Offer is subsequently accepted by the Company within six (6) months of the time it was originally made, the valuation of the shares of Common Stock will be made as if the Offer had been accepted on the Offering Date.

3.2. Cessation of Employment in Certain Cases. i

If a Stockholder is Discharged For Cause or voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company (or otherwise ceases, to be a full-time employee of the Company for a reason other than Retirement, Permanent Disability, death or Discharge Without Cause), the Stockholder will be deemed thereby to have made an Offer to sell all of his Common Stock in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement and the Offering Date will be deemed to be the date of receipt by the Company of notice of such cessation of employment. If the Company, pursuant to Section 6.1.1 of this Agreement, elects not to purchase any or all of such Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock, and the Remaining Stockholders do not purchase all of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, each within the time periods set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, then the Offer will be deemed a continuing offer thereafter and the Company may accept the Offer at such time as it believes to be appropriate. Upon subsequent acceptance of the Offer by the Company, the Offering Date will be deemed to be the date of such acceptance; provided, however, that if the Offer is subsequently accepted by the Company within six (6) months of the time it was originally made, the valuation of the shares of Common Stock will be made as if the Offer had been accepted on the Offering Date.

3.3. Permanent Disability or Death of Stockholder.

3.3.1. Upon the Permanent Disability or death of a Stockholder, except as specifically provided in Section 3.3.3 hereof, such Stockholder or the personal representative of such Stockholder, whether or not properly qualified, shall sell all of his shares of Common Stock to the Company, and the Company shall purchase all of his shares of Common Stock, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if an Offer were made. Upon the death of such

Stockholder, should any or all of his shares of Common Stock be transferred by operation of law to any of the heirs of such Stockholder, the personal representative of such Stockholder, whether or not properly qualified, shall be deemed to have made the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on behalf of such heirs. In the event of such death or Permanent Disability, the Offering Date will be deemed to be the date of receipt of written notice of the occurrence of such event by the Company.

3.3.2. In the event an Offer is deemed made pursuant to Section 3.3.1 of this Agreement and the Company is unable to purchase the shares of Offered Stock because of a legal or contractual impediment as provided in Section 6.1.1 hereof, then after the Free Transfer Period, the Company’s obligation to purchase such shares shall be continuing and the Company shall notify the Stockholder or personal representative, and shall purchase such shares, as soon as practicable after it is relieved of the legal or contractual impediment which prevented it from purchasing such shares. Upon any such subsequent purchase, the Offering Date will be deemed to be the date the Company notifies the Stockholder or personal representative of its ability to purchase due to relief from the legal or contractual impediment.

3.3.3. Notwithstanding Section 3.3.1 and any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the Permanent Disability or death of any Stockholder, such Stockholder or his properly qualified personal representative may transfer (A) any Non-Voting Stock to any Permitted Transferee, or a trust created for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee; and (B) any Voting Stock to any Permitted Transferee or any trust for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee, provided that, if such Permitted Transferee of Voting Stock, who receives such shares or who is the beneficiary of any such trust, is not also a Qualified Transferee at the time of the transfer, such shares of Voting Stock shall be subject to a Voting Trust for the benefit of the Permitted Transferee. The transfer to any such Permitted Transferee or trust (whether holding shares of Common Stock or voting trust certificates) shall not be recognized unless, prior thereto,, the Permitted Transferee (or trustee of a trust for the benefit of the Permitted Transferee) has executed and delivered to the Company a Transferee Stock Restriction Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement.

3.3.4. In the event that shares of Voting Stock are subject to a Voting Trust for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee as provided in Section 3.3.3, and such shares were not otherwise transferred to a trust for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee, then the shares of Voting Stock so transferred to the trust will be considered as owned by the Permitted Transferee in computing the portion of the Company’s capital stock owned by such Permitted Transferee for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of such Permitted Transferee under this Agreement and other stock restriction agreements entered into between the Company and its stockholders from time to time, if any, but in no event will the obligations of the Company or a Remaining Stockholder be duplicated as a consequence of this provision.

