listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value shall be the fair value of the Units determined in good
faith by the Board using its reasonable business judgment (valuing the Company and its subsidiaries as a going concern; disregarding any discount for minority interest or marketability of the Units,
whether due to transfer restrictions or the lack of a public market for the Units; taking into account the Preferred Priority Return (as defined in the LLC Agreement); without taking into
account the effect of any
contemporaneous repurchase of Units at less than Fair Market Value under Section 4) after consultation with an independent appraiser, accountant or investment banking firm (the
"Valuation Expert"); provided that (i) the Board shall only be obligated to consult a Valuation Expert once annually absent special circumstances
(as determined in good faith by the Board) and (ii) if Director disagrees in good faith with the Board's determination and such dispute involves an amount in excess of $250,000, Director shall

respective resolutions of the dispute and the bases therefor and (ii) accepting either Director's or the Company's proposed resolution of the dispute. For the avoidance of doubt, the
determination of Fair Market Value of any Unit shall be based on the amounts distributable in respect of such Unit under the terms of the LLC Agreement, including any adjustments necessary to
reflect the portion of any tax distributions that were previously made in respect of such Unit but not charged against other distributions in respect of such Unit. 


        Within
five (5) business days after the Company's receipt of Director's written notice of disagreement, the Company shall make available to Director all data (including reports of
employees and outside advisors) relied upon by the Board in making its determination. Director's and the Company's written presentations must be submitted to the Arbiter within 30 days of the
Arbiter's engagement, written notice of which shall be delivered by the Company to Director. The Arbiter shall notify Director and the Company of its decision within 40 days of its engagement.

resolution is accepted, the Company also shall pay all of Director's reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and

offer and sale of the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act;

        3.2    Additional Investment Representations.    Director represents and warrants that:

the Company, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase for a period of 90 days following the Termination Date, and each member of Director Group shall be required to sell to the

        (c)   In

member thereof to perform its obligations hereunder shall not excuse or affect the obligations of any other member thereof, and the closing of the purchases from such other members by the Company
shall not excuse, or constitute a waiver of its rights against, the defaulting member. 


5.    Certain Limitations on the Company's Obligations to Purchase Units.    


        5.1    Deferral of Purchases.    



        (a)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase any Units at any time pursuant to Section 4, regardless
of whether it has delivered a notice of its election to purchase any such Units, (i) to the extent that the purchase of such Units or the payment to the Company or one of its subsidiaries of a
cash dividend or distribution by a subsidiary of the Company to fund such purchase (together with any other purchases of Units pursuant to Section 4 or pursuant to similar provisions in
agreements with other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries of which the Company has at such time been given or has given notice and together with cash dividends and distributions to fund such
other purchases) would result (A) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by any federal, state, local
or foreign court or governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their property, (B) after giving effect thereto, in a Financing Default or
(C) adverse accounting treatment for the Company, or (ii) if immediately prior to such purchase there exists a Financing Default which prohibits such purchase, dividend or distribution.
The Company shall within fifteen days of learning of any such fact so notify the members of Director Group that it is not obligated to purchase units hereunder. 


        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 4, any Units which a member of Director Group has elected to sell to the Company or which the
Company has elected to purchase from members of Director Group, but which in accordance with Section 5.1(a) are not purchased at the applicable time provided in Section 4, shall be
purchased by the Company for the applicable purchase price, together with interest thereon at the Applicable Federal Rate as in effect on the date such purchase is so deferred on or prior to the
fifteenth day after such date or dates that (after taking into account any purchases (and related dividends and distributions) to be made at such time pursuant to agreements with other employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries) the purchase of such Units (and related dividends and distributions) are no longer prohibited under Section 5.1(a), and the Company shall give the members of
Director Group five days prior notice of any such purchase. 




        5.2    Payment for Units.    If at any time the Company elects or is required to purchase any Units pursuant to
Section 4, the Company shall pay the purchase price for the Units it purchases (i) first, by the cancellation of any indebtedness, if any, owing from Director to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries (which indebtedness shall be applied pro rata against the proceeds receivable by each member of Director Group receiving consideration in such repurchase) and (ii) then, by the
Company's delivery of a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds for the remainder of the purchase price, if any, against delivery of the certificates or other instruments representing
the Units so 


7







 

purchased,
duly endorsed; provided that if any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1(a) exists which prohibits such cash payment (either directly or indirectly as a result of the
prohibition of a related cash dividend or distribution), the portion of the cash payment so prohibited may be made, to the extent such payment is not prohibited, by the Company's delivery of a junior
subordinated promissory note (which shall be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment of any debt outstanding under the Financing Agreements and any modifications, renewals,
extensions, replacements and refunding of all such indebtedness) of the Company (a "Junior Subordinated Note") in a principal amount equal to the
balance of the purchase price, payable (x) in the event of a termination of employment referenced in Section 4.2(a)(i) and (ii), as soon as the conditions set forth in
Section 5.1(a) no longer exist or (x) in the event of a termination of Director's service as a member of the Board referenced in Section 4.2(a)(iii), on the fifth anniversary of
the issuance thereof, and bearing interest payable annually at the Applicable Federal Rate on the date of issuance; provided further that if any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1(a)
exists which prohibits such payment (or the payment described in the next proviso) by delivery of a Junior Subordinated Note, the portion of the payment so prohibited may be made, to the extent such
payment is not prohibited, by the Company's delivery of preferred units of the Company having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the balance of the purchase price; provided further that in
the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii) the Company may elect at any time to deliver a Junior Subordinated Note in a principal amount equal to all or a portion of the cash
purchase price (in lieu of paying such portion of the purchase price in cash), which Junior Subordinated Note shall mature on the fifth anniversary of its issuance and accrue interest annually at the
Applicable Federal Rate on the date of issuance, which interest shall be payable at maturity. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to repurchase Units pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or
Section 4.2(a)(i) or Section 4.2(a)(ii) with cash and/or to prepay any Junior Subordinated Notes or redeem any preferred units issued in connection with a repurchase of Units pursuant to
Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.2(a)(i) or Section 4.2(a)(ii). The Company shall have the right set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 5.2 whether
or not the member of Director Group selling such units is an obligor of the Company. Any Junior Subordinated Note (or preferred units issued in lieu thereof) shall become prepayable (or redeemable)
upon a Sale of the Company from net cash proceeds, if any, payable to the Company or its unitholders; to the extent that sufficient net cash proceeds are not so payable, the Junior Subordinated Note
(or preferred units issued in lieu thereof) shall be cancelled in exchange for such other non-cash consideration received by unitholders in the Sale of the Company having a fair market
value equal to the principal of and accrued interest on the note. Any Junior Subordinated Note (or preferred units issued in lieu thereof) also shall become prepayable upon the consummation of an
initial Public Offering. The principal of and accrued interest on any such note may be prepaid (and preferred units issued in lieu thereof may be redeemed) in whole or in part at any time at the
option of the Company. If interest (or cash dividends) is required to be paid on any Junior Subordinated Note (or preferred units issued in lieu thereof) prior to maturity and any of the conditions
set forth in Section 5.1(a) exists or if any such cash payment would result in adverse accounting treatment for the Company which prohibits the payment of such interest (or dividends) in cash,
such interest may be cumulated and accrued until and to the extent that such prohibition no longer exists.

consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 


        6.5    Binding Effect.    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Transferee shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such
Transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a valid undertaking and becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement; and provided further that Vestar is a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the provisions hereof. 


        6.6    Amendment; Waiver.    This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

court in respect of any thereof, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, and each of the Company and the members of Director Group hereby submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. Each of the members of Director Group and the Company hereby irrevocably waives (i) any
objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction
