Agreement and until the provisions of this Section 2 cease to be effective, each
holder of Securityholder Securities shall vote all such holder's Securityholder
Securities and any other voting securities of the Company over which such holder
has voting control and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions
within such holder's control (whether in such holder's capacity as a
securityholder, director, representative, member of a board committee, officer
of the Company or otherwise, and including, without limitation, attendance at
meetings in person or by proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum and execution
of written consents in lieu of meetings), and the Company shall take all

               (i)  The authorized number of representatives on the Board shall
     be established and remain at eight representatives; provided that at such
                                                         --------
     time as MDCP ceases to be entitled (pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(A)) to
     designate four representatives to the Board, the authorized number of
     representatives on the Board shall be reduced to and thereafter remain at
     seven representatives.

               (ii) The following individuals shall be elected to the Board:

                    (A)  four representatives designated by the holders of a
          majority of the MDCP Equity held by MDCP and its Affiliates so long as
          MDCP and its Affiliates continue to hold a majority of the outstanding
          Purchaser Securities; thereafter, three representatives designated by
          the holders of a majority of the MDCP Equity held by MDCP and its

          representative designated by the holders of a majority of the MDCP
          Equity held by MDCP and its Affiliates so long as MDCP and its

          majority of the DeGeorge Equity held by DeGeorge, his Family Group,
          and his Affiliates so long as DeGeorge, his Family Group, and his
          Affiliates continue to hold at least 70% of the DeGeorge Equity; and
          thereafter, one representative designated by the holders of a majority
          of the DeGeorge Equity held by DeGeorge, his Family Group, and his
          Affiliates so long as DeGeorge, his Family Group, and his Affiliates
          continue to hold at least 40% of the DeGeorge Equity (such
          representatives, the "DeGeorge Representatives");

          Representative"); and
          --------------

               (ii) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, the composition
     of the board of directors (or comparable governing body) of each of the

                                ---------
     Board; provided that, except as otherwise determined by the Board, if the
            --------
     laws of the jurisdiction in which a Company Subsidiary is organized
     prohibit its Sub Board from having the same board composition as prescribed
     for the Board, or if such Sub Board having such board composition would
     result in an adverse tax consequence to any representative serving thereon
     or to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or members, (A) the authorized
     number of representatives for such Sub Board shall be the same as that of
     the Board, (B) the representative positions for such Sub Board shall be
     filled with representatives who satisfy such laws or avoid such adverse tax
     consequence, as appropriate, and who are designated by the holders entitled
     to designate the representatives serving on the Board in the same
     proportion as such representatives, to the extent practicable, and (C) if
     permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary is
     organized and if such would not result in an adverse tax consequence to any
     representative serving on such Sub Board or to the Company or any of its
     Subsidiaries or members, the parent entity of such Subsidiary shall execute
     and maintain a "unanimous declaration of shareholders" vesting the sole
     power and authority to direct the affairs of such Subsidiary in its
     shareholders.

               (iv) Committees of the Board or a Sub Board shall be created only
     upon the approval of a majority of the members of the Board or the
     applicable Sub Board, and the composition of each such committee shall be
     determined by the Board or the applicable Sub Board.

               (v)  Any representative will be removed from the Board or a Sub
     Board, with or without cause, at the written request of the holder or
     holders entitled to designate such representative to serve on such Board or
     Sub Board, but only upon such written notice and under no other
     circumstances; provided that if any Management Representative ceases to be
                    --------
     an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such representative
     shall be removed as a member of the Board and each Sub Board promptly after
     his or her employment ceases.

               (vi) If any representative ceases to serve as a member of the
     Board or any Sub Board during his or her term of office, the resulting
     vacancy on the Board or Sub Board shall be filled by a representative (or
     in the case of a vacant Management Representative

                                      -3-

     position, a member of the Company's management) designated by the holder or
     holders entitled to designate the departing representative.

               (vii)   If any party eligible to designate a representative under
     this Section 2 fails to so designate, the individual previously holding
     such representative position shall be elected to such position, unless such
     individual has been removed as a representative or fails or declines to
     serve, in which case such vacancy shall remain until filled with a
     representative designated by the holder or holders which failed to
     designate an individual to fill such representative position.