3.4. Put Options.

3.4.1. Put Option By Stockholder in the Event of Discharge Without Cause. If a Stockholder is Discharged Without Cause, the discharged Stockholder may, at any time thereafter, require the Company (and if so required by the Stockholder, the Company hereby agrees, subject to Section 6.1.1 of this Agreement) to purchase all or any portion of (as required

by such Stockholder) his shares of Common Stock by delivery of a Put Notice to the Company within thirty (30) days after any such discharge, in which event, any such purchase and sale shall take place in accordance with Sections 5.1 or 5.2 (as applicable), and Sections 5.3, 6.1 and 6.5 of this Agreement.

3.4.2. Tenth Anniversary Put. At any time after the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, any Stockholder may require the Company (and if so required, the Company hereby agrees, subject to Section 6.1.1 of this Agreement) to purchase all or any portion of (as required by such Stockholder) his shares of Common Stock by delivery of a Put Notice to the Company. In such event, any purchase and sale shall take place in accordance with Sections 5.1 or 5.2 (as applicable) and Sections 5.3, 6.1 and 6.5 of this Agreement.

3.4.3. Put of Allowed Portion of Voting Stock. At any time after the date of this Agreement, a Stockholder may require the Company (and if so required, the Company hereby agrees, subject to Section 6.1.1 of this Agreement) to purchase an amount of his Voting Stock up to the Allowed Portion of Voting Stock by delivery of a Put Notice to the Company; provided, however, that a Stockholder may not exercise his right to require the Company to so purchase his shares of Voting Stock pursuant to this Section 3.4.3 more than once each fiscal year. Any such purchase and sale shall take place in accordance with Sections 5.1, 5.3, 6.1 and 6.5 of this Agreement.

3.4.4. Rights Of Remaining Stockholders. If Company is unable to fulfill its obligations under this Section 3.4 by reason of a legal or contractual impediment as provided in Section 6.1.1 (which cannot be removed as provided in said Section 6.1.1), then the Remaining Stockholders shall have an option to acquire the Put Shares, as if such shares were shares of Offered Stock and Section 6.1.2 applied. Any Put Shares not purchased by the Remaining Stockholders shall again become subject to this Agreement, provided that, if not all such Put Shares are so purchased, the exercising Stockholder shall have the ability to rescind any elections by the Remaining Stockholders to purchase such Put Shares, whereupon all such Put Shares shall again be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.4.5. Election to Apply Section 5.1 or 5.2. If the number of Put Shares exceeds an Allowed Portion of Stock but is less than all shares then owned by the Stockholder providing the Put Notice, the Company may elect to calculate the purchase price therefore in accordance with either Section 5.1 or 5.2 of this Agreement.

4. PERMITTED TRANSFERS

4.1. Transfer to Spouse, Lineal Descendants or Trusts.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholders may transfer, at any time all or any portion of their respective shares of Common Stock to a Permitted Transferee, or a trust created for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee.

to be transferred under this Section 4.1 are shares of Voting Stock, the Permitted Transferee who receives such shares or is the beneficiary of any such trust, is also a Qualified Transferee.

4.2. Transferor to Trust Treated as Owner.

In the event that the Stockholder makes any such transfer to a trust for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee the shares of the Company’s capital stock so transferred, nevertheless, will be considered as owned by the transferor in computing the portion of Company’s capital stock owned by such transferor for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of such transferor under this Agreement and similar agreements, if any, with other stockholders of the Company, but in no event will the obligations of the Company or a Remaining Stockholder be duplicated as a consequence of this provision.

the shares of Offered Stock, or of its rejection of the Offer pursuant to Section 6.1.1 of this Agreement, to the Stockholder and to each Remaining Stockholder.

