provided for in Section 3(f) hereof. 
  
 (e) No Shareholder or
Additional Shareholder may cause or effect a Change in Status. If, in violation of the preceding sentence, a Change in Status occurs, then the Shares owned by the Shareholder or Additional Shareholder, shall at the Company’s option, be deemed
to be redeemed immediately before the occurrence of the Change in Status at the price and in the manner provided for in Section 3(f) hereof. 
  
 (f) If the Company exercises its option to purchase the Shares pursuant to Section 3(d) or 3(e) hereof, the amount per share paid therefor shall be the
Purchase Price Per Share in the case of a purported Transfer that does not constitute a 2.5% Transaction or the Alternative Purchase Price Per Share, in the case of a purported Transfer that constitutes a 2.5% Transaction, which amount shall be
payable in cash, certified check or wire transfer at the date specified in the notice of exercise (which shall be not more than 45 days after the date of such notice), or, if such payment would conflict with any covenants in any credit or loan
agreements of the Company, in semi-annual installments over four years with interest accruing at the Prime Rate from time to time plus one-percent (1%) payable semi-annually. The Company’s obligation to pay any deferred payment of the Purchase
Price Per Share or the Alternative Purchase Price Per Share, as the case may be, shall be represented by a subordinated note. Such note shall be secured by the Shares being purchased by the Company. Such note shall be subordinated to all Senior
Indebtedness and no payments of principal or interest shall be made on any part of such note if there exists a payment default on any Senior Indebtedness or a nonpayment default on any Senior Indebtedness (unless such nonpayment default has

status as a Subchapter S Corporation by reason of a Transfer of Shares in violation of this Section 3 or a Change in Status may cause material adverse tax effects to the other Shareholders and Additional Shareholders. For this reason, any
Shareholder or Additional Shareholder who contemplates a Transfer of Shares or a Change in Status agrees to advise the Company at least 30 days (or such shorter period as the Company may agree) in advance of any such Transfer or Change in Status, so
that the Company may take action to preserve its status as a Subchapter S Corporation. 
  
 (h) If the Company’s status as a Subchapter S Corporation is terminated inadvertently and the Company wishes to obtain a ruling under Section 1362(f) of the Code, each Shareholder and Additional Shareholder
agrees to make any adjustments required pursuant to Section 1362(f)(4) of the Code and approved by the Board. A Shareholder’s or Additional Shareholder’s obligation to make such adjustments shall continue after the Shareholder or
Additional Shareholder has ceased to own Shares in the Company and after this Agreement has terminated. 
  
 (i) Each Shareholder and Additional Shareholder agrees to take all actions necessary to enable and allow the Company to elect, and maintain an election,

assign, transfer and deliver the Shares to be sold by such seller;

judgment or order of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such seller or the property of such seller; 
  
 (iii) Such seller has good and valid title to the Shares being sold, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims (other
than liens created pursuant to Section 12 hereof); and, upon delivery of such Shares and payment therefor, good and valid title to such Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims (other than liens created by the purchaser

 9 








 (iv) The sale of Shares will be in compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws (it being understood that the seller may base such representation on representations reasonably requested from the purchases or, failing the receipt of representations reasonably requested, reasonable assumptions with respect

 4. Rights of First Refusal Regarding Stock
Transfers. 
  
 4.1 Company’s Right of First
Refusal. Except for Permitted Transfers and transactions contemplated by Section 7 hereof, no Shareholder or Additional Shareholder will solicit or accept, or Transfer any Shares pursuant to, any offer other than a bona fide offer to
purchase such Shares solely for cash (subject to the ability to obtain certain consideration other than cash as provided in Section 4.5 hereof). Except for Permitted Transfers or transactions contemplated by Section 7 hereof, in the event that a
Shareholder or Additional Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”) shall desire to Transfer such Person’s Shares or any portion thereof (the “Offered Shares”) and shall be in receipt of a bona fide written offer
to purchase the Offered Shares for no consideration other than cash, subject to the restrictions on transfer in Sections 2 and 3 hereof and in addition to the requirements of Section 3(b) hereof, the following procedure shall apply. The Selling
Shareholder shall give to the Company, and the Company shall promptly thereafter give to each other Shareholder and Approved Shareholder (individually “Non-Selling Shareholder” and collectively “Non-Selling Shareholders”),
written notice containing the terms and conditions of the proposed sale, including, but not limited to, and where applicable: 
  
 (i) the number of Offered Shares; 
  
 (ii) the price per Share; 
  
 (iii) the name(s) of the proposed purchaser(s); and 
  
 (iv) a copy of the written offer signed by the prospective purchaser(s). 
  
