AND DRAG-ALONG PROVISIONS
SECTION 3.1. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. No Transfers of any Shares shall
be made except in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Securities
Act and any relevant state securities law. In addition, each Stockholder agrees
that he, she or it will not, without the prior written consent of the holders of
both (i) sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock and (ii) sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the
issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, Transfer all or any portion of
the Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by it or him, except in connection
with, and strictly in compliance with the conditions of, any of the following:
(a) Transfers effected pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and 3.4,
in each case made in accordance with the procedures set forth therein;
(b) Any Transfers by a Stockholder to his or her spouse or
children or to a trust of which he is the settlor and a trustee for the
benefit of his or her spouse or children, PROVIDED that any such trust does
not require or permit distribution of such Shares during the term of this
Agreement, and PROVIDED FURTHER that the Transferee shall have executed and
delivered a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A;
(c) Transfers upon the death of any Stockholder to his or her
heirs, executors or administrators or to a trust under his or her will or
Transfers between such Stockholder and his or her guardian or conservator,
PROVIDED that the Transferee shall have executed and delivered a Joinder
Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A;
5
(d) Transfers pursuant to a public offering of the Company's
Common Stock registered under the Securities Act effected in accordance
with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement;
(e) With respect to any of the Investors, a Transfer to any
other Investor or to a partner or Affiliate of such Investor (other than
the Company) or to any other investment fund or other entity for which such
Investor and/or one or more partners thereof, directly or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, serve as general partner or manager or
in a like capacity, PROVIDED that the Transferee shall have executed and
delivered a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A; and
(f) In the event that Toronto Dominion Capital (U.S.A.), Inc.
("Toronto Dominion"), EOS Partners SBIC, L.P. ("EOS") or BancBoston
Ventures Inc. ("BancBoston") reasonably determines that it has a Regulatory
Problem (as defined below), each of Toronto Dominion, EOS and BancBoston
shall have the right to (i) Transfer its Shares to a non-Affiliate of the
Company and the other Stockholders, PROVIDED that the transferee shall have
executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT A, or (ii) exchange their Shares for non-voting securities in the
Company with the same economic rights, and the Company shall take all such
actions as are reasonably requested by Toronto Dominion, EOS and BancBoston
in order to (a) effectuate and facilitate any such Transfer or (b) permit
Toronto Dominion, EOS and/or BancBoston, as the case may be, to exchange
for all or any portion of their Shares on a share-for-share basis for
shares of non-voting securities of the Company, which non-voting securities
shall be identical in all respects to the Shares exchanged for it, except
that such exchanged securities shall be non-voting and shall be convertible
into voting securities on such terms as are reasonably requested by Toronto
Dominion, EOS and/or BancBoston, as the case may be, in light of regulatory
considerations then prevailing and do not alter the economic interests of
the parties hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Regulatory Problem"
means any set of facts or circumstances wherein it has been asserted by any
governmental authority, including by the United States Small Business
Administration (the "SBA"), and any successor agency satisfactory to the
Company performing the functions thereof (or, based on written advice of
counsel satisfactory to the Company, Toronto Dominion, EOS and/or
BancBoston reasonably believes that there is a substantial risk of such
assertion), that, pursuant to the Small Business Act of 1958, as amended,
and the regulations issued by the SBA thereunder, codified at Title 13 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 107 and 121 (the "SBIC
Regulations"), or pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended, and
the regulations issued thereunder, Toronto Dominion, EOS or BancBoston, as
applicable, is not entitled to hold all or a portion of the Preferred Stock
or Common Stock held by it.
6
Any permitted Transferee described in the preceding clauses (b), (c), (e)
or (f) shall be referred to herein as a "Permitted Transferee." Anything
to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Permitted Transferees
shall take any Shares so Transferred subject to all provisions of this
Agreement as if such Shares were still held by the Transferring
Stockholder, whether or not they so agree with the Transferring Stockholder
and/or the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, in connection
with any otherwise permitted transfer of Shares that are restricted shares
subject to any stock restriction or vesting agreement, any Permitted
Transferee of any such Shares shall agree in writing to be bound by the
terms of such stock restriction, vesting or similar agreement, including,
without limitation, any repurchase or similar right contained therein.