               (viii)  If any party becomes ineligible, by virtue of the terms
     of subparagraph 2(a)(ii), to designate a representative to fill a
     representative position pursuant to such subparagraph, all rights and
     entitlements hereunder to designate (and the concomitant rights to remove,
     replace, etc.) persons to fill such position (unless such position ceases
     to exist by operation of the proviso in Section 2(a)(i)) shall thereafter
     be exercised by the holders of a majority of the Purchaser Securities then
     outstanding.

               (ix)    Each representative shall be entitled to one vote on all
     matters submitted to a vote of the Board; provided that so long as MDCP is
                                               --------
     entitled (pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(A)) to designate four
     representatives to the Board, one of the MDCP Representatives (which MDCP
     Representative shall be selected from among the MDCP Representatives
     present in person or by proxy for a Board vote by the MDCP Representatives
     present in person (or, if none, by proxy) for such vote) shall be entitled
     to two votes (and, during such time as an MDCP Representative is entitled
     to two votes, a "majority" of the representatives on the Board shall for
     all purposes (including determinations of the existence of a quorum or of a
     majority vote required for action by the Board) mean representatives
     entitled to cast a majority of the total votes that may be cast by all
     representatives); and provided further that at such time as MDCP ceases to
                       --------------------
     be entitled (pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(A)) to designate four
     representatives to the Board, each representative shall thereafter be
     entitled to only one vote on all matters submitted to a vote by the Board.

          (b) Director Expenses; Indemnity Insurance; Exculpation.  The Company
              ---------------------------------------------------
shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each representative
in connection with attending the meetings of the Board, any Sub Board and/or any
committee thereof. So long as any representative designated under this Agreement
serves on the Board and for five years thereafter, the Company shall maintain
directors and officers indemnity insurance coverage satisfactory to the Board at
the time such insurance is first obtained and not thereafter reduced in amount
or coverage, and the LLC Agreement (or the Company's other organizational
documents, as appropriate) shall provide for indemnification and exculpation of
representatives to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

          (c) Attendance Right.  If at any time MDCP, DeGeorge, or Meritage
              ----------------
fails for any reason, or becomes ineligible, to designate any representatives
pursuant to this Section 2, then so long as such Investor together with its
Affiliates (and in the case of DeGeorge, Family Group) continues to hold at
least 10% of the MDCP Equity, DeGeorge Equity, or Meritage Equity, as

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

appropriate, the Company shall (i) permit an individual selected by such
Investor to attend as a non-voting observer (or, in the case of a telephonic
conference, listener) all meetings of the Board, any Sub Board, or any
committees thereof, (ii) provide such individual with all written materials and
other information (including, without limitation, copies of meeting minutes and
notices of future meetings) given to representatives in connection with such
meetings at the same time such materials and information are given to the
representatives, and (iii) pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
such individual in connection with attending such meetings.

          (d)  Termination.  The provisions of this Section 2 shall terminate
               -----------
automatically and be of no further force and effect upon the consummation of a
Sale of the Company; provided that the requirements of the second sentence of
                     --------
Section 2(b) shall continue in full force for the time periods referenced
therein.

          3.   Restrictions on Transfer of Executive Securities.  Each holder of
               ------------------------------------------------
Executive Securities accepts, acknowledges, and agrees that the Executive
Securities held by such Person and its transferees are subject to significant
restrictions on transfer, repurchase options, and certain other agreements set
forth in the Executive Securities Agreement to which such Person is a party.

     Securities (a "Transfer") at any time prior to the second anniversary of

     other than Investor Securities, Transfer any Purchaser Securities at any
     time after the expiration of the applicable time period set forth in
     subparagraph 4(a)(ii) above), except pursuant to (A) a Sale of the Company,
     (B) a Public Sale, (C) a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), (D) the
     repurchase provisions or the put rights provisions set forth in the Equity
     Purchase Agreement, (E) the forfeiture provisions set forth in the
     Performance Vesting Agreement, or (F) the provisions of paragraphs 4(b) and

