Founder may Transfer any of his, her or its Shares except pursuant to Transfers
described in and carried out in accordance with subsections (a) or (b) of
Section 3.2, Section 3.5 or Section 3.6. Following the expiration of the
Restricted Period, each of the Xxxxxxx Founders agrees that such Xxxxxxx Founder

or any portion of the Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by such Founder,
except in connection with, and strictly in compliance with, the provisions of

except in connection with, and strictly in compliance with, the provisions of
this Section III.
3.2. PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the provisions of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall not apply to either of
the Transfers listed below; PROVIDED that, in each case the Transferee shall
either be an original party to this Agreement or shall have entered into a
Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A
providing that all Shares so Transferred shall continue to be subject to all
provisions of this Agreement as if such Shares were still held by the Founder
effecting such Transfer, except that no further Transfer shall thereafter be
permitted hereunder except in compliance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4:
(a) Transfers by any Founder to the spouse, children or
siblings of such Founder or to a trust, family limited partnership, or other
estate planning vehicle for the exclusive benefit of any such Founder, spouse,
children or siblings; and
(b) Transfers upon the death of any Founder to such Founder's
heirs, executors or administrators or to a trust under such Founder's will, or
Transfers between such Founder and such Founder's guardian or conservator.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Transferee that
is a party to a Transfer described in this Section 3.2 fails to execute a
Joinder Agreement, such Transferee shall take any Shares so Transferred subject
to all provisions of this Agreement as if such Shares were still held by the
Founder making such Transfer, whether or not they so agree in writing.
3.3. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. Subject to Section 3.2, if at any time any
TMHC Founder or, following the Restricted Period any Xxxxxxx Founder proposes to
Transfer all or any portion of the Shares held by such Founder to any other
Person, such Founder (a "SELLER") may, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4
hereof, Transfer such Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the following
provisions of this Section 3.3:
(a) OFFER NOTICE. The Seller shall give written notice (the
"OFFER NOTICE") to New Holdings and each of the Investors and non-selling
Founders (the "OFFEREES") stating,
6
among other things, that the Seller desires to make such Transfer, the number
and type of Shares proposed to be Transferred and the price per Share in cash at
which the Seller proposes to effect such Transfer (a "SELLER OFFER"). The Offer
Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer to sell all, but not less than all,
of the Shares which are the subject of the Seller Offer (the "OFFERED SHARES")
to the Offerees, on the basis described below, at a purchase price in cash equal
to the price contained in, and on the same terms and conditions described in the
Offer Notice.
(b) OFFEREES' OPTION. At any time within twenty five (25) days
after receipt by the Offerees of the Offer Notice (the "OFFEREE OPTION PERIOD"),
each Offeree or its Affiliates, including future funds that have affiliated but
not identical general partners, may elect to accept the offer to purchase with
respect to all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares and shall give
written notice of such election (the "OFFEREE ACCEPTANCE NOTICE") to the Seller
and each other Offeree within the Offeree Option Period, which notice shall
indicate the maximum number of Offered Shares that the Offeree is willing to
purchase, including the number of Offered Shares it would purchase if one or
more other Offerees do not elect to purchase their Pro Rata Fractions (as
defined in paragraph (c) below). An Offeree Acceptance Notice shall constitute a
valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of
the Offered Shares covered by such Offeree Acceptance Notice. The closing for
the purchase of Offered Shares by the Offerees under this Section 3.3(b) shall
take place at the offices of New Holdings no later than the later of (i) fifteen
(15) days following the expiration of the Offeree Option Period or (ii) the
satisfaction of any governmental approval or filing requirements, or on such
other date or at such other place as may be agreed to by the Seller and such
purchasing Offerees. The Seller shall notify the Offerees promptly if any
Offeree fails to offer to purchase all of its Pro Rata Fraction (as defined
below).