SECTION 3.2. RIGHT OF LAST REFUSAL. In the event that any of the
Stockholders, including any of their Permitted Transferees, receives a bona fide
offer to purchase all or any portion of the Shares held by such Stockholder (a
"Transaction Offer") from a non-Affiliate (the "Offeror") in a transaction not
expressly permitted under Section 3.1, such Stockholder (a "Transferring
Stockholder") may, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, Transfer
such Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this
Section 3.2:
(a) Such Transferring Stockholder shall cause the Transaction
Offer and all of the terms thereof to be reduced to writing and shall
notify each Preferred Investor of its wish to accept the Transaction Offer
and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 3.2 and, if
applicable, Section 3.3 (such notice, the "Offer Notice"). The
Transferring Stockholder's Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable
offer to sell such shares to the Preferred Investors on the basis described
below at a purchase price equal to the price contained in, and on the same
terms and conditions of, the Transaction Offer. The notice shall be
accompanied by a true copy of the Transaction Offer (which shall identify
the Offeror and all relevant information in connection therewith).
(b) Each Preferred Investor shall have the right (the "Right of
Last Refusal") to offer to purchase up to that number of Shares covered by
the Transaction Offer as shall be equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (i) the total number of Shares subject to the Transaction Offer
by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares of
Common Stock owned by such Preferred Investor on the date of the Offer
Notice on an as converted basis (including any shares of Common Stock that
may be received upon conversion of the Preferred Stock), and the
denominator of which is the total number of Shares of Common Stock then
held by all Preferred Investors (other than the Transferring Stockholder)
on the date of the Offer Notice on an as converted basis, such that
Preferred Investors shall have the right to accept the Transaction Offer
with respect to all or a portion of the shares covered thereby. (The
number of Shares that
7
each Preferred Investor is entitled to purchase under this Section 3.2 shall
be referred to as its "Pro Rata Fraction"). In the event that a Preferred
Investor shall elect to purchase all or a part of the Shares covered by the
Transaction Offer (an "Electing Investor"), such Electing Investor shall
individually communicate in writing such election to purchase to the
Transferring Stockholder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer
Notice (which election notice may specify an amount in excess of such
Electing Investor's Pro Rata Fraction in the event that one or more
Preferred Investor(s) desire not to elect to purchase their Pro Rata
Fraction). Such communication shall be delivered by hand or mailed to such
Transferring Stockholder in accordance with Section 6.5 hereof and shall,
when taken in conjunction with the Transaction Offer, be deemed to
constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale
and purchase of the Shares covered thereby to the extent of the number of
Shares, if any, allocated to such Electing Investor in accordance with the
following paragraph. In the event that one or more Preferred Investor(s)
do not elect to purchase their full Pro Rata Fraction, then any Preferred
Investors who do so elect shall have an additional five (5) days from the
date the Preferred Investors are notified of the election by any Preferred
Investors not to purchase their Pro Rata Fraction to offer to purchase, on
a pro rata basis with any other Preferred Investors who so elect, any Pro
Rata Fraction not purchased by a Preferred Investor. In the event that the
price set forth in the Offer Notice is stated in consideration other than
cash or cash equivalents, the Board of Directors of the Company may
determine the fair market value of such consideration, reasonably and in
good faith, and the Electing Investors may, at their option, exercise their
Right of Last Refusal by payment of such fair market value in cash or cash
equivalents.