          (b)  First Refusal Rights.
               --------------------

     defined below), (D) the repurchase provisions or the put rights provisions
     set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement, or (E) the forfeiture
     provisions set forth in the Performance Vesting Agreement), the
     Securityholder desiring to make such Transfer (the "Transferring
                                                         ------------
     Securityholder") shall deliver a written notice (the "Offer Notice") to
     --------------                                        ------------
     each other Securityholder, specifying in reasonable detail the identity of
     the prospective transferee(s), the number and type of Purchaser Securities
     to be transferred (the "Offered Securities") and the price and other terms
                             ------------------
     and conditions of the proposed Transfer. The Transferring Securityholder
     shall not consummate such proposed Transfer until at least 30 days after
     the delivery of the Offer Notice, unless the parties to the Transfer have
     been finally determined pursuant to this Section 4 prior to the expiration
     of such 30-day period (the date of the first to occur of such final
     determination or such expiration is referred to herein as the
     "Authorization Date").
      ------------------

               (ii)   Each holder of Purchaser Securities may elect to purchase
     all (but not less than all) of such holder's Pro Rata Share (as defined
     below) of the Offered Securities at the price and on the other terms set
     forth in the Offer Notice, by delivering written notice of such election to
     the Transferring Securityholder within 20 days after delivery of the Offer
     Notice. Any Offered Securities not elected to be purchased by the end of
     such 20-day period shall during the immediately following 10-day period be
     reoffered by the Transferring Securityholder on a pro rata basis to the
     holders of Purchaser Securities who have elected to purchase their Pro Rata
     Share, and so on until the holders of Purchaser Securities have elected to
     purchase all of the Offered Securities or no holders of Purchaser
     Securities desire to elect to purchase any remaining reoffered Offered
     Securities. For purposes of this paragraph, the "Pro Rata Share" of each
                                                      --------------
     holder of Purchaser Securities shall be equal to the quotient of (x) the
     number of Purchaser Securities then held by such holder, divided by (y) the
                                                              ----------
     aggregate number of Purchaser Securities then held by all holders of
     Purchaser Securities (other than the Transferring Securityholder).

               (iii)  If the holders of Purchaser Securities have elected to
     purchase all of the Offered Shares from the Transferring Securityholder,
     such purchase shall be consummated as soon as practicable after the
     delivery of the election notice(s) to the Transferring Securityholder, but
     in any event within 30 days after the Authorization Date. Notwithstanding
     any other provision hereof, if the sale price, or any portion thereof, for
     the Offered Securities is not payable in the form of cash at closing or
     cash payable on a defined basis (such as pursuant to simple promissory
     notes issued by the prospective purchaser described in the Offer Notice),
     each holder of Investor Securities electing to purchase Offered Securities
     pursuant to this paragraph shall be required to pay only such portion, if
     any, of the sale price described in the Offer Notice as consists of such
     cash or cash-payable consideration, and delivery of such consideration to
     the Transferring Securityholder shall be payment in full for such Offered
     Securities.

               (iv)   If the holders of Purchaser Securities do not elect, in
     the aggregate, to purchase all of the Offered Securities from the
     Transferring Securityholder, all elections to purchase such Offered
     Securities shall be null and void, and the Transferring Securityholder
     shall have the right, within the 90 days following the Authorization Date
     and subject to the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     provisions of subparagraph 4(c) below, to transfer such Offered Securities
     to the transferee(s) specified in the Offer Notice in the amounts specified
     in the Offer Notice at a price not less than the price per security
     specified in the Offer Notice and on other terms no more favorable to the
     transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Offer Notice. Any Purchaser
     Securities not so transferred within such 90-day period shall be reoffered
     to the holders of Purchaser Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(b)
     prior to any subsequent Transfer.

          (c)  Participation Rights.
               --------------------

               (i)  Any holder of Purchaser Securities or Fully Vested
     Securities who is not purchasing any Offered Securities pursuant to
     paragraph 4(b) above may elect to participate (as set forth herein) in any
     sale of Offered Securities pursuant to subparagraph 4(b)(iv) above (and
     only in sales pursuant to such subparagraph) at the Equivalent Price (as
     defined below) and on substantially the same terms applicable to the
     Transferring Securityholder by giving written notice of such election to
     the Transferring Securityholder within 30 days after delivery of the Offer
     Notice.