(b) Rescission Rights. If the Offer (regardless of under which Section of this Agreement the Offer is deemed to be made) is not accepted by the Company but is accepted by the Remaining Stockholders as to some, but not all of the shares of Offered Stock, the Stockholder may, but will not be obligated to, rescind the agreements of sale created by such elections of the Remaining Stockholders to purchase which the Stockholder has received, in which event the Offered Stock again will become subject to all of the restrictions of this Agreement and may not be transferred subsequently without compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Free Transfer Only If Rescission Rights Not Exercised. If the Offer is not accepted by the Company, but is accepted by the Remaining Stockholders as to some, but not all of the Offered Stock, and the Stockholder does not rescind the agreements of sale created by such elections of the Remaining Stockholders pursuant to Section 6.1.2, the Stockholder may make a bona fide transfer, pledge or encumbrance of those shares of Offered

If any Stockholder proposes to pledge or encumber shares of Common Stock, such Stockholder may not, after the Offer with respect to those shares of Common Stock has been rejected by the Company and the Remaining Stockholders, pledge or encumber shares of Common Stock without first having requested in writing to borrow from the Company and the Remaining Stockholders on the same terms and conditions of any proposed borrowing contemplating such proposed pledge or encumbrance. Thereupon, such Stockholder may make such pledge or encumbrance as to those shares of Common Stock with respect to which such request has not been granted by either the Company or the Remaining Stockholders within thirty (30) days after their receipt of such request. The

Remaining Stockholders’ participation in any advance to such Stockholder will be calculated in the same manner as provided in Section 6.1.2 of this Agreement. If such offer to pledge or encumber shares of Common Stock is made to the Company and the Remaining Stockholders in accordance with this Section 6.3.2, the Free Transfer Period will commence on the earlier of (x) the date of receipt by the Stockholder of the last rejection of such request from Company and all of the Remaining Stockholders or (y) the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such request. Any shares of Common Stock which are not pledged or encumbered during the Free Transfer Period will again become subject to all of the restrictions of this Agreement and may not be subsequently transferred without compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) shares of common stock for which the Company received consideration in money or money’s worth at least equal to the per share net book value of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue and as to which the amount of such consideration credited to capital stock on the books of the Company with respect to each share does not exceed the stated value or par value so credited with respect to each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue; or

(c) any class or series of capital stock issued by the Company to its directors, officers or employees pursuant to a plan adopted by the Company regardless of whether such plan is designed to meet requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

6.1. Necessary Documents.

If, under the terms of this Agreement, shares of Common Stock are purchased, the Stockholder or the Stockholder’s personal representative, whether or not properly qualified, will execute and deliver at the Closing all necessary documents that reasonably may be required to accomplish a complete transfer of such shares of Common Stock, and the Purchaser will execute and deliver to the Stockholder or the Stockholder’s personal representative a non-negotiable promissory note for any deferred portion of the purchase price (and interest thereon), and will agree to pledge the shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Pledge and Escrow Agreement and, in connection therewith, will deliver to the Company’s legal counsel (or to such other person mutually agreed upon by the parties) certificates representing all of the shares of Common Stock actually purchased, with executed blank transfer powers attached, which certificates will be delivered to Purchaser upon final payment of the unpaid balance of the purchase price and all interest thereon.

At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the nominees for positions on the Company’s Board of Directors are required to be finally determined, each Stockholder will submit to the other Stockholder a list of persons whom he is intending to nominate for one-half of the total number of positions as Voting Directors i of the Company. At any time prior to the time when the Company’s Bylaws permit persons to be nominated for a position on the Company’s Board of Directors, any Stockholder may change any of his Nominees. Each Stockholder hereby agrees to vote his shares of Voting Stock at any meeting (special or annual) called for the election of directors for his own Nominees and for those Nominees of the other Stockholder. In the event any Nominee of a Stockholder shall be elected to a position on the Company’s Board of Directors, and such Nominee shall thereafter resign, be removed or be otherwise unable to serve as a director of the Company, then the Stockholder who originally nominated such Nominee shall have the right, as between the Stockholders, to nominate the Replacement and each Stockholder hereby agrees to vote his shares of Voting Stock in such a manner as to cause the Replacement to be elected to the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) Nominations by Recognized Transferees. In the event of the death or Mental Disability of a Stockholder, the Recognized Transferee(s) of such Stockholder shall