Upon the expiration of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Offer
Notice by all Preferred Investors, the Transferring Stockholder shall
notify all of the Preferred Investors as to how many of the Shares subject
to the Offer Notice have been subscribed for and, after the expiration of
the five (5) day overallotment period thereafter, the number of Shares to
be purchased by each Electing Investor shall be determined as follows: (x)
there shall first be allocated to each Electing Investor a number of Shares
equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Shares as to which such Electing
Investor accepted the Transaction Offer or (B) such Electing Investor's Pro
Rata Fraction, and (y) the balance, if any, not allocated under clause (x)
above, shall be allocated to those Electing Investors who accepted the
Transaction Offer as to a number of Shares which exceeded their respective
Pro Rata Fractions, in each case on a pro rata basis in proportion to the
amount of such excess. The closing for any purchase of Shares to the
Electing Investors hereunder shall take place within thirty (30) days after
the expiration of the first thirty-day period following the Electing
Investors' receipt of the Offer Notice (and, if applicable, the additional
five (5) day overallotment period) at the place and on the date specified
by a majority-in-interest of the Electing Investors.
8
(c) In the event that the Preferred Investors do not elect to
exercise, in the aggregate, the Right of Last Refusal with respect to all
of the Shares proposed to be sold, the Transferring Stockholder may sell
all such Shares proposed to be sold to the Offeror on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the restrictions set
forth in the last paragraph of Section 3.1 and the further provisions of
Section 3.3. If the Transferring Stockholder's transfer to an Offeror is
not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Offer
within the later of (i) ninety (90) days after the expiration of the
periods for exercise by the Preferred Stockholders of the Right of Last
Refusal and the Co-Sale Option set forth in Section 3.3 below, if
applicable, and (ii) the satisfaction of all governmental approval or
filing requirements, the Transaction Offer shall be deemed to lapse, and
any Transfers of Shares pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be deemed
to be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Preferred
Investors are once again afforded the Right of Last Refusal provided for
herein with respect to such Transaction Offer.
SECTION 3.3. CO-SALE OPTION. In the event that any Transferring
Stockholder receives a Transaction Offer from an Offeror, and the Right of Last
Refusal is not exercised with respect to all of the Shares proposed to be sold,
such Transferring Stockholder may Transfer such Shares only pursuant to and in
accordance with the following provisions of this Section 3.3:
(a) Each of the Investors and the Founding Stockholders, other
than the Transferring Stockholder if it, he or she is also an Investor or
Founding Stockholder, shall have the right, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.3(f) below, to participate in the Transaction Offer on the terms
and conditions herein stated, which right shall be exercisable upon written
notice to the Transferring Stockholder within the later of (i) thirty (30)
days after delivery to it of the Offer Notice and (ii) ten (10) days after
the Transferring Stockholder notifies the Investors and the Founding
Stockholders in writing that the Preferred Investors have not collectively
elected to exercise the Right of Last Refusal with respect to all of the
Shares proposed to be sold (the "Co-Sale Option").
(b) Each of the Investors and the Founding Stockholders, other
than the Transferring Stockholder if it, he or she is also an Investor or
Founding Stockholder (each such Investor and Founding Stockholder, a
"Selling Investor"), shall have the right, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.3(f) below, to sell a portion of its Shares pursuant to the
Transaction Offer which is equal to or less than the product obtained by
multiplying (i) the total number of Shares subject to the Transaction Offer
by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares of
Common Stock owned by such Selling Investor on the date of the Offer Notice
on an as converted basis (including any Shares of Common Stock that may be
received upon conversion of the Preferred Stock), and the denominator of
which is the total number of Shares of Common Stock then held
9
by all Investors, Founding Stockholders and the Transferring Stockholder on
the date of the Offer Notice on an as converted basis (including any Shares
of Common Stock that may be received upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock). To the extent one or more Investors and/or Founding Stockholders
elect not to sell, or fail to exercise their right to sell, the full amount
of such Shares which they are entitled to sell pursuant to this Section
3.3, the other Investors' and/or Founding Stockholders' rights to sell
Shares shall be increased proportionately and the other Investors and/or
Founding Stockholders shall have an additional five (5) days from the date
upon which they are notified of such election or failure to exercise in
which to increase the number of Shares to be sold by them hereunder.