(c) ALLOCATION OF OFFERED SHARES AMONG OFFEREES. Upon the
expiration of the Offeree Option Period, the number of Offered Shares to be
purchased by each Offeree shall be determined as follows: (i) first, there shall
be allocated to each Offeree electing to purchase a number of Offered Shares
equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Offered Shares as to which such Offeree
accepted the offer to purchase, as set forth in its respective Offeree
Acceptance Notice and (B) such Offeree's Pro Rata Fraction (as defined below),
and (ii) second, the balance, if any, not allocated under clause (i) above,
shall be allocated to those Offerees who within the Offeree Option Period
delivered an Offeree Acceptance Notice that accepted the offer to purchase with
respect to a number of Offered Shares that exceeded their respective Pro Rata
Fractions, in each case on a PRO RATA basis in proportion to the number of
Shares held by each such Offeree up to the amount of such excess. As used
herein, an Offeree's "PRO RATA FRACTION" shall be equal to the product obtained
by multiplying the total number of Offered Shares by a fraction, the NUMERATOR
of which is the total number of Shares owned by such Offeree, and the
DENOMINATOR of which is the total number of Shares held by all Offerees, in each
case calculated as of the date of the Offer Notice.
(d) SALE TO THIRD PARTY. If the Offerees do not elect to
exercise the rights to purchase under this Section 3.3 with respect to all, and
not less than all, of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the Seller may
sell all or a portion of the Offered Shares to any other Person (a "BUYER") on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the
provisions of Section 3.4. If the Seller's sale to a Buyer is not consummated in
accordance with the terms of Section 3.4, the Seller's rights under this Section
3.3(d) shall be deemed to lapse, and any
7
Transfers of Shares by the Seller shall be in violation of the provisions of
this Agreement unless the Seller sends a new Offer Notice and once again
complies with the provisions of this Section 3.3 with respect to such proposed
Transfer.
3.4. CO-SALE OPTION OF ELIGIBLE INVESTORS. If, at any time following
the Restricted Period, a Seller provides an Offer Notice to sell Offered Shares
and the Investors do not elect to exercise the rights to purchase under Section
3.3 with respect to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the Seller
may sell all or a portion of such Offered Shares to a Buyer on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the provisions of this
Section 3.4:
(a) CO-SALE NOTICE. As soon as practicable following the
expiration of the Investor Option Period, and in no event later than five (5)
days thereafter, the Seller shall provide notice (the "CO-SALE NOTICE") to each
of the Investors and to each Founder who is not the Seller (the "ELIGIBLE
INVESTORS") of each such Eligible Investor's right to participate in a Transfer
of Offered Shares to a Buyer (a "SELLER TRANSFER") on a PRO RATA basis with the
Seller (the "CO-SALE OPTION"). To the extent one or more such Eligible Investors
exercise their Co-Sale Option in accordance with this Section 3.4, the number of
Shares that the Seller may Transfer pursuant to the Seller Transfer shall be
correspondingly reduced.
(b) INVESTOR ACCEPTANCE. Each of the Eligible Investors shall
have the right to exercise its Co-Sale Option by giving written notice (the
"CO-SALE ACCEPTANCE NOTICE") to the Seller within ten (10) days after receipt by
such Eligible Investor of the Co-Sale Notice (the "CO-SALE ELECTION PERIOD").
Each Co-Sale Acceptance Notice shall set forth the maximum number of Shares
subject thereto which the Eligible Investor wishes to sell, including the number
of Shares it would sell if one or more other Eligible Investors do not elect to
participate in the sale on the terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice.
Any Eligible Investor holding Preferred Stock shall be permitted to sell to the
proposed Buyer in connection with any exercise of the Co-Sale Option, at its
option, (i) shares of Common Stock and/or shares of Common Stock and Redeemable
Preferred Stock acquired upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii)
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock; PROVIDED, that in the case of (A) the
sale of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Buyer shall pay for each such share the
greater of (1) the full liquidation preference of each such share of Convertible
Preferred Stock and (2) the sum of the liquidation preference of each share of
Redeemable Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of such share of Convertible
Preferred Stock and the relevant price per share of the underlying shares of
Common Stock, and (B) the sale of Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Buyer shall
pay for each such share the full liquidation preference of each such share of
Redeemable Preferred Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the event the Investors do not elect to exercise their respective Co-Sale
Options, then no Founder shall be entitled to exercise its Co-Sale Option
hereunder.