make the nomination(s) which would otherwise have been made by such Stockholder. If such Recognized Transferees cannot agree on the person(s) to be nominated, then the nominee(s) shall be the person(s) elected by the majority vote of the Recognized Transferees at a meeting convened upon ten (10) days written notice by any Recognized Transferee. All Recognized Transferees shall vote for the person(s) so nominated. In any such election by Recognized Transferees for purposes of nominating person (s) to be director, each Recognized Transferee shall have one vote in respect of each of his shares of Voting Stock and shall be entitled to cast his votes for or against each candidate in such election to determine nominees.

Each Stockholder agrees to keep the other Stockholder so informed. If a dispute arises between the Stockholders in their capacities as managers of the Company’s businesses, and such dispute involves the operation and management of the Company’s businesses and is therefore not within the provision of Section 8.1 of this Agreement, the Stockholders shall refer such dispute to the Independent Committee

for recommendation as to its resolution. The Independent Committee will discuss the facts and circumstances of the disputed matter with the Stockholders and any other persons it deems appropriate and will develop a recommendation as to courses of action which are possible. The recommendation made by the Independent Committee shall then be submitted to the full Board of Directors of the Company for final approval. The Stockholders agree to abide by the majority decision of the Board.

(i) a statement that the Beneficiary Stockholder has attained the age of 21 years; and

(ii) a certificate of the Company in the form attached hereto as Appendix C stating that the Beneficiary Stockholder, or the spouse of the Beneficiary Stockholder, is at the date thereof, and has been for the immediately preceding two (2) year period, active in the management of the Company.

(b) Prior to the delivery or transfer of the Withdrawn Shares to the withdrawing Beneficiary Stockholder, the withdrawing Beneficiary Stockholder shall deliver to the Trustee the Trust Certificates duly endorsed to the Trustee covering such Withdrawn Shares and, except as provided in Section 9 (c), any Withdrawn Shares shall no longer be subject to the provisions of the Trust or this Trust Agreement. Thereafter, the Trustee shall promptly cause such Withdrawn Shares to be registered in the name of the withdrawing Beneficiary Stockholder and delivered to the withdrawing Beneficiary Stockholder in accordance with his or her instructions.

A-5

(c) After a Withdrawal Notice is received by the Trustee, the Withdrawn Shares shall continue to be subject to this Trust Agreement until the Trustee has received the Trust Certificates representing such Withdrawn Shares as set out above. Until the date of such receipt, or thereafter, if the Beneficiary Stockholder owning the Withdrawn Shares is unable to vote them because the record date for such vote has passed, the Trustee will vote such Withdrawn Shares in accordance with the written instructions of such Beneficiary Stockholder, provided such instructions are received at least five (5) business days prior to the date of any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company. In the absence of such written instructions, the Trustee shall have authority to vote the Withdrawn Shares as he may determine in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement.

10. Dividends and Distributions.

(a) Cash Dividends. The Trustee shall give the Company or its dividend disbursing agent a list of the names and addresses of the then registered holders of Trust Certificates, which list shall set forth the number of Deposited Shares represented by the Trust Certificates registered in the name of each Beneficiary Stockholder on the record date for any cash dividends, and the Trustee shall request the Company to make distribution of cash dividends, on behalf of the Trustee, directly to each such registered Beneficiary Stockholder or to a bank designated by such holder of Trust Certificates. In the event that any cash dividends are paid directly to the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly pay over such dividends to the then registered holders of Trust Certificates according to their respective interests at the record date.