(c) Within ten (10) days after the date by which the Investors
and the Founding Stockholders were first required to notify the
Transferring Stockholder of their intent to participate, the Transferring
Stockholder shall notify each Selling Investor of the number of Shares held
by such Selling Investor that will be included in the sale and the date on
which the Transaction Offer will be consummated, which shall be no later
than the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date by which the Selling
Investors were required to notify the Transferring Stockholder of their
intent to participate and (ii) the satisfaction of any governmental
approval or filing requirements, if any.
(d) Each of the Selling Investors may effect its participation
in any Transaction Offer hereunder by delivery to the Offeror, or to the
Transferring Stockholder for delivery to the Offeror, of one or more
instruments or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing
the Shares it elects to sell therein. At the time of consummation of the
Transaction Offer, the Offeror shall remit directly to each Selling
Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which each Selling Investor
is entitled by reason of its participation therein (less any adjustments
due to the conversion of any convertible securities or the exercise of any
exercisable securities).
(e) In the event that the Transaction Offer is not consummated
within the period required by subsection (c) hereof or the Offeror fails to
timely remit to each Selling Investor its portion of the sale proceeds, the
Transaction Offer shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfers of Shares
pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be deemed to be in violation of
the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferring Stockholder once
again complies with the provisions of Section 3.2 and this Section 3.3
hereof with respect to such Transaction Offer.
(f) To the extent that any Investor or Founding Stockholder
holds Shares ("Junior Shares") which are junior or inferior in terms of
rights to the Shares subject to purchase under such Transaction Offer
(e.g., the Common Stock is junior to the Preferred
10
Stock and the Diluted Convertible Preferred Stock is junior to the
Preferred Stock), the right of such Investor or Founding Stockholder to
participate in a Transaction Offer and to sell a portion of its Shares
pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be conditioned upon either (i) the
consent of the Offeror to purchase such Junior Shares on the same terms and
conditions (including price) stated in the Transaction Offer or (ii) the
willingness of the Offeror to purchase such Junior Shares on such other
terms and conditions as may be acceptable to such Investor or Founding
Stockholder, as the case may be, provided that in either case such consent
or agreement is obtained within the specified time period set forth in
subsection (c) hereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose any
"good faith" or other obligation on the Offeror (or any Transferring
Stockholder or Selling Investor) to grant such consent or negotiate such
agreement.
SECTION 3.4. DRAG-ALONG OBLIGATIONS.
(a) In the event that Investors holding both (i) the applicable
percentage of the issued and outstanding Shares of Common Stock (treating
for such purposes each share of issued and outstanding Preferred Stock as
the number of issued and outstanding Conversion Shares into which such
Preferred Stock may be converted) specified below and (ii) sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the issued and outstanding Shares of
Preferred Stock determine (A) to sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or Shares representing a
majority of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted, as converted basis, to any
non-Affiliate(s) of the Company or any of the Investors, or (B) to cause
the Company to merge with or into or consolidate with any non-Affiliate(s)
of the Company or any of the Investors (in each case, the "Buyer") in a
bona fide negotiated transaction (a "Sale"), each of the Stockholders,
including any of their respective Permitted Transferees, shall be obligated
to and shall upon the written request of Investors holding both (x) the
applicable percentage of the issued and outstanding Shares of Common Stock
(treating for such purposes each share of issued and outstanding Preferred
Stock as the number of issued and outstanding Conversion Shares into which
such Preferred Stock may be converted) specified below and (y) sixty-six
and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the issued and outstanding Shares of
Preferred Stock: (I) sell, transfer and deliver, or cause to be sold,
transferred and delivered, to the Buyer, his, her or its Shares (including
for this purpose all of such Stockholder's Shares that presently or as a
result of any such transaction may be acquired upon the exercise of options
(following the payment of the exercise price therefore)) on substantially
the same terms applicable to the Investors (with appropriate adjustments to
reflect the conversion of convertible securities, the redemption of
redeemable securities and the exercise of exercisable securities as well as
the relative preferences and priorities of the Preferred Stock); and (II)
execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and transfer and take
such other action, including voting such Shares in favor of any Sale

terms and provisions of this Section 3.4.