               (ii) Each holder of Fully Vested Securities electing to
     participate in such Transfer shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated
     Transfer a number of Fully Vested Securities equal to the product of (A)
     the number of Fully Vested Securities held by such holder, times (B) a
                                                                -----
     fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Offered Securities
     proposed to be sold in such contemplated Transfer, and the denominator of
     which is the aggregate number of Purchaser Securities and Executive
     Securities (other than Un-Performance-Vested Securities) then outstanding.

herein, this Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein and related

<PAGE>

rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that
money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions
of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any
court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce
or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

          15.  Amendment and Waiver.  The provisions of this Agreement may be
               --------------------
amended, modified, or waived only with the prior written consent of the holders
of a majority of the Purchaser Securities outstanding at the time such amendment
or waiver becomes effective; provided that if any such modification, amendment
                             --------
or waiver would adversely affect any Securityholder or Securityholders relative
to the Securityholders voting in favor thereof, such modification, amendment or
waiver shall also require the prior written approval of the holders of a
majority of the Securityholder Securities held by the Securityholder(s) so
adversely affected; and provided further that if any such amendment,
                    --------------------
modification or waiver is to a provision in this Agreement that requires a
specific vote to take an action thereunder or to take an action with respect to
the matters described therein, such amendment, modification or waiver shall not
be effective unless such vote is obtained with respect to such amendment,
modification or waiver. No course of dealing or the failure of any party to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way operate as a
waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party
thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms.

          16.  Notices.  All notices, demands or other communications to be

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

(whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of
Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement
(and all schedules and exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction's
choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other
jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

          18.  Business Days.  If any time period for giving notice or taking
               -------------
action hereunder expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday
in the State of Colorado, the Republic of France, or the jurisdiction where the
Company's principal office is located, the time period shall automatically be
extended to the business day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday.

          19.  Descriptive Headings; Interpretation; No Strict Construction.
               ------------------------------------------------------------
The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the
context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns,
and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such
agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to
time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. The use of
the words "include" or "including" in this Agreement shall be by way of example
rather than by limitation. The use of the words "or," "either" or "any" shall
not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted
jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise
favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the
provisions of this Agreement.

to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection
herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments
hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile
machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or
instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if
it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request
of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party
hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all
other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall
raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any
signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the
use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a
contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

          21.  Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall be valid,
               --------------------------

           6J.   Preemptive Rights.
                 -----------------

          (i)    If the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of any Common
Units (or any securities containing options or rights to acquire any Common
Units), other than an Exempt Issuance (as defined below), the Company shall
first offer to sell to each holder of Purchaser Securities or Fully Vested
Securities a portion of the securities to be issued equal to the number of
securities to be issued multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the
                        -------------
number of Purchaser Securities and Fully Vested Securities held by such holder,
by (2) the total number of Purchaser Securities and Fully Vested Securities then
outstanding. Each such holder shall be entitled to purchase such securities at
the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms as such securities are
to be offered to any other Persons; provided that if all Persons entitled to
                                    --------
purchase or receive such securities are required to also purchase other
securities of the Company, the holders exercising their rights pursuant to this
paragraph shall also be required to purchase the same strip of securities (on
the same terms and conditions) that such other Persons are required to purchase.
The purchase price for all securities offered to such holders hereunder shall be
payable in cash.

          (ii)   In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, a holder of
Purchaser Securities or Fully Vested Securities must within 30 days after
receipt of written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the
securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and such
holder's percentage allotment, deliver a written notice to the Company
describing such holder's election hereunder.  If all of the securities offered
to the holders of Purchaser Securities and Fully Vested Securities are not fully
subscribed, the remaining stock and securities shall be reoffered by the Company
to the holders purchasing their full allotment upon the terms set forth in this
paragraph, except that such holders must exercise their rights within 5 business
days after receipt of such reoffer.

          (iii)  Upon the expiration of the offering periods described above,
the Company shall be entitled to sell such securities which the holders of
Purchaser Securities and Fully Vested Securities have not elected to purchase
during the 180 days following such expiration at a price not less and on other
terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than that
offered to such holders.  Any securities offered or sold by the Company after
such 180-day period must be

                                     -20-
<PAGE>

reoffered to the holders of Purchaser Securities and Fully Vested Securities
pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.

          (iv)   The rights of the holders of Purchaser Securities and Fully
Vested Securities under this paragraph 6J shall terminate upon the consummation
of the first to occur of (x) a Qualified Public Offering and (y) a Sale of the
Company.