 A written offer shall not be deemed bona fide unless the offer is for a
purchase for no consideration other than cash by a responsible party (as reasonably determined by the Board) and the Selling Shareholder has informed the prospective purchaser of the obligations of all Shareholders, Additional Shareholders and the
Company under this Agreement and the prospective purchaser has agreed to execute an agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 1 hereto and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Board is entitled to take such
steps as it reasonably may deem necessary to determine the validity and bona fide nature of the prospective purchaser’s offer and the responsibility of such party. 
  
 Until 30 days after such notice is given, the Company shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to the Selling
Shareholder within such 30-day period, to purchase the Offered Shares or any portion thereof at the price offered by the prospective purchaser and specified in such notice either (1) in cash or by certified check or wire transfer immediately upon
the closing of the transaction or (2) if such payment would conflict with any covenants in any credit or loan agreements of the Company, in semi-annual installments over four years with 
  

 10 








 interest accruing at the Prime Rate from time to time plus one-percent (1%) payable semi-annually. The Company’s
obligation to pay any deferred payment of the purchase price shall be represented by a subordinated note. Such note shall be secured by the Offered Shares so purchased. Such note shall be subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness and no payments of
principal or interest shall be made on any part of such note if there exists a payment default on any Senior Indebtedness or any nonpayment default on any Senior Indebtedness (unless such nonpayment default has continued for more than 270 days). The
form and content of such note and security agreement shall be substantially consistent herewith and otherwise as determined by the Board at the time the Offered Shares are so purchased. The Company may assign its option to a designee provided that,
if the purchase price per share is not being paid entirely in cash, the Company shall guarantee the assignee’s obligations. 
  
 After giving notice under this Section 4.1, the Selling Shareholder shall refrain from participating as an officer, director or shareholder of the Company
in the Company’s decision whether to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares. 
  
 4.2 Non-Selling Shareholders’ Right to Purchase on Company’s Refusal. If the Company does not exercise its right to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the 30-day period specified above,
subject to Section 3 hereof, each Non-Selling Shareholder shall have the right to purchase for cash at the price offered by the prospective purchaser (i) such portion of the remaining Offered Shares as shall equal the number of Shares beneficially
owned by such Non-Selling Shareholder divided by the sum of such number plus the number of Shares beneficially owned by all other Non-Selling Shareholders and (ii) such number of Offered Shares determined pursuant to the allotment referred to in the
second succeeding sentence. A Non-Selling Shareholder may exercise its right to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares to which it is entitled by giving notice of the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by it to the Company within 15 days
after the expiration of the 30-day period referred to above and, if such notice is timely given, must purchase the full number so notified. If any Non-Selling Shareholder does not exercise its right to purchase the full amount of its portion of the
remaining Offered Shares, such Offered Shares not so purchased shall be allotted successively among the Non-Selling Shareholders desiring to purchase such Offered Shares, in proportion to the number of Shares beneficially owned by such Non-Selling
Shareholder relative to the sum of the number of Shares beneficially owned by all other Non-Selling Shareholders desiring to purchase such Offered Shares at the time of each successive allotment (after giving effect to acquisitions under prior
allotments), until either (a) all Offered Shares have been purchased or (b) each Non-Selling Shareholder has purchased and received the full number of Shares that it desires to purchase. 
  
 4.3 Closing. The closing of any purchase by the Company or Non-Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, of all
or any portion of any Offered Shares as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof shall take place on such date as is designated by the Company or Non-Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, in its or their notice to the Selling Shareholder of the
election to purchase such Offered Shares, provided that such closings must take place within 75 days of the Selling Shareholder’s notice pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof. At each such closing, the Selling Shareholder shall deliver to the Company
or Non-Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, any certificates representing the Offered Shares to be so purchased (properly endorsed for transfer and with any required stock transfer tax stamps attached, together with such other documentation as
the Company or Non-Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, shall reasonably request to evidence the Transfer of such Offered Shares) against payment therefor by the Company or the Non-Selling Shareholder, as the case may be. 
  