(b) Stock Dividends. If any dividend or distribution in respect of the Deposited Shares is paid, in whole or in part, in shares of voting capital stock of the Company, the Trustee shall hold the stock certificates for such voting shares which are received on account

A-6

of such dividend and such voting shares shall thereafter for all purposes be treated as part of the Deposited Shares. The holder of each Trust Certificate issued under this Trust Agreement on the date for the determination of those stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend shall be entitled to receive a Trust Certificate evidencing such holder’s pro rata share of the number of voting shares received as such dividend. If any dividend or distribution in respect of Deposited Shares is paid, in whole or in part, in shares of non-voting capital stock of the Company, the Trustee shall promptly distribute the stock certificates representing such non-voting shares to the Beneficiary Stockholders in proportion to their beneficial ownership in the Deposited Shares upon which the dividend or distribution is made.

(c) Dividends in Other Assets. If any dividend or distribution in respect of the Deposited Shares held by the Trustee is paid, in whole or in part, in assets of the Company, the Trustee shall give the Company a list of the names and addresses of the then registered holders of Trust Certificates, which list shall set forth the number of Deposited Shares represented by the Trust Certificates registered in the name of each holder on the record date, and the Trustee shall request the Company to make such distribution, on behalf of the Trustee, directly to each registered holder of the Trust Certificates. In the event the distributions are paid directly to the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly pay over such distributions to the then registered holders of Trust Certificates according to their respective interests at the record date.

(d) Mergers, etc. If, during the term hereof, the Company shall merge or consolidate into or with another corporation or corporations or other business entity, or if there shall be a reorganization or recapitalization of the Company, voting securities representing any such corporation or other business entity received by the Trustee in exchange for or with respect to the Deposited Shares as a result of such merger, consolidation, recapitalization or

A-7

reorganization, shall be held by the Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof and shall thereafter for all purposes be treated as part of the Deposited Shares. The Trustee shall issue and deliver Trust Certificates representing such voting securities to the then registered holders of Trust Certificates as their interests shall appear, against surrender by such holders of any Trust Certificates registered in their name which represented Deposited Shares which were surrendered by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization. Any other consideration received by the Trustee in such a transaction shall be paid by the Trustee to the then registered holders of Trust Certificates in accordance with their respective beneficial interests at the applicable record date.

(e) Dissolution. If, during the term hereof, the Company shall be dissolved or liquidated in such a manner as to entitle the holders of Common Stock to liquidating dividends, the Trustee shall request all such dividends to be distributed directly by the Company to the holders of Trust Certificates in proportion to their respective beneficial ownership in the Deposited Shares upon which dividends are paid. In the event that such dividends are paid directly to the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly pay over such dividends to the then registered holders of Trust Certificates according to their respective beneficial interests at the record date.

(f) Rights Offerings. If any capital stock or other securities of the Company are offered for subscription or otherwise to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, the Trustee, promptly upon receipt of notice of such offer, shall mail a copy thereof to each of the holders of the Trust Certificates. Upon receipt by the Trustee, at least five (5) business days prior to the last day fixed by the Company for subscription and payment, of a request from any such registered holder of Trust Certificates to subscribe on behalf of such holder, accompanied by the sum of money required to pay for such stock or securities, the

A-8

Trustee shall make such subscription and payment, and upon receiving from the Company the certificates for shares or securities so subscribed for, shall issue to such holder a Trust Certificate in respect thereof if the same be shares of Voting Stock, but if the same be securities other than Common Stock, the Trustee shall deliver such securities to the holder of the Trust Certificate on whose behalf the subscription was made, or may request the Company to make delivery directly to the holder of the Trust Certificate entitled thereto.