          (v)    For purposes of this Agreement, "Exempt Issuance" shall mean
                                                  ---------------
any issuance (a) of Preferred Units at the Closing as contemplated under this
Agreement, (b) of Common Units as contemplated under the Executive Securities
Agreements or to Key Employees as contemplated under the LLC Agreement, (c) of
securities upon conversion or exercise of, or in exchange for, any securities of
the Company or any options or other rights to acquire securities of the Company,
(d) to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of a
Permitted Securities Plan (as defined above), (e) of the Company's securities in
connection with the acquisition of another company or business, (f) as a pro
rata distribution with respect to the Company's Common Units, (g) pursuant to
any securities split, securities dividend, recapitalization or reorganization
that does not dilute the economic interest of any holder of Common Units, (h) of
warrants or equity securities issued to a lender in connection with its loan to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) of Senior Units in accordance with
the LLC Agreement pursuant to the repurchase provisions set forth in the
Executive Securities Agreements or pursuant to the forfeiture provisions set
forth in the Performance Vesting Agreement, or (j) pursuant to a Public
Offering.

          (vi)   Each of the parties to this Agreement accepts, acknowledges,
and agrees that the provisions of this Section 6 are entered into for the
benefit of the holders of Fully Vested Securities as third-party beneficiaries,
and that such provisions shall be enforceable by the holders of Fully Vested
Securities as provided herein.

          Section 7.  Purchasers' Put Rights.
                      ----------------------

          7A.    Put Right.
                 ---------

          (i)    At any time and from time to time on or after the seventh
anniversary of the date of the Prior Agreement, but not after the consummation
of a Qualified Public Offering or a Sale of the Company, each holder of
Purchaser Securities and Class B Senior Units shall have the right to require
the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding
Purchaser Securities and Class B Senior Units held by such holder at the
Repurchase Price (as defined below) by giving written notice to the Company of
such holder's exercise of this right (the "Exercise Notice").
                                           ---------------

          (ii)   Within 10 days after receipt of an Exercise Notice, the Company
shall give written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to each other holder of
                                -----------------
Purchaser Securities and Class B Senior Units, setting forth the identity of the
holder tendering such Exercise Notice, the number of Purchaser Securities and
Class B Senior Units to be repurchased from such holder, and a reasonable

                                     -21-
<PAGE>

approximation of the fair market value of the Company's assets (net of any
liabilities) and of each Purchaser Security and Class B Senior Unit at the time
of such Repurchase Notice. Each other holder of Purchaser Securities or Class B
Senior Units shall be entitled to join in such repurchase and require the
Company to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Purchaser Securities and
Class B Senior Units held by such holder at the same closing, at the same price,
and on the same terms as the holder tendering the Exercise Notice by giving
Exercise Notice within 20 days after the date of the Repurchase Notice.

          (iii)  Promptly (but in any event within five days after the end of
this 20-day period), the Company shall send each holder of Purchaser Securities
and Class B Senior Units written notice updating the information contained in
the Repurchase Notice (the "Revised Repurchase Notice").
                            -------------------------

          (iv)   Within 10 days after the Repurchase Price (as defined below)
for the Purchaser Securities and Class B Senior Units to be repurchased at any
repurchase hereunder has been determined as set forth below, the Company shall
send a notice to each holder of Purchaser Securities and Class B Senior Units
setting forth the consideration to be paid for the Purchaser Securities and
Class B Senior Units to be repurchased, as well as a time and place, mutually
agreeable to the Company and the holders of a majority of the total number of
Purchaser Securities and Class B Senior Units to be repurchased (treating the
Purchaser Securities and the Class B Senior Units as a single class for purposes
of such consent), for the closing of the repurchase transaction. At the closing
of the repurchase transaction, the electing holders shall sell to the Company
and the Company shall purchase from such holders the Purchaser Securities and
Class B Senior Units specified in the Revised Repurchase Notice at the
Repurchase Price (as defined below).