 11 








 4.4 Representations and Warranties of Selling Shareholder. Each Shareholder and Additional
Shareholder who is a Selling Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 hereof hereby makes the representations and warranties enumerated in Section 3(k) hereof to the Company, its designee or the Non-Selling Shareholder purchasing from such seller,
in each case as of the date of closing of such purchase. 
  
 4.5 Failure of Company and Non-Selling Shareholders to Purchase Offered Shares. An election by the Company and the Non-Selling Shareholders to exercise their rights under this Section 4 shall be ineffective if, in the
aggregate, they do not elect to purchase at least 50% of the Offered Shares. If less than all of the Offered Shares are purchased by the Company or the Non-Selling Shareholders within the 75-day period granted for such purchases, then the remaining
Offered Shares may be Transferred free from the restrictions of this Section 4; provided, however, that the Offered Shares must be Transferred within 30 days of the expiration of the 75-day period to the person or persons named in, and
under the terms and conditions (other than price, which may be increased provided no less cash is received) of, the bona fide offer described in the notice to the Company and Non-Selling Shareholders; and provided
further, that such Transfer is made subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof requiring Additional Shareholders to become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Selling Shareholder shall not Transfer the Offered
Shares within said 30-day period, he shall not thereafter Transfer any Shares without again complying with the requirements of Section 3(b) hereof and giving written notice and offering such Shares to the Non-Selling Shareholders pursuant to this
Section 4. 
  
 4.6 Conflicts. In the event a sale of
Shares pursuant to this Section 4 also triggers the provisions set forth in Section 7 hereof, Section 7 shall control. 
  
 5. Board of Directors. 
  
 5.1 Formation and Composition of Board of Directors. (a) As part of the consideration for the transactions contemplated hereby, each
Shareholder and Additional Shareholder agrees that he will take and will cause to be taken at all times all necessary action (corporate and otherwise), including the voting of equity interests, to elect as the Board a slate comprised solely of the
following individuals: James S. Cownie, James M. Hoak, Wayne Kern, David J. Lundquist, David N. Walthall and Richard E. Lundin. The Board has full power and authority to remove any Director in the event such Director engages in any way in Serious
Misconduct. 
  
 5.2 Resignation of Directors. A
Director who (i) reduces the number of Shares Beneficially Owned by him through Transfers other than Permitted Transfers (except that Permitted Transfers pursuant to subsections (ii), (iv) and (v) of Section 1.22 hereof shall be deemed a reduction
in the amount of Shares Beneficially Owned for purposes of this Section 5.2) to a level at, or below, 33 1/3% of
the amount of Shares Beneficially Owned by such Director as of the date hereof (as adjusted for any and all stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalization) or (ii) is also an employee of the Company, terminates his employment with the Company for
any 
  

 12 








 reason, hereby agrees to resign as Director of the Company. In the event such Director refuses to resign from the Board,
the Board shall immediately call a special meeting of shareholders and all Shareholders and Additional Shareholders shall vote to remove such Director from the Board. 
  
 5.3 Replacement of Directors Other than by Election. In the event of the resignation, removal, death, Total
and Permanent Incapacity, or reduction in the amount of Shares Beneficially Owned (as described in Section 5.2 hereof) of a Director, a majority of the remaining Directors will then select a replacement Director (which replacement Director will then
be deemed to be included in the slate described in Section 5.1 hereof). 
  
 5.4 Action with Respect to Options. A member of the Board who is, or is affiliated with, the Shareholder or Additional Shareholder whose Shares are subject to any option of the Company under this Agreement shall not
participate in any decision of the Board relating to the exercise or non-exercise of any such option or the determination of the Purchase Price Per Share or the Alternative Purchase Price Per Share, as the case may be (including, without limitation,
the selection of an appraiser in calculating the Alternative Purchase Price Per Share). 
  