For purposes of this Section 3.4(a), the applicable percentage of the

(b) In the event of a Sale to a Buyer as contemplated in Section
3.4(a) above, each of the Founding Stockholders shall, in the event that
the Investors do not exercise their "drag-along" rights in Section 3.4(a)
above, have the right to require the Investors to include such Founding
Stockholder's Shares in the Sale on the same terms and conditions,
including price and type, as the Investors' Shares, which such right shall
be exercisable by the delivery of written notice to the Company and each of
the Investors at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date proposed for the
closing of the Sale.
(c) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date proposed
for the closing of any Sale, the Investors shall give written notice to
each Founding Stockholder, setting forth in reasonable detail the name or
names of the Buyer, the terms and conditions of the Sale, including the
purchase price, and the proposed closing date. In furtherance of the
provisions of this Section 3.4, each of the Founding Stockholders hereby
(i) irrevocably appoints BEDCO (as defined below) as its agent and
attorney-in-fact (the "Agent") (which such appointment shall be deemed
coupled with an interest and irrevocable and have full power of
substitution) to execute all agreements, instruments and
12
certificates and take all actions necessary or desirable to effectuate any
Sale hereunder, and (ii) grants to the Agent a proxy (which shall be deemed
to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable) to vote the Shares held by
such Stockholder and exercise any consent rights applicable thereto in
favor of any Sale hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Agent shall not
exercise such powers-of-attorney or proxies with respect to any Stockholder
unless such Stockholders are in breach of their obligations under this
Section 3.4.
(d) Each Stockholder participating in the Sale pursuant to the
"drag-along" rights in Section 3.4(a) shall deliver to the Buyer at a
closing to be held at the offices of the Company (or such other place as
the parties agree), one or more certificates, properly endorsed for
transfer, representing all the Shares (including vested options) owned by
such Stockholder, and each such Stockholder shall make such representations
and warranties, and shall enter into such agreements, as are customary and
reasonable in the context of the Sale, including, without limitation,
representations and warranties (and indemnities with respect thereto) that
the Buyer (or interests therein) is receiving good and marketable title to
such Shares (or interests therein), free and clear of all pledges, security
interests or other liens. In addition, the Stockholders shall reasonably
cooperate and consult with each other in order to effect the Sale described
in this Section 3.4, including the determination of the appropriate scope
of, or limitations or exceptions to, representations and warranties to be
made in connection with such Sale and the preparation of disclosure
schedules with respect thereto.
SECTION 3.5 CONTEMPORANEOUS TRANSFERS. If two or more Stockholders
propose concurrent transfers which are subject to this Article III, then the
relevant provisions of Sections 3.2 and 3.3 shall apply separately to each such
proposed transfer.
SECTION 3.6. PROHIBITED TRANSFERS. If any Transfer is made or attempted
contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be
void AB INITIO; the Company, the Investors and the other Stockholders shall
have, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which they may have,
the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement by actions for specific
performance (to the extent permitted by law); and the Company shall have the
right to refuse to recognize any Transferee as one of its stockholders for any
purpose. Without limitation of the foregoing, each of the Investors and
Stockholders further agrees that the provisions of Section 7.9 shall apply in
the event of any violation or threatened violation of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.7. EXCHANGE OF VOTING SECURITIES FOR NON-VOTING SECURITIES FOR
BANK HOLDING COMPANY ACT PURPOSES.
(a) As long as any Shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding,
before the Company redeems, purchases or otherwise acquires, directly or
indirectly, or converts
13
or takes any action with respect to the voting rights of, any shares of any
class of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for any shares of any class of its capital stock (other than
(i) a conversion of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, (ii) a
conversion of shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock and
(iii) a conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of
Diluted Convertible Preferred Stock), the Company shall give written notice
of such pending action to each holder of Shares of Class B Common Stock.