(c) ALLOCATION OF SHARES. Each Eligible Investor shall have the
right to sell pursuant to the Seller Transfer that portion of its Shares which
is equal to or less than the product obtained by multiplying (i) in the case of
a Seller Transfer by a TMHC Founder, (A) the product of (1) the total number of
Shares offered by the Seller for sale to the Buyer subject to the Seller
Transfer, multiplied by (2) .085, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the NUMERATOR of
which is the total number of Shares owned by such Eligible Investor and the
DENOMINATOR of which is the total number of Shares held by all Eligible
Investors and the Seller, in each case, as of the date of the
8
Offer Notice, subject to increase as hereinafter provided, and (ii) in the case
of a Seller Transfer by any other Founder, (A) the total number of Shares
offered by the Seller for sale to the Buyer subject to the Seller Transfer by
(B) a fraction, the NUMERATOR of which is the total number of Shares owned by
such Eligible Investor and the DENOMINATOR of which is the total number of
Shares held by all Eligible Investors and the Seller. If any Eligible Investor
does not elect to sell the full amount of such Shares which such Eligible
Investor is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 3.4, then any other
Investors who have elected to sell Shares shall have the right to sell, on a PRO
RATA basis (based on the number of Shares held by each such Investor) with any
other Investors and up to the maximum number of Shares stated in each such
Investor's Co-Sale Acceptance Notice, any Shares not elected to be sold by such
Eligible Investor.
(d) CO-SALE CLOSING. Within ten (10) calendar days after the
end of the Co-Sale Election Period, the Seller shall promptly notify each
participating Eligible Investor of the number of Shares held by such Eligible
Investor that will be included in the sale and the date on which the Seller
Transfer will be consummated, which shall be no later than the later of (i)
sixty (60) calendar days after the end of the Co-Sale Election Period and (ii)
the date of the satisfaction of any governmental approval or filing
requirements, if any. Each participating Eligible Investor may effect its
participation in any Seller Transfer hereunder by delivering to the Buyer, or to
the Seller for delivery to the Buyer, one or more instruments or certificates,
properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Shares it elects to sell
pursuant thereto. At the time of consummation of the Seller Transfer, the Seller
and the participating Investors shall cause the Buyer to remit directly to each
participating Eligible Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which the
participating Eligible Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in
the Seller Transfer. No Shares may be purchased by the Buyer from the Seller
unless the Buyer simultaneously purchases from the participating Eligible
Investors all of the Shares that they have elected to, and are entitled to, sell
pursuant to this Section 3.4.
(e) SALE TO THIRD PARTY. Any Shares held by a Seller that are
the subject of a Seller Transfer and that the Seller desires to Transfer to a
Buyer in compliance with this Section 3.4, may be sold to such Buyer only during
the period specified in Section 3.4(d) and only on terms no more favorable to
the Seller than those contained in the Offer Notice. Promptly after such
Transfer, the Seller shall notify New Holdings and the Investors of the
consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time
of completion of the Transfer and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be
requested by a Majority Interest. Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer to
a Buyer hereunder, such Buyer shall have entered into a Joinder Agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, and such Buyer shall have
all the rights and obligations hereunder as if such Buyer were a Founder. If the
Seller Transfer is not consummated within the period required by this Section
3.4 or the Buyer fails timely to remit to each participating Investor its
respective portion of the sale proceeds, the Seller Transfer shall be deemed to
lapse, and any Transfer of Shares pursuant to such Seller Transfer shall be in
violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Seller sends a new
Offer Notice with respect to such Offered Shares and once again complies with
the provisions of Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 with respect to such Seller
Transfer.
3.5. CO-SALE OPTION OF PARTICIPATING STOCKHOLDERS. If any one or more
of the Investors entertains a bona fide offer from a Buyer who is not an
investment fund controlled by or under common control with of such Investor(s)
(a "TRANSACTION OFFER") to purchase all or
9
any portion of the Shares held by such Investor(s), such Investor(s)
(collectively, a "TRANSFERRING INVESTOR") may sell such Shares to the Buyer on
the terms and conditions of the Transaction Offer, subject to the provisions of
this Section 3.5:
(a) CO-SALE NOTICE. The Transferring Investor shall provide
notice to each Founder and each other Investor (the "STOCKHOLDER CO-SALE
NOTICE") of his, her or its right to participate in the Transaction Offer on a
PRO RATA basis with the Transferring Investor (the "STOCKHOLDER CO-SALE
OPTION"). If one or more of the Founders or other Investors (each, a
"PARTICIPATING STOCKHOLDER") exercise their Stockholder Co-Sale Option in
accordance with this Section 3.5, the number of Shares that the Transferring
Investor may Transfer in the Transaction Offer shall be correspondingly reduced.