 6. Additional Shareholders. No Person (other than the parties to this Agreement) shall become an Additional Shareholder unless it shall execute and deliver to the Company a written agreement, in
substantially the form of Exhibit 1 hereto, agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if it were a Shareholder. In no event, however, shall such Additional Shareholder be entitled to the first refusal rights
provided in Section 4 hereof or the preemptive rights provided in Section 9 hereof unless the written consent of the Shareholders and Approved Shareholders holding more than 75% in interest of the Shares held by all of the Shareholders and Approved
Shareholders is first obtained. 
  
 7. Sales
Transactions. (a) In the event that, notwithstanding any action or inaction whatsoever by the Board, Shareholders and Permitted Transferees (other than Permitted Transferees pursuant to Section 1.22(v), (vi) or (vii) hereof) beneficially
owning at least 51% of the Total Shares Outstanding held by such Shareholders and Permitted Transferees desire to engage in a Sales Transaction, such Shareholders and Permitted Transferees (the “Triggering Shareholders”) may submit a
notice (the “Sales Transaction Notice”) to the Board. The Sales Transaction Notice shall state a price (the “Sales Price”) which the Triggering Shareholders have in good faith determined to be the price at which they are willing
to sell the Company. 
  
 (b) Promptly after receipt of any such
Sales Transaction Notice, the Board shall determine whether the Sales Price set forth in such Sales Transaction Notice exceeds the Total Company Valuation as of the date of such Sales Transaction Notice. If such Sales Price is equal to or greater
than the Total Company Valuation as determined by the Board as of the date of such Sales Transaction Notice, the Board shall upon such determination so notify the Triggering Shareholders and the Board shall use all reasonable efforts (including
engaging a qualified investment banking firm, designated by the Triggering Shareholders, provided that the choice of such investment banking firm and the terms of such engagement are subject to the approval of the Board, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) to enter into a binding agreement with respect to a Sales Transaction with any Person within 150 days thereafter; provided, however, that the purchase price of the Company in any such Sales Transaction shall be
equal to at least 98% of the Sales Price and must be fully payable in cash. 
  

 13 








 In the event the Board cannot close such a Sales Transaction with any Person within such 150-day period at a price equal
to or greater than 98% of the Sales Price, the Triggering Shareholders owning a majority of the Shares held by such Triggering Shareholders may elect to proceed toward a Sales Transaction with a Person who has submitted a bona fide offer (including
evidence of adequate financing) to the Company for a Sales Transaction at a price less than 98% of the Sales Price or at a price consisting of consideration other than cash (an “Alternative Sales Transaction”); provided,
that, the purchase price of any such Sales Transaction or Alternative Sales Transaction consummated by the Triggering Shareholders shall not be less than the Total Company Valuation as previously determined by the Board pursuant to such Sales
Transaction Notice and that if such purchase price in an Alternative Sales Transaction includes securities or other property, the Board will determine in good faith the value thereof (any such determination of the value of such securities or other
property by the Board in accordance with the advice of its investment banker being presumptively deemed to be a determination made in good faith). 
  
 (c) In the event that the Sales Price set forth in any such Sales Transaction Notice is less than the Total Company Valuation as determined by the Board
as of the date of such Sales Transaction Notice, the Board shall immediately upon such determination provide the Non-Triggering Shareholders with a copy of such Sales Transaction Notice. A majority of the Non-Triggering Shareholders (the
“Non-Triggering Shareholders’ Representatives”) shall have the power and authority to act on behalf of all of the Non-Triggering Shareholders. For a period of 150 days thereafter, the Non-Triggering Shareholders’ Representatives
or an entity designated by them (any such entity being referred to as a “Non-Triggering Person”) shall have the right to purchase the Company for cash at the Sales Price; provided, however, that, unless on or before the
90th day of such 150-day period the Non-Triggering Shareholders’ Representatives (or the Non-Triggering Person,
as the case may be) shall have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board financing commitments adequate to finance the Sales Price, such right shall lapse. 
  
 (d) In the event the Non-Triggering Shareholders’ Representatives (or the Non-Triggering Person, as the case may be)
elect not to exercise their right to purchase the Company on the terms set forth in any Sales Transaction Notice contemplated in (c) above, such right lapses in accordance with the foregoing or the closing of such a transaction does not occur within
the allotted 150-day period, the Triggering Shareholders may for a period of 15 days elect to withdraw their request for a Sales Transaction. If such withdrawal does not occur, the Board shall use all reasonable efforts (including engaging a
qualified investment banking firm, designated by the Triggering Shareholders, provided that the choice of such investment banking firm and the terms of such engagement are subject to the approval of the Board, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) to enter into a binding agreement with respect to a Sales Transaction with any Person within 150 days thereafter; provided, however, that the purchase price of the Company in any such Sales Transaction shall be
equal to at least 98% of the Sales Price and must be fully payable in cash. 
  