11. Transfer and Replacement of Voting Trust Certificates.

(a) Trust Certificates may not be transferred (whether by sale, gift or otherwise) pledged or encumbered, except in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Any Beneficiary Stockholder may transfer, pledge or encumber Trust Certificates subject to the restrictions contained in the Transferee Stock Restriction Agreement (“Beneficiary Stock Agreement”) which such Beneficiary Stockholder, as a transferee of shares of Common Stock, was required to execute pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 6.4.1 of the Stock Agreement, a copy of which Beneficiary Stock Agreement has been delivered to the Trustee. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, Trust Certificates shall be treated as if they were shares of Voting Stock, except that the Beneficiary Stockholder shall not be entitled, until such time as the trust is terminated or the Deposited Shares are withdrawn, to exercise rights comparable to those under Section 3.4.3 of the Stock Agreement.

(ii) By execution of this Trust Agreement, each Beneficiary Stockholder agrees to be bound, with respect to the Trust Certificates, by all the terms and conditions of his Beneficiary Stock Agreement, as if such Trust Certificates were shares of Voting Stock.

A-9

(iii) The Company and the Trustee will not, nor be compelled to, recognize any transfer of Trust Certificates, or issue any Trust Certificate or stock certificate representing any Trust Certificate or Deposited Shares purportedly transferred, to any person who (A) does not qualify as a proper transferee under the terms and conditions of the Beneficiary Stock Agreement and this Trust Agreement, and who has not delivered to the Company and the Trustee an agreement in substantially the same form as the Beneficiary Stock Agreement and a written undertaking to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement; or (B) has received such Trust Certificates or stock certificates in a transfer made other than in accordance with the terms of the Beneficiary Stock Agreement and this Trust Agreement, or similar agreements, if any, made with other stockholders of the Company.

(b) The Trustee shall keep a record of all Trust Certificates issued by the Trust upon the original issuance thereof in exchange for the Deposited Shares, or upon the transfer of Trust Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, or as a result of the release of Withdrawn Shares to the Beneficiary Stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 9. The record of Trust Certificates shall be kept, and Trust Certificates may be transferred, subject to the provisions of this Section 11 and applicable legal requirements including those under the Securities Act of 1933, at the office of the Trustee. The records so kept by the Trustee shall conform, as nearly as may be practicable, to the form of stock ledger or statutory stock books which would be used by a corporation or a transfer agent under similar circumstances, and shall indicate, among other things, the names and addresses of all persons who are holders of Trust Certificates, the number of Deposited Shares represented by the Trust Certificates held by each of them and the dates when each of them became the owners thereof.

A-10

(c) Any transfer of Trust Certificates permitted hereunder and under the Stock Agreement shall be accomplished by delivery, of the Trust Certificates to the Trustee, duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed powers and by such other assignments, certificates of authority and consent to transfer instruments as may be reasonably requested by counsel to the Trustee in order to effect a transfer of the Trust Certificates. Upon effecting any such transfer, all Trust Certificates so surrendered to the Trustee shall be cancelled forthwith. The Trustee may, in his sole discretion, treat the registered holder of any Trust Certificates as the owner thereof for all purposes whatsoever, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Upon the expiration or termination of the Trust Agreement, the Deposited Shares will not be delivered to the Beneficiary Stockholders without the surrender of the Trust Certificates representing such Deposited Shares, properly endorsed for surrender.

(d) If any Trust Certificate shall become mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Trustee may provide for the issuance of a new Trust Certificate in lieu of such lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate or in exchange for such mutilated Trust Certificate, under such conditions with respect to indemnity and otherwise as he, in his sole discretion, may prescribe.