The Stockholder Co-Sale Notice shall be accompanied by a true copy of the
Transaction Offer (which shall identify the Buyer and all relevant information
in connection therewith).
(b) ACCEPTANCE. Each Founder and each other Investor shall have
the right to exercise his, her or its Stockholder Co-Sale Option by giving
written notice of such exercise (the "STOCKHOLDER CO-SALE ACCEPTANCE NOTICE") to
the Transferring Investor within ten (10) days after receipt by such Founder or
other Investor of the Stockholder Co-Sale Notice (the "STOCKHOLDER CO-SALE
ELECTION PERIOD"). Each Stockholder Co-Sale Acceptance Notice shall indicate the
maximum number of Shares subject thereto which the Participating Stockholder
wishes to sell, including the number of Shares it would sell if one or more
other Founders or other Investors do not elect to participate in the sale on the
terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice. Notwithstanding any such
exercise of the Stockholder Co-Sale Option, any Investor holding Preferred Stock
shall be permitted to sell to the proposed Buyer in connection with any exercise
of the Stockholder Co-Sale Option, at its option, (i) shares of Common Stock
and/or shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Preferred Stock acquired upon
conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock; PROVIDED, that in the case of (A) the sale of Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Buyer shall pay for each such share the greater of (1) the
full liquidation preference of each such share of Convertible Preferred Stock
and (2) the sum of the liquidation preference of each share of Redeemable
Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of such share of Convertible Preferred
Stock and the relevant price per share of the underlying shares of Common Stock,
and (B) the sale of Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Buyer shall pay for each
such share the full liquidation preference of each such share of Redeemable
Preferred Stock.
(c) ALLOCATION OF SHARES. Each Participating Stockholder shall
have the right to sell pursuant to the Transaction Offer that portion of its
Shares which is equal to or less than the product obtained by multiplying the
total number of Shares offered for sale by the Transferring Investor to the
Buyer subject to the Transaction Offer by a fraction, the NUMERATOR of which is
the total number of Shares owned by such Participating Stockholder and the
denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by all Participating
Stockholders and the Transferring Investor, in each case, as of the date of the
Stockholder Co-Sale Notice, subject to increase as hereinafter provided. If any
Participating Stockholder does not elect to sell the full amount of such Shares
which such Participating Stockholder is entitled to sell pursuant to this
Section 3.5, then any Participating Stockholders who have elected to sell Shares
shall have the right to sell, on a PRO RATA basis (based on the number of Shares
held by each such Participating Stockholder) with any other Participating
Stockholders and up to the maximum number of
10
Shares stated in each such Participating Stockholder's Stockholder Co-Sale
Acceptance Notice, any Shares not elected to be sold by such Participating
Stockholder.
(d) CO-SALE CLOSING. Within ten (10) calendar days after the
end of the Stockholder Co-Sale Election Period, the Transferring Investor shall
promptly notify each Participating Stockholder of the number of Shares held by
such Participating Stockholder 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) sixty (60) calendar days after the end of the Stockholder
Co-Sale Election Period and (ii) the date of the satisfaction of any
governmental approval or filing requirements, if any. Each Participating
Stockholder may effect its participation in any Transaction Offer hereunder by
delivering to the Buyer, or to the Transferring Investor for delivery to the
Buyer, one or more instruments or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer,
representing the Shares it elects to sell pursuant thereto. At the time of
consummation of the Transaction Offer, the Transferring Investor and the
Participating Stockholders shall cause the Buyer to remit directly to each
Participating Stockholder that portion of the sale proceeds to which the
Participating Stockholder is entitled by reason of its participation in the
Transaction Offer. No Shares may be purchased by the Buyer from the Transferring
Investor unless the Buyer simultaneously purchases from the Participating
Stockholders all of the Shares that they have elected to sell pursuant to this
Section 3.5.