 (e) In the event the Board cannot close a Sales Transaction with any Person within the 150-day period at a price equal to or greater than 98% of the Sales Price as provided in (d) above, the Triggering Shareholders
owning a majority of the Shares held by such Triggering Shareholders may elect to proceed toward a Sales Transaction with a Person who has submitted a bona fide offer (including evidence of adequate financing) to the Company for a 
  

 14 








 Sales Transaction or an Alternative Sales Transaction at a price less than 98% of such Sales Price; provided,
however, that the Non-Triggering Shareholders’ Representatives (or the Non-Triggering Person, as the case may be) shall have 90 days from the election of the Triggering Shareholders to proceed with such Alternative Sales Transaction to
provide evidence that they have adequate financing to match the terms of such Alternative Sales Transaction, and 60 days thereafter to close a Sales Transaction on the same terms as the Alternative Sales Transaction. In the event the Non-Triggering
Shareholders’ Representatives (or the Non-Triggering Person, as the case may be) choose not to purchase the Company on the terms of the Alternative Sales Transaction or the closing of such a transaction does not occur within the allotted
150-day period, the Board shall use all reasonable efforts to close the Alternative Sales Transaction within 150 days thereafter. If the purchase price in an Alternative Sales Transaction includes securities or other property, the Board will
determine in good faith the value thereof (any such determination of the value of such securities or other property by the Board in accordance with the advice of its investment banker being presumptively deemed to be a determination made in good
faith); provided that in any Alternative Sales Transaction in which the Non-Triggering Shareholders’ Representatives (or the Non-Triggering Person, as the case may be) are exercising the right to purchase any such determination of value of any
securities or property must be in accordance with the advice of an investment banker or valuation firm of recognized national standing designated by the Board. 
  

(f) In the event the Non-Triggering Shareholders choose to purchase the Company in a Sales Transaction or Alternative Sales Transaction as set forth
above, the Non-Triggering Shareholders may elect, in lieu of such Sales Transaction or Alternative Sales Transaction, to have the Company redeem all (but not less than all) of the Shares held by Triggering Shareholders at a price per Share
equivalent to the price set in such Sales Transaction or Alternative Sales Transaction. 
  
 If the Triggering Shareholders submit a Sales Transaction Notice to the Board pursuant to this Section 7 and no such Sales Transaction or Alternative Sales Transaction is consummated, Shareholders and Permitted
Transferees comprising a majority of such Triggering Shareholders are prohibited from participating in a request for a second Sales Transaction for a period of one year from the termination of the most recent efforts to cause a Sales Transaction or
Alternative Sales Transaction. Any provision of this Section 7 may be changed or modified, and any obligation or restriction of any party hereunder may be waived, only with the consent of the Board of the Company and the Shareholders and their
Permitted Transferees holding more than 75% in interest of the Shares held by Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees which are subject to this Agreement; provided that, if a Sales Transaction Notice has been given, any changes, waiver or
modification affecting a Sales Transaction or Alternative Sales Transaction resulting therefrom shall also require the consent of the Non-Triggering Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares held by the Non-Triggering Shareholders with respect
to such Transaction Notice. 
  
 8. Sale of the
Company. 
  
 (a) In connection with any sale of the
Company pursuant to Section 7 hereof, each Shareholder and Additional Shareholder that is selling Shares in such transaction shall receive the same proportion of each type of consideration received or to be received by all of the 
  

 15 








 Shareholders and Additional Shareholders in the aggregate; provided, however, that if the Non-Triggering
Shareholders or the Non-Triggering Person purchase the Company, such Persons may designate that some or all of the consideration allocable to their Shares if credited toward the Sales Price. 
  