Upon the written request of any such holder made within ten (10) days after
its receipt of any such notice, stating that after giving effect to such
action such holder would have a Regulatory Problem, the Company shall defer
taking such action for such period (not to extend beyond thirty (30) days
after such holder's receipt of the Company's original notice) as such
holder reasonably requests to permit it and its Affiliates to reduce the
quantity of the Company's voting securities they own in order to avoid the
Regulatory Problem. For purposes of this Section 3.7 only, a "Regulatory
Problem" (as defined in Section 3.1(f)) shall not include prohibitions
arising under the SBIC Regulations.
(b) At the request of Toronto Dominion or any of its affiliates at
any time (whether in connection with any action by the Company referred to
in subparagraph (a) above or otherwise), the Company shall exchange with
such Investor for such number of shares of Class A Common Stock then held
by such Investor as it designates a like number of Shares of Class B Common
Stock. In the event of any such exchange of Shares of Class B Common Stock
for Shares of Class A Common Stock, the holders of such Shares of Class B
Common Stock shall be entitled to all the rights which such holders had
pursuant to this Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement as holders of Class A Common Stock
(including, without limitation, the right to have such shares treated as
"Class B Common Stock" and as shares that may be converted into
"Registrable Securities," as applicable).
ARTICLE IV RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN FUTURE ISSUANCES
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell or issue any
shares of capital stock of the Company, or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for capital stock of the Company, or options, warrants or rights
carrying any rights to purchase capital stock of the Company (the "Additional
Equity Securities"), other than Excluded Offerings (as defined below), unless
the Company first notifies the Investors of the proposed issuance of Additional
Equity Securities and submits an offer to the Investors identifying the terms of
the proposed sale (including price, number or aggregate principal amount of
securities and all other material terms), and offers to each Investor the
opportunity to purchase its pro rata share of such Additional Equity Securities.
Each Investor's pro rata share of any such Additional Equity Securities shall be
based upon the ratios which the Shares of Common Stock held by such Investor
(determined on
14
an as converted basis after giving effect to the conversion of any Preferred
Stock) bears to all of the Shares of the Company determined on a fully-diluted,
as converted basis. For purposes of this Article IV, "Excluded Offerings" shall
consist of (i) issuances made in connection with an acquisition of a
non-Affiliate of the Company (whether by acquisition of assets or capital stock,
merger or consolidation) or a joint venture or strategic alliance with a
non-Affiliate of the Company, (ii) issuances made to officers, directors,
employees, consultants or agents of the Company pursuant to the Company's 1995
Stock Option Plan, the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (together, the "Plans")
or other compensation plans which have been adopted and approved by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, (iii) Conversion Shares issued
upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, (iv) capital stock issued upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of Additional Equity Securities that were
previously sold in compliance with the terms of this Article IV, (v) shares
issued in connection with a duly authorized stock split, stock dividend or
recapitalization, (vi) Diluted Convertible Preferred Stock issued in accordance
with the Charter and (vii) warrants issued to any institutional lender in
connection with any debt financing permitted under the Purchase Agreement.
The Company's offer to the Investors shall be irrevocable and remain open
for a period of thirty (30) days. Each Investor electing to purchase any
Additional Equity Securities shall provide a written notice to the Company
within such period indicating the amount it elects to purchase (which notice may
specify an amount in excess of such Investors pro rata share of the Additional
Equity Securities in the event that other Investors do not elect to purchase
their full pro rata share). Any Additional Equity Securities so offered to the
Investors and which are not purchased pursuant to such offer shall be sold to
the Investors which have elected to purchase in excess of their pro rata share
based upon their relative excess purchase indications and, if any Additional
Equity Securities remain unpurchased, may be sold by the Company to any other
Person on terms and conditions, including price, not more favorable to such
Person than those set forth in such offer within ninety (90) days of the date of
such offer. In the event that the Company has not sold the Additional Equity
Securities within such ninety-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue
or sell such Additional Equity Securities without first complying with the terms
of this Article IV.

Dominion under the 1995 Stock Purchase Agreement and held by such T-D
SBIC shall have the right to nominate any one individual to

right to nominate a Director under this Section 5.1(b) without the
affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors (other than any directors nominated by, or representing,
Toronto Dominion), if such transfer is made in connection with a
transfer by Toronto Dominion of its Shares under Section 3.1(f)
hereof.