(e) SALE TO THIRD PARTY. Any Shares held by a Transferring
Investor that are the subject of a Transaction Offer and that the Transferring
Investor desires to Transfer to a Buyer in compliance with this Section 3.5, may
be sold to such Buyer only during the period specified in Section 3.5(d) and
only on terms no more favorable to the Transferring Investor than those set
forth in the Stockholder Co-Sale Notice. Promptly after such Transfer, the
Transferring Investor shall notify New Holdings and the Founders and other
Investors of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the
completion and time of completion of the Transfer and of the terms thereof as
may reasonably be requested by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Shares of the Participating Stockholders. Prior to the effectiveness of any
Transfer to a Buyer hereunder, such Buyer shall have entered into a Joinder
Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, and such Buyer
shall have all the rights and obligations hereunder as if such Buyer were an
Investor. If the Transaction Offer is not consummated within the period required
by this Section 3.5 or the Buyer fails timely to remit to each Participating
Stockholder its respective portion of the sale proceeds, the Transaction Offer
shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfer of Shares pursuant to such
Transaction Offer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement
unless the Transferring Investor sends a new Stockholder Co-Sale Notice with
respect to such Shares and once again complies with the provisions of Section
3.5 with respect to such Transaction Offer.

any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims
and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the
foregoing and consequential damages) ("LOSSES") sustained or suffered by any
such Investor Indemnified Party, which may be based upon, relating to, arising
out of, or by reason of (i) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by New

any of its subsidiaries and the Investors (other than the Share Exchange
Agreement), or (ii) any third party or governmental claims relating in any way

under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory
law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, which relate directly or

including, without limitation, in connection with any third party or
governmental action or claim relating to any action taken or omitted to be taken
or alleged to have been taken or omitted to have been taken by any Investor
Indemnified Party as security holder, director, agent, representative or
controlling person of New Holdings or otherwise, alleging so-called control
person liability or securities law liability; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that New
Holdings will not be liable to any Investor Indemnified Party to the extent that
such Losses arise from and are based on (A) an untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission in a registration statement or prospectus
which is made in reliance on and in conformity with written information
furnished to New Holdings by or on behalf of such Investor Indemnified Party, or
(B) conduct by such Investor Indemnified Party which is found to constitute

(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 6.9(a) above
for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to
an Investor Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then
New Holdings, in lieu of indemnifying such Investor Indemnified Party
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Investor
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by New Holdings and the
Investors, or (ii) if the allocation
18
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of New Holdings and the
Investors in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such
Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of New Holdings and the Investors shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by New Holdings and the Investors and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.
(c) Each of New Holdings and the Investors agrees that it would
not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 6.9(b) were
determined by PRO RATA or PER CAPITA allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in Section 6.9(b).
(d) New Holdings agrees to pay and hold the Investors harmless
against liability for payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by them in connection with their ongoing investment in New Holdings,

merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise) any provision of the
Charter that would have the effect of increasing the liquidation preference,
dividend rate or redemption price of the Convertible Preferred Stock or
Redeemable Preferred Stock, or (b) change the voting rights of the Convertible
Preferred Stock or Redeemable Preferred Stock with regard to the election of
Directors or otherwise, in each case without the prior affirmative vote or
written consent of the holders of a majority of the Shares held by the Founders.
6.11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. In connection with any share exchange,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or corporate reorganization with
another Person that is an Affiliate of an Investor, New Holdings shall, if
requested in writing by the holders of a majority of the Shares held by the
Founders, obtain an opinion from a recognized, independent investment banking
firm as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to
be issued or paid by New Holdings to such other Person, or the consideration to
be received by New Holdings or its stockholders from such other Person, in
connection with any such transaction.
6.12. MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION. The determination of the compensation of
the officers of New Holdings and its subsidiaries (including, without
limitation, any grants of capital stock, options to purchase capital stock or
other equity incentives) and any changes thereto will be made by the Board of
Directors or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. Any grants of
capital stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of New
Holdings and its subsidiaries will be made pursuant to the Stock Option Plan or
any other equity incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors, and will be
conditioned upon the grantee
19
agreeing to be bound by the terms of an option and/or stock agreement approved
by the Board of Directors or such compensation committee.
6.13. SPECIAL BONUS TO TMHC FOUNDERS. Concurrently with the execution
of this Agreement, TMHC is paying to each TMHC Founder a one-time bonus equal to
(i) for Xxxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxx, $209,243, and (ii) for Xxxxxx Xxxxx, $15,767. There
shall be deducted from the amounts payable to each such TMHC Founder pursuant to
the foregoing sentence all amounts legally required to be withheld by New
Holdings pursuant to applicable federal, state and local tax laws and
regulations.