 (b) In connection with any sale of the Company pursuant to Section 7 hereof,
each Shareholder and Additional Shareholder hereby agrees that such sale may take the form of a sale of all but not less than all of the Shares (in addition to a merger, consolidation or sale of assets), provided, that the Company may not cause such
sale to take such form, without the consent of such Shareholder or Additional Shareholder if the taking of such form would materially increase the aggregate tax liability payable in connection with such sale over the liability that would be payable
in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of assets, and each seller: 
  
 (i) constitutes and appoints the Triggering Shareholders as such Person’s true and lawful agents and attorneys-in-fact, with full
power and authority in such Person’s name, place and stead to execute (A) any agreement containing the terms of such a sale of stock in accordance with the foregoing, such representations and warranties involving the due authorization,
execution, delivery and binding nature as regard such Person of such agreement and the nature of such Person’s title to its Shares as such agents and attorneys-in-fact may deem to be customary and reasonable (provided that no representation or
warranty other than as to due authorization, execution, title, delivery and the binding nature of such agreement and as to the good and marketable title of the Shares shall survive the closing of such Sales Transaction), and such other terms and
provisions binding on such Persons as may be necessary to consummate such transaction, (B) such instruments of conveyance and assignment as may be customary and necessary to consummate such transaction and (C) such receipts and related instruments
as may be necessary to evidence such consummation; 
  
 (ii) authorizes such agents and attorneys-in-fact to deduct or cause to be deducted, or to pay on such Person’s behalf, such Person’s pro rata (based on the number of Shares to be sold by each seller to the total number of Shares
to be sold in the Sales Transaction) share of any fees or expenses relating to such transaction, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and advisors to the Company; 
  
 (iii) agrees to deliver to such agents and attorneys-in-fact or their designee, acting as a custodian, at or
prior to the completion of such transaction, certificates representing all of the Shares to be sold by it, which certificates shall be free of all liens, encumbrances and endorsements and shall be duly endorsed in blank or in the name of the
purchaser thereof; and 
  
 (iv) agrees to sell
such Person’s Shares on such terms notwithstanding that such Person withholds consent or approval to such sale, gives any notice to such agents and attorneys-in-fact or any other Person of any nature or takes any other action inconsistent with
such sale. 
  

 16 








 (c) Prior to the consummation of any such sale pursuant to the terms hereof, if a vote or consent of the
Board or of shareholders of the Company is required under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or applicable state law, the Board will convene a meeting at which all Directors will vote in favor of such transaction and/or will call a special
meeting of all shareholders of the Company at which each Shareholder and Additional Shareholder agrees to vote all of its Shares in favor of such transaction, as the case may be. 
  
 9. Preemptive Rights. Each Shareholder, Permitted Transferee and Approved Shareholder shall have preemptive
rights to purchase such number of Shares as shall be required to maintain their proportionate equity interest in the Company upon the future issuance of shares of Common Stock of any class, whether with or without voting privileges, under the same
terms and conditions and for the same consideration as such shares are offered or sold to any other Person. Each Shareholder, Permitted Transferee and Approved Shareholder shall also have preemptive rights to purchase, upon the future issuance of
any securities of the Company (including, without limitation, preferred stock, warrants, options or contracts (other than warrants, options or contracts issued to or entered into with employees or directors of the Company, or any subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof who were not shareholders of the Company on the date of this Agreement), or contracts exercisable for or convertible into common stock of any class) as shall be required to maintain their proportionate equity interest in the
Company, upon the same terms and for the same consideration as such securities are sold to any other Person. The preemptive rights established pursuant to this Section 9 shall not apply to (i) any issuance of Shares or other securities issued in
connection with the acquisition of stock or assets of any Person not affiliated with any Shareholder, (ii) any Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options granted to employees of the Company or pursuant to employee benefit plans so long as the
number of Shares so issued shall not exceed 8% of the Total Shares Outstanding on a fully diluted basis (as adjusted for any stock split or other similar recapitalization) or (iii) the sale of any Shares which had previously been issued (or
securities exercisable for or convertible into such Shares). Such preemptive rights shall expire at such time as a registration statement for a Public Offering becomes effective. 
  