12. Pledge of Trust Certificates. Provided a Beneficiary Stockholder has first complied with the requirements of the Beneficiary Stock Agreement, a Beneficiary Stockholder may assign a security interest in Deposited Shares represented by Trust Certificates to a bank or other lender (a “Lender”) and may deliver physical possession of such Trust Certificates in pledge to such Lender. A Lender that has taken physical possession of a pledged Trust Certificate and the Deposited Shares represented thereby shall give written notice to the Trustee of such possession and pledge, confirmed in writing by the pledgor, and thereafter until

A-11

otherwise notified in writing by the Lender, the Trustee shall recognize the Lender’s security interest in such Trust Certificate and Deposited Shares. Unless otherwise notified in writing by the Lender, and subject to the provisions of Sections 10(a), 10(b) and 10(c) of this Trust Agreement, the Trustee may direct that dividends relating to pledged Trust Certificates be paid to the pledgor and the Trustee may follow the instructions of the pledgor as to matters affecting the Trust, except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement. Until the Deposited Shares underlying a pledged Trust Certificate are released from the Trust, the Trustee shall have power to continue to vote such Deposited Shares in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement. After default of the pledging Beneficiary Stockholder, and upon written notice to the Trustee from a Lender that it is therefore entitled to obtain possession of the Deposited Shares underlying such Trust Certificates pledged with it in order to realize upon its security interest therein, the Trustee shall forthwith cause such Deposited Shares to be delivered to the Lender, which shall surrender such Trust Certificates to the Trustee, and such Shares shall be free from the Trust and shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall have authority to enter into written agreements with a Lender confirming such obligation hereunder to the Lender.

13. Expenses. The Trustee shall receive no compensation or commissions for acting as Trustee. The Trustee shall have authority to pay necessary expenses in connection with the business of the Trust and may retain counsel and other professionals. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in connection with the conduct of the business of the Trust. The Trustee shall from time to time assess the Beneficiary Stockholders for funds to pay these expenses, in proportion to their beneficial ownership of Deposited Shares.

A-12

14. Liability.

(a) The Trustee shall not be liable for the consequence of any vote cast or consent given and shall not incur any liability to any Beneficiary Stockholder, except for willful misconduct evidencing bad faith or gross negligence. The Beneficiary Stockholders shall indemnify the Trustee and hold him harmless from any and all liabilities which he may incur as a result of carrying on the business of the Trust, except for those arising out of the willful misconduct evidencing bad faith or gross negligence of the Trustee.

(b) No contract or other transaction between the Company and the Trustee, or any person, firm or corporation in which the Trustee may be interested or with which he may be affiliated or in any way related, shall be rendered invalid by the fact of his being a party thereto, or being interested in or affiliated with or related to such person, firm or corporation, and the Trustee and any such person, firm or corporation are hereby relieved from any liability by reason of the making of any contract or participating in any transaction wherein the Trustee or any such person, firm or corporation, may be interested.

15. Notice to Company. An executed counterpart of this Trust Agreement shall be filed with the registered office of the Company.

16. Termination. Upon termination of the Trust hereunder, either because of the expiration of the term of the Trust or the withdrawal of all Deposited Shares by the Beneficiary Stockholders in accordance with Section 9 hereof, the Trustee shall take all such action as may be required to cause such Deposited Shares to be registered in the names of the Beneficiary Stockholders in accordance with their beneficial holdings as evidenced by the Trust Certificates, or transferred in accordance with their written instructions.

A-13

17. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Any notice given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to any party at the address listed on the records of the Trustee or such other address as a party may have notified the other parties hereto (including the Trustee) in writing, or delivered to such person personally.

Upon subsequent acceptance of the Offer by the Company, the Offering Date will be deemed to be the date of such acceptance; provided, however, that if the Offer is subsequently accepted by the Company within six (6) months of the time it was originally made, the valuation of the shares of Common Stock will be made as if the Offer had been accepted on the Offering Date.