6.14. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO XXXXXXX CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT.
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Services, Inc. (formerly known as Xxxxxxx GRP, Inc.), a
Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xxxxxxx (the "COMPANY"),
the Xxxxxxx Founders and certain of the Investors (the "XXXXXXX INVESTORS") are
parties to a certain Contribution and Asset Transfer Agreement, dated as of June
29, 2004, as amended (the "XXXXXXX CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT"). In connection with
the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, the parties to the Xxxxxxx
Contribution Agreement hereby agree to the following provisions relating to the
Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement, which provisions are expressly acknowledged and
agreed to by all of the parties to this Agreement (capitalized terms used in the
following sections and not defined shall have the meanings given them in the
Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement).
(a) Anything in Section 1.3(d), Section 1.15(c) or Section 1.15
(f) of the Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Escrow Deposit, together with any interest or other income earned thereon or any
applicable portion thereof, to the extent it is to be applied, pursuant to the
terms of the Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement, to the payment of any Contingent
Payments or other payments owed to the Xxxxxxx Founders thereunder, shall be
treated as being distributed to New Holdings (rather than Xxxxxxx) and
thereafter contributed by New Holdings to Xxxxxxx, and by Xxxxxxx to the
Company, for purposes of enabling the Company to make the required Contingent
Payments or other payments. In the manner provided in Section 1.3(d) of the
Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement, such amounts shall be treated as an additional
contribution by the Xxxxxxx Investors to the capital of New Holdings without any
increase or decrease in the Xxxxxxx Investors' or the Xxxxxxx Founders'
respective interests in New Holdings; provided, that such contribution shall
increase the Xxxxxxx Investors' tax basis in their interests in New Holdings and
shall increase the preferences associated with the Convertible Preferred Stock
and Redeemable Preferred to be held by the Xxxxxxx Investors in accordance with
the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation.
(b) Anything in Section 1.15(d) or Section 1.15(f) of the
Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any
amounts from the Company Account and/or the Escrow Account are returned to the
Xxxxxxx Investors, such amounts shall proportionately reduce the preferences
associated with the Convertible Preferred Stock and Redeemable Preferred to be
held by the Xxxxxxx Investors in accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange
Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation.
(c) Section 1.15(d) of the Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement is
hereby amended by adding to the end of such section the following:
20
"Anything in this Section 1.15(d) to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event New Holdings consummates a QPO (as such term is
defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of New Holdings adopted in
connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement) (as defined
below) prior to December 31, 2005, then, in satisfaction of all obligations of
the Company with respect to the payment of the Third Contingent Payment and the
Fourth Contingent Payment, New Holdings shall issue to the Founding Stockholders
shares of New Holdings Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, which shares of New
Holdings Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock will have an aggregate liquidation
preference equal to $11,250,000 and will otherwise be identical in all respects
to the shares of New Holdings Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock issued or
issuable to the Investors, with the actual number of share issued to depend upon
the liquidation preference then in effect, if applicable. Capitalized terms used
in the foregoing sentence that are not defined in the Agreement shall have the
meanings given them in that certain Contribution and Share Exchange Agreement,
dated as of March 31, 2005, by and among New Holdings, Holdings, the Founding
Stockholders and the other parties named therein (the "SHARE EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT")."
(d) Section 1.15(f) of the Xxxxxxx Contribution Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the last sentence thereof and inserting as the final
three sentences of such Section the following:
"In addition, if, prior to the date upon which any
Contingent Payment is due under Section 1.15(c) above, New Holdings consummates
a QPO (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of New
Holdings adopted in connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange
Agreement), then the Company shall pay to Xxxxxxx, on behalf of Xxxxxxx, the
Xxxxxxx Subsidiaries and the Founding Stockholders, at the closing of such QPO
an aggregate amount equal to (x) the First Contingent Payment plus the Second
Contingent Payment, minus (y) any Contingent Payments previously made under this
Section 1.15. Upon any such payments made pursuant to this Section 1.15(f), New
Holdings, Holdings and the Company shall have no further obligations to make,
and none of Xxxxxxx, the Xxxxxxx Subsidiaries or the Founding Stockholders shall
have any right to receive, Contingent Payments under this Section 1.15 or any
other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Third
Contingent Payment, the Fourth Contingent Payment or the Catch-Up Contingent
Payment). Capitalized terms used in this Section 1.5(f) that are not defined in
the Agreement shall have the meanings given them in the Share Exchange
Agreement."