          7B.    Duties of the Company.  The Company shall do everything within
                 ---------------------
its power under the law and the LLC Agreement, including but not limited to
assuming or refinancing debt, obtaining consents or waivers from its or its
Subsidiaries' lenders, recapitalizing the Company, consummating a Public
Offering, or selling the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, to enable
the Company to satisfy its repurchase obligations under this Section 7 (and each
holder of Purchaser Securities shall vote all Company securities over which it
has voting control, and shall take all such further actions, as may be necessary
or desirable to effectuate the foregoing).

          7C.    Repurchase Price.  The repurchase price for each Purchaser
                 ----------------
Security or Class B Senior Unit repurchased by the Company under this Section 7
(the "Repurchase Price") shall be equal to (i) in the case of any Preferred
      ----------------
Unit, the greater of (A) the "Liquidation Value" of such Preferred Unit
(together with all accrued but unpaid "Preferred Yield" thereon) as of the date
of valuation as calculated under the LLC Agreement and (B) the Fair Market Value
for such Preferred Unit, and (ii) in the case of any other Purchaser Security or
any Class B Senior Unit, the Fair Market Value for such security.

                                     -22-
<PAGE>

          7D.    Fair Market Value of Securities.
                 -------------------------------

          (i)    The "Fair Market Value" of any Purchaser Securities and Class B
                      -----------------
Senior Units to be repurchased hereunder (the "Valued Securities") shall be
                                               -----------------
determined in accordance with this paragraph 7D.

          (ii)   The holders of the Valued Securities to be repurchased and the
holders of the Company's Common Units (other than Valued Securities) (determined
on a fully diluted, as-if-converted basis, but excluding all Un-Performance-
Vested Securities) shall attempt in good faith to agree on the Fair Market Value
of the Valued Securities to be repurchased. Any agreement reached by the holders
of a majority of the Valued Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of a
majority of the Company's Common Units (other than Valued Securities)
(determined on a fully diluted, as-if-converted basis, but excluding all Un-
Performance-Vested Securities), on the other hand, shall be final and binding on
all parties hereto.

          (iii)  If such Persons are unable to reach such agreement within 20
days after the giving of any Repurchase Notice, the Fair Market Value of any
Valued Securities that are publicly traded shall be the average, over a period
of 21 days consisting of the date of the Exercise Notice and the 20 consecutive
business days prior to that date, of the average of the closing prices of the
sales of such securities on the principal securities exchange on which such
securities may at that time be listed, or, if there have been no sales on such
exchange on any day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on
such exchange at the end of such day, or, if on any day such securities are not
so listed, the average of the representative bid and asked prices quoted in the
Nasdaq System as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, or, if on any day such securities
are not quoted in the Nasdaq System, the average of the highest bid and lowest
asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by
the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or any similar successor
organization.

          (iv)   If such Persons are unable to reach agreement pursuant to
subparagraph (ii) within 20 days after the giving of such Repurchase Notice, and
to the extent any Valued Securities are not publicly traded:

                 (a)  The holders of a majority of the Valued Securities to be
     repurchased, on the one hand, and the holders of a majority of the
     Company's Common Units (other than Valued Securities) (determined on a
     fully diluted, as-if-converted basis, but excluding all Un-Performance-
     Vested Securities), on the other hand, shall each, within 10 days
     thereafter, choose one investment banker or other appraiser with experience
     in valuing companies such as the Company, and the two investment
     bankers/appraisers so selected shall together select a third investment
     banker/appraiser similarly qualified.

                 (b)  The three investment bankers/appraisers shall first
     appraise the fair market value of the Company's equity (based on the
     assumption of an orderly, arm's length sale (structured to produce the
     highest price to the equity holders of the Company, whether

                                     -23-
<PAGE>

     such structure is a merger, combination, sale of equity securities, sale of
     assets, or otherwise) to a willing unaffiliated buyer (or to a willing
     affiliated strategic buyer, provided that the investment bankers/appraisers
                                 --------
     shall not consider any premium that such affiliated strategic buyer would
     be willing to pay to the extent such premium is attributable solely to such
     Person's then current affiliation with the Company, unless the Company or
     its equityholders have received a fully financed, firm Commitment offer
     (with no material conditions) from such affiliated strategic buyer to
     purchase a majority (based on common equity equivalents) of the Company's
     outstanding equity at a price that includes such premium, it being
                                                               --------
     understood, however, that the investment bankers/appraisers shall consider,
     -------------------
     without the need for such a firm commitment offer, the premium, if any,
     that is attributable to such Person's future expected synergies to be
     generated by combining such Person's operations with those of the Company
     and its Subsidiaries if such Person were to acquire the Company). The three
     investment bankers/appraisers shall then appraise the fair market value of
     such non-publicly-traded Valued Securities as follows:

                    (1)  the fair market value of each Common Unit (or
          equivalent common equity security) shall be equal to the fair market
          value of the Company's equity divided by the total number of Common
                                        ----------
          Units (or equivalent common equity securities) outstanding on the date
          of the giving of the Exercise Notice (determined on a fully diluted,
          as-if-converted basis, but excluding all Un-Performance-Vested
          Securities);

                    (2)  the fair market value of each Preferred Unit shall be
          equal to the greater of (x) the Liquidation Value (as defined in the
          LLC Agreement) of such Preferred Unit, together with all accrued but
          unpaid Preferred Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) thereon, and
          (y) the fair market value (determined in accordance with subparagraph
          (1) above) of the Common Units (including fractional units) into which
          such Preferred Unit is convertible on the date of the giving of the
          Exercise Notice;

                    (3)  the fair market value of each Class B Senior Unit shall
          be equal to the Class B Senior Value (as defined in the LLC Agreement)
          of such Class B Senior Unit, together with all accrued but unpaid
          Class B Senior Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) thereon, on the
          date of the giving of the Exercise Notice; and

                    (4)  the fair market value of any other non-publicly-traded
          Valued Securities shall be the fair value of such securities,
          determined on the basis of an orderly, arm's length sale to a willing,
          unaffiliated buyer, taking into account all relevant factors
          determinative of value.

     The three investment bankers/appraisers shall, within thirty days of their
     retention, provide the written results of such appraisals to the holders of
     a majority of the Valued Securities to be repurchased, on the one hand, and
     the holders of a majority of the Company's Common

                                     -24-
<PAGE>

     Units (other than Valued Securities) (determined on a fully diluted, as-if-
     converted basis, but excluding all Un-Performance-Vested Securities), on
     the other hand.

               (c)  The "Fair Market Value" of the non-publicly-traded Valued
                         -----------------
     Securities to be repurchased shall be the average of the two appraisals
     closest to each other, and such amount shall be final and binding on all
     parties hereto; provided that any Person electing to have Purchaser
                     --------
     Securities repurchased hereunder may at any time within five days after
     receiving written notice of such determination rescind its prior exercise
     of such Person's put rights by giving written notice of such revocation to
     the Company, and upon such revocation the revoking party will be treated as
     if it had never exercised such put right hereunder.

               (d)  The costs of such appraisal shall be borne by the Company.

          Section 8.  Transfer of Restricted Securities.
                      ---------------------------------

          8A.  General Provisions.  Restricted Securities are transferable only

144 or Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule
or rules then in force) if such rule is available, and (iii) subject to the
various conditions and prohibitions set forth in this Agreement (including,
without limitation, paragraph 8B below) and in the other agreements contemplated
hereby (including, without limitation, the Securityholders Agreement, the
Executive Securities Agreements, and the Performance Vesting Agreement), any
other legally available means of transfer.

          8B.  Opinion Delivery.  In connection with the transfer of any
               ----------------
Restricted Securities (other than a transfer described in paragraph 8A(i) or
(ii) above), the holder thereof shall deliver written notice to the Company
describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed transfer, together with
an opinion of Kirkland & Ellis or other counsel which (to the Company's
reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to the
effect that such transfer of Restricted Securities may be effected without
registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. In
addition, if the holder of the Restricted Securities delivers to the Company an
opinion of Kirkland & Ellis or such other counsel that no subsequent transfer of
such Restricted Securities shall require registration under the Securities Act,
the Company shall promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new
certificates for such Restricted Securities which do not bear the Securities Act
legend set forth in paragraph 5C above. If the Company is not required to
deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities not bearing such legend,
the holder thereof shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee
has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the
conditions contained in this Section 8 and paragraph 5C.

          8C.  Rule 144A.  Upon the request of any holder of Purchaser
               ---------

transferees all information regarding the Company required to be delivered in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

of such Restricted Securities, remove the legend set forth in paragraph 5C from