3.3.3. Notwithstanding Section 3.3.1 and any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the Permanent Disability or death of any Transferee Stockholder, such Transferee Stockholder or his properly qualified personal representative may transfer (A) any Non-Voting Stock to any Permitted Transferee, or a trust created for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee/ and (B) any Voting Stock to any Permitted Transferee or any trust for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee, provided that, if such Permitted Transferee of Voting Stock who receives such shares, or who is the beneficiary of any such trust, is not also a Qualified Transferee at the time of the transfer, such shares of Voting Stock shall be subject to a Voting Trust for the benefit of the Permitted Transferee. The transfer to any such Permitted Transferee or trust (whether holding shares of Common Stock or voting trust certificates) shall not be recognized unless, prior thereto, the Permitted Transferee (or trustee of a trust for the benefit of the Permitted Transferee) has executed and delivered to the Company a Transferee Stock Restriction Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement.

In the event that the Transferee Stockholder makes a transfer to a Voting Trust for the benefit of a Permitted Transferee as provided in this Section 3.3.3, the shares of Voting Stock so transferred will be considered as owned by the beneficiary Permitted Transferee in computing the portion of Company’s capital stock owned by such Permitted Transferee for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of such Permitted Transferee under this Agreement and other Transferee Agreements, if any, but in no event will the obligation of the Company or a Remaining Stockholder be duplicated as a consequence of this provision.

In the event the Family Members or Remaining Stockholders, or one or more of them, elect to purchase all or a portion of the shares of Offered Stock, Closing with respect to such shares will be held at such time as may be mutually agreed upon by the Transferee Stockholder and those Family Members or Remaining Stockholders who have agreed to purchase and, in the absence of such agreement, will be held on the sixtieth (60th) day following receipt by the Transferee Stockholder of a Family Member’s notice of election to purchase or of the last notice of election to purchase from a Remaining Stockholder, as applicable.

(b) Rescission Rights. If the Offer (regardless of under which Section of this Agreement the Offer is deemed to be made) is not accepted by the Company or the Family Members as to all the shares of Offered Stock, but is accepted by the Remaining Stockholders as to some, but not all, of the shares of Offered Stock available to the Remaining Stockholders, the Transferee Stockholder may, but will not be obligated to, rescind the agreements of sale created by such elections of the Remaining Stockholders to purchase which the Stockholder has received, in which event the shares of Offered Stock which were available to the Remaining Stockholders again will become subject to all of I the restrictions of this Agreement and may not be transferred subsequently without compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) Free Transfer Only If Rescission Rights Not Exercised.

6.3.1. More Favorable Transfer Requires Re-Offer. If any of the terms of a proposed bona fide transfer during the Free Transfer Period to a transferee other than the Company, the Family Members or the Remaining Stockholders under the terms of this Agreement are more favorable to the transferee than the corresponding terms in accordance with which the Company, the Family Members or the Remaining Stockholders could have purchased

B-16

the shares of Offered Stock under this Agreement, then the Transferee Stockholder may not transfer the shares of Offered Stock proposed to be transferred to such transferee without first having made a second Offer to transfer the shares of Offered Stock to the Company, the Family Members and the Remaining Stockholders on the same terms as the contemplated transfer to such transferee. Thereupon, subject to Section 6.6 hereof, the Transferee Stockholder may make such bona fide transfer as to those shares of Offered Stock with respect to which the second Offer has not been accepted by any of the Company, the Family Members or the Remaining Stockholders within thirty (30) days after their receipt of such second Offer.

Thereupon, such Transferee Stockholder may make such pledge or encumbrance as to those shares of Common Stock with respect to which such request has not been granted by either the Company or the Remaining Stockholders within thirty (30) days after their receipt of such request. The Remaining Stockholders’’ participation in any advance to such Transferee Stockholder will be calculated in the same manner as provided in Section 6.1.3 of this Agreement. If such offer to pledge or encumber shares of Common Stock is made to the Company and the Remaining Stockholders in accordance with this Section 6.3.2, the Free Transfer Period will commence on the earlier of (x) the date of receipt by the Transferee Stockholder of the last rejection of such request from Company and all of the Remaining Transferee Stockholders or (y) the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such request.