SECTION VII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
7.1. RELIANCE. Each of the parties hereto agrees that each covenant and
agreement made by it in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or
other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement is material, shall be deemed
to have been relied upon by the other parties and shall remain operative and in
full force and effect after the date hereof regardless of any investigation by
any other party. This Agreement shall not be construed to confer any right or
benefit upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns to the extent contemplated herein.
21
7.2. LEGEND ON SHARES. New Holdings, the Founders and the Stockholders

with the prior written consent of New Holdings, a Majority Interest, the Xxxxxxx
Founders holding a majority of the Shares held by all Xxxxxxx Founders and the
TMHC Founders holding a majority of the Shares held by all TMHC Founders;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any proposed amendment that, by its terms, could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the rights of any Investor or Founder
in a manner different from other Investors or Founders hereunder shall require
the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor or Founder. Any
consent given as provided in the preceding sentence shall be binding on all
Investors and Founders.
7.4. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed (by first class registered

and other communications shall be deemed effective as follows: (i) two days

7.5. HEADINGS. The Section headings used or contained in this Agreement
are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of
this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments
executed and delivered in connection herewith with counsel sophisticated in
investment transactions. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed
and delivered in connection herewith shall be construed as if drafted jointly by
the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this
Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered
in connection herewith.
7.6. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
7.7. REMEDIES; SEVERABILITY. It is specifically understood and agreed
that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any Person subject hereto
will result in irreparable injury to the other parties hereto, that the remedy
at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such
23
breach, and that, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which
they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions
for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law) and New Holdings may
refuse to recognize any unauthorized Transferee as one of its stockholders for
sany purpose, including, without limitation, for purposes of dividend and voting
rights, until the relevant party or parties have complied with all applicable
provisions of this Agreement.
If one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application
thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of
the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be in any way impaired
thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties
hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7.8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a
final expression of their agreement and intended to be complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject
matter, including, without limitation, the Prior Xxxxxxx Agreement and the Prior
TMHC Agreement, which agreements are hereby terminated.
7.9. ADJUSTMENTS. All references to share prices and amounts herein
shall be equitably adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations and similar changes affecting the capital stock of New
Holdings.
7.10. LAW GOVERNING. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws).
7.11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the
parties hereto as contemplated herein, and any successor to New Holdings by way
of merger or otherwise shall specifically agree to be bound by the terms hereof
as a condition of such succession. The rights of the Investors hereunder shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of their Transferees of their
Securities as contemplated herein. This Agreement may not be assigned by any
Investor or Founder except as provided herein without the prior written consent
of New Holdings and a Majority Interest, and without such prior written consent
any attempted assignment shall be null and void.
7.12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. All disputes, claims, or controversies arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other agreement executed and
delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or
performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved in
accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 5.7 and 5.8 of the Share
Exchange Agreement.
7.13. TERMINATION. Sections III, IV, V and VI shall terminate upon the
earlier to occur of a QPO or a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Charter);
PROVIDED, that the covenants set forth
24
in Section 6.4 and Section 6.5 hereof shall continue for so long as any
representative of an Investor is a member of the Board of Directors, and the
covenants set forth in Section 6.9 hereof shall continue for so long as any
Investor holds any Shares or until the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations, if later.
7.14. STOCKHOLDER LOCK-UP. Each Founder hereby agrees, if so requested
by New Holdings and an underwriter of New Holdings' capital stock in connection
with any public offering of capital stock of New Holdings, not to directly or
indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Shares held by
it for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the
consummation of New Holdings' initial public offering of Common Stock or (b)
ninety (90) days following the consummation of any other public offering of
Common Stock, as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith.
7.15. NO WAIVER. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
limit, waive, amend or alter the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement
(the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"), dated as of August 2, 2004, among the Company, the
Lenders (as defined therein) and Madison and the other Loan Documents (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) or any rights or remedies available to Madison
and its Affiliates thereunder. This restriction shall terminate only at such
time as the Company and its Affiliates shall have paid in full any and all
Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no disputes remain outstanding
between the Company and Madison and its Affiliates with respect thereto.