 10. Right of Co-Sale. Except for Transfers to Permitted Transferees, no Shareholder or group of three or fewer
Shareholders owning more than 10% of the Total Shares Outstanding, whether such Shareholder is acting alone or in concert with any others pursuant to a common plan, understanding or arrangement, may agree or contract to Transfer, arrange for the
Transfer of or Transfer to any Person or group of Persons, directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, any shares of common stock or any other equity securities of the Company (including, without limitation, warrants, options,
contracts or convertible securities permitting the holder thereof to acquire any such shares upon exercise or conversion thereof), unless: 
  
 (a) The number of such Shares subject to such agreement, contract, arrangement or Transfer, when taken together with (i) the number of
shares of all other such equity securities (which, in the case of any such warrants, options, contracts or convertible securities, shall be deemed to be the aggregate number of such shares which could be so acquired upon such exercise, whether or
not such exercise may be effected presently) and (ii) all other shares subject to any such agreement, contract, arrangement or Transfer effected or entered into in connection therewith or as part of such common plan, understanding or 
  

 17 








 arrangement, is less than 5% of the total number of Shares issued and outstanding at the time such
agreement, contract or arrangement is entered into and at the time such sale is consummated; or 
  
 (b) Effective provision is made whereby each Shareholder, Permitted Transferee and Additional Shareholder is given the opportunity to sell
any portion or all of its Shares concurrently with the aforementioned sale to any such Person or group on terms (including, without limitation, the form and amount of, and the time of receipt of, consideration therefor) identical to those applicable
to such aforementioned sale; or 
  
 (c) A
registration statement for a Public Offering has become effective or such transaction is part of such Public Offering. 
  
 No opportunity shall be deemed given to any Shareholder, Permitted Transferee and Additional Shareholder for purposes of Section 10(b) above unless (i)
each Shareholder or Permitted Transferee shall have been given written notice, setting forth in detail the terms of such proposed agreement, contract, arrangement or sale, and shall have been given at least 15 days after such notice is given within
which to exercise its rights contained in Section 10(b) by written notice thereof given to the selling shareholder, (ii) the terms on which such selling shareholder actually sells his Shares or equity securities are no more favorable to such
Shareholder than the terms set forth in the notice given by it pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence, and (iii) the Person or group to which such selling shareholder actually sells his Shares or equity securities actually purchases, at or prior to
the time of purchase of such Shares, from each Shareholder, Permitted Transferee and Additional Shareholder exercising his or its rights pursuant hereto at least such number of Shares as such holder shall specify in the notice given by such holder
pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence. 
  
 11.
Registration Rights. If the Company at any time during the effectiveness of this Agreement grants registration rights to any Person, the Company shall grant substantially the same registration rights to all Shareholders and Permitted
Transferees; provided, however, that the Company may grant registration rights (i) in connection with the acquisition of stock or assets of any Person not affiliated with any Shareholder or (ii) to a lender in connection with a financing
transaction, in each case without having to grant registration rights to any Shareholder or Permitted Transferee. 
  
 12. Pledge of Shares. If requested by the Board and approved by the Shareholders and Permitted Transferees holding a majority of Shares held
by all of the Shareholders and Permitted Transferees, the Company may require the Shareholders and Additional Shareholders to pledge their Shares to secure indebtedness or obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries. Subject to applicable laws
and regulations, each Shareholder and Additional Shareholder is obligated to execute and deliver such pledge agreements, consents, financing statements or other certificates, instruments, agreements, notices or other documents as the Board, in its
sole discretion, may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith. In the event such a pledge of Shares occurs and the pledgee forecloses upon a pledge by a Shareholder or Additional Shareholder in a manner disproportionate to that of any
other Shareholders or Additional Shareholders (except for events in which such Shareholder or Additional Shareholder is in default of a covenant under its pledge agreement other than through 
  

 18 








 an act or omission of the Company), all Shareholders and Additional Shareholders shall contribute portions of their
remaining Shares in order to make such foreclosure proportionate among all Shareholders and Additional Shareholders; provided, however, that any proceeds obtained by such Shareholder or Additional Shareholder from such a foreclosure
shall be distributed among such Shareholder and all other Shareholders and Additional Shareholders making such a contribution in the proportion to the Shares held by them after such contribution. 
  
 13. Restrictions on Options. The Company, during the
effectiveness of this Agreement, shall not grant stock options to any Persons other than employees of the Company. 
  