(c) As soon as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, has
identified a director candidate who is not an Affiliate of either the Company or
any of the Stockholders and who has operating experience in the Company's
industry (the "Outside Nominee"), but in any event no later than June 30, 1997,
the Stockholders hereby agree that the Board of Directors shall thereupon be
increased to nine (9) and agree to vote their respective Shares for such
additional Director in favor of the Outside Nominee or such successor or
replacement individual as shall be designated from time to time by a majority of
the other Directors designated hereunder.

Affiliates of either the Company or any of the Stockholders on terms set forth
in such delegation. The Compensation Committee shall consist of no more than
three (3) persons, one of whom shall be the BancBoston Nominee. The Company and
each of the Stockholders further agrees to cause the Board of Directors to
appoint and maintain an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors which shall be

and accounting practices and which shall consist of no more than two (2)
persons, one (1) of which shall be the GCC Nominee and each of whom shall be
non-management members of the Board of Directors. Except as expressly set forth
herein, the Company and each of the Stockholders hereby further agrees to cause
the Board of Directors not to create any other committee thereof and not, except
as set forth above, to delegate any other action or authority to any existing
committee thereof.
SECTION 5.3. REMOVAL. Each Stockholder agrees to vote all of its shares
of the Company's capital stock having voting power (and any other shares over
which she or it exercises voting control) for the removal of any director upon
the request of the stockholder or group designating such director and for the
election to the Board of Directors of a substitute designated by such party in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof.
17
SECTION 5.4. VACANCIES. Each Stockholder agrees to vote all shares of
the Company's capital stock having voting power (and any other shares over which
she or it exercises voting control) in such manner as shall be necessary or
appropriate to ensure that any vacancy on the Board of Directors of the Company
(occurring for any reason) shall be filled only in accordance with the
provisions of this Article V. In addition, if any Investor which is entitled to
nominate a member of the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1
fails to do so within ninety (90) days after receipt of written notice from the
Company that such directorship becomes vacant, then the holders of a majority of
the issued and outstanding Common Stock (treating for such purposes each share
of issued and outstanding Preferred Stock as the number of issued and
outstanding Conversion Shares into which such Preferred Stock may be converted)
shall nominate such director (a "Replacement Director") and the Replacement
Director shall serve as a member of the Board of Directors until such Investor
exercises its rights under Section 5.1 to nominate a director, in which event
the Replacement Director shall be removed.
SECTION 5.5. INCREASE IN SIZE OF BOARD. Any increase in the size of the
Board of Directors (other than the increase from eight (8) to nine (9)

Transfer of its Shares, to cause the Transferee to agree to the provisions of
this Article V, whereupon such Transferee shall be subject to the provisions
hereof as a Preferred Investor or Stockholder, as applicable, in connection with
its ownership of the Shares Transferred for purposes of this Article V.
SECTION 5.7. NO WAIVER. Any failure by any of the parties hereto to

agrees, with respect to the composition, election, removal and other
considerations with respect to the Board of Directors of the Company's

a manner consistent with and identical to the provisions set forth above in this
Article V.
SECTION 5.9. EXPENSES. The Company hereby agrees to reimburse each
member of the Board of Directors for his or her reasonable and documented travel
and other out-of-pocket expenses (to the extent consistent with the Company's
policies related thereto, which do provide for reimbursement of directors'
travel expenses and which have been delivered to the Investors prior to the date
hereof) incurred in connection with matters relating to such director's
attendance
18
at meetings of the Board of Directors or performing such other business on
behalf of the Company.

a representative serving on the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 5.1
hereof, such Investor (or an Affiliate thereof) shall be entitled to notice of

that any such Observer (a) shall not be entitled to participate in the
discussions, deliberations or voting of the Board of Directors or such
committees and (b) shall be excluded from any meetings or deliberations if the
Board of Directors reasonably determines that the inclusion of such Observer
might compromise or waive the attorney-client privilege for any material matters
discussed therein.