 14. Legend. All Shareholders and Additional Shareholders agree that any certificates evidencing Shares subject to this Agreement shall be
stamped or endorsed with a legend in substantially the following form; provided, however, that in the event that Shares are registered under the Act the Company shall promptly upon request, but in any event not later than the execution
of an underwriting agreement or sales agency agreement relating thereto, deliver a replacement certificate not containing the first sentence of the legend below in exchange for the legended certificate (it being understood that such legend shall be
placed on such replacement certificate if the sale does not occur in accordance with the terms of the registration statement); and provided further, that the Company shall upon termination of this Agreement promptly upon request
deliver a replacement certificate not containing the last four sentences of the legend below in exchange for the legended certificate: 
  
 THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW,
IF ANY, AND NEITHER THE SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT OR LAW AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER. BY ITS
ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS THAT IT IS ACQUIRING THESE SHARES FOR INVESTMENT. 
  
 THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 15, 2004 (AS IT MAY BE
AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “AGREEMENT”) AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OF ITS EQUITY HOLDERS. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT IS
ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND MAY BE OBTAINED WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY. 
  
 15. Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall terminate as follows: (a) except as otherwise specified therein,
the provisions of Sections 2 (except for the last sentence of Section 2(a)), 4, 5, 7, 12 and 13 hereof shall terminate upon the first to occur of September 30, 2007 and the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Public Offering; (b) the
provisions of Section 11 hereof shall terminate two years after the date of the 
  

 19 








 effectiveness of a registration statement for a Public Offering and (c) the remaining provisions shall terminate upon the
effectiveness of a registration statement for a Public Offering; provided that any such provisions terminated as a result of the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Public Offering shall be reinstated if such Public Offering is not
consummated. 
  
 16. Dispositions in Violation of
Agreement. No Shareholder or Additional Shareholder shall make any Transfer in violation of this Agreement. If any disposition of Shares is made or attempted to be made contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other
legal or equitable remedies which it may have, the Company may refuse to recognize any transferee as one of the Company’s Additional Shareholders for any purpose including, without limitation, distribution and voting rights, until all
applicable provisions of this Agreement have been complied with. 
  
 17. Specific Performance. The parties agree that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to a party by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations set forth in this Agreement. Therefore, if
any party shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement or alleging a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy available at law, such party may seek specific performance of
the terms hereof; and any other party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate, and agrees (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to have such provision
specifically enforced against him by any court of equity, without the necessity of posting bond or other security against him, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against him enjoining or restraining any violation or threatened violation
of this Agreement. 
  
 18. Notices. Notices of any
other communication provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be hand-delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, in the case of the Company, to: Da-Lite Screen Company, Inc., 3100 North Detroit, Warsaw, Indiana
46580, Attention: Chairman and President (or such other address as the Company may designate in a written notice to each other party to this Agreement), in the case of any Shareholder, to his address as listed on Schedule I to this Agreement, or to
any other address as he (or his Permitted Transferee) may designate in a written notice to the Company with a copy to each other party to this Agreement and, in the case of Additional Shareholders, to a representative from time to time so designated
by a majority of the Additional Shareholders. All notices mailed pursuant to this Section 18 shall be presumed received five days after the date of mailing. 
  
 19. Modification and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement can be changed or modified, and
any obligation or restriction of any party hereunder can be waived only with the consent of the Company and the Shareholders and Additional Shareholders holding more than 66 2/3% in interest of all of the issued and outstanding Shares subject to this Agreement. 
  
 20. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and to the extent provided
herein shall inure to the benefit of their respective legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 
  

 20 








 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will not be deemed effective until all parties have executed a counterpart of this Agreement. 
  
 22. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent,
but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions, unless such a construction would be unreasonable. It is the intent and
understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then
such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency. No determination by any such court or agency that a specific party’s obligations hereunder are unenforceable in whole or in part
hereunder shall in any respect be construed to impair or otherwise affect any obligations of any other party hereunder. 
  
 23. Assignments. No Shareholder or Additional Shareholder may assign any of his or her rights hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Company or the holders of more than 66 2/3% in interest of all of the Shares subject to this Agreement; the
Company may at any time assign its rights hereunder to any Person, including specifically, without limitation, the Company’s right to purchase Shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof. 
  
 24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties
as a final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. 
  
 25. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN THE STATE OF INDIANA. 
  

 21
