     (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3 to the contrary,
with respect to each Executive who has been employed by the Company or its

consummation of a Sale of the Company or (ii) the consummation of an IPO, all

Parties, if any, or their respective permitted transferee as of such date shall

     3. Repurchase Option.  With respect to each Executive, in the event such
Executive's employment with the Company is terminated  (the "Termination") for

                                      -4-

<PAGE>   5

repurchase by the Company and BRS (or its designee) pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 3 (the "Repurchase Option").

     (a) With respect to each holder of Executive Stock, the purchase price for
(x) each Unvested Common Share will be Original Cost for such share (with
Unvested Common Shares having the lowest cost subject to repurchase prior to
Unvested Common Shares with a higher cost) and (y) each Vested Common Share and
each share of Junior Preferred Stock will be the Fair Value for such share.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event any such
Termination is by the Company for Cause, the purchase price for each share of
Common Stock (whether vested or unvested) shall be the Original Cost of such
share.

     (b) With respect to each Executive, the Board may elect to cause the
Company to purchase all or any portion of Executive Stock by delivering written
notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to the holder or holders of the Executive
Stock within 45 days after the Termination; provided, that in the event the
Company elects to purchase less than all of such Executive Stock, the Company
may not purchase any shares of Common Stock unless it also purchases a pro rata
portion of shares of Junior Preferred Stock.  The Repurchase Notice will set
forth the number of Unvested Common Shares, Vested Common Shares and shares of
Junior Preferred Stock to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate
consideration to be paid for such securities and the time and place for the
closing of the transaction.  The number of shares to be repurchased by the
Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the shares of
Executive Stock held by the Executive at the time of delivery of the Repurchase
Notice.  If the number of shares of Executive Stock then held by such Executive
is less than the total number of shares of Executive Stock the Company has
elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining shares elected to
be purchased from the other holder(s) of Executive Stock (i.e. such Executive's
Related Parties or any Permitted Transferee under the Stockholders Agreement)
under this Agreement, pro rata according to the number of shares of Executive
Stock held by such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase
Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share).  The number
of Unvested Common Shares, Vested Common Shares and shares of Junior Preferred
Stock to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among the Executive and the
other holders of Executive Stock (if any) pro rata according to the number of
shares of Executive Stock to be purchased from such Persons.

     (c) With respect to each Executive, if for any reason the Company does not
elect to purchase all of the Executive Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option,
BRS (or its designee) shall be entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for
all or any portion of the Executive Stock that the Company has not elected to
purchase (the "Available Shares").  Available Shares which are Vested Common
Shares are referred to herein as "Available Vested Common Shares", Available
Shares which are Unvested Common Shares are referred to herein as "Available
Unvested Common Shares" and Available Shares which are shares of Junior
Preferred Stock are referred to herein as "Available Junior Preferred Shares".
As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be
Available Shares, but in any event within 45 days after the Termination, the
Company shall give written notice (the "Option Notice") to BRS (or its
designee) setting forth the number of any Available Vested Common Shares,
Available Unvested Common Shares and Available Junior Preferred Shares.  BRS
(or its designee) may elect to purchase all or a portion of the Available
Shares by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Option
Notice has been

                                      -5-

<PAGE>   6

given by the Company;  provided, however, that in the event BRS (or its
designee) elects to purchase less than all of the Available Shares, BRS (or its
designee) may not purchase any Available Unvested Common Shares or Available
Vested Common Shares unless it also purchases a pro rata portion of Available
Junior Preferred Shares.  As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten
days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company
shall notify each holder of Executive Stock as to the number of Available
Vested Common Shares, Available Unvested Common Shares and Available Junior
Preferred Shares being purchased from such holder by BRS (or its designee) (the
"Supplemental Repurchase Notice").  At the time the Company delivers the
Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the holder(s) of Executive Stock, the Company
shall also deliver written notice to BRS (or its designee) setting forth the
number of Vested Common Shares, Unvested Common Shares and shares of Junior
Preferred Stock which BRS (or its designee) is entitled to purchase, the
aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the
transaction.

     (d) With respect to each  Executive, the closing of the purchase of the
Executive Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date
designated by the Company in the Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Repurchase
Notice, which date shall not be later than the 60th day after the delivery of
the later of such notices to be delivered (or, if later, the 15th day after the
Fair Value is finally determined) nor earlier than the fifth day after such
delivery.  The Company and/or BRS (or its designee) will pay for the Executive
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option by delivery of a
certified or cashier's check or wire transfer of funds.  The purchasers of
Executive Stock hereunder will be entitled to receive customary representations
and warranties from the sellers thereof as to title, authority and capacity to
sell and to require all sellers' signatures to be guaranteed.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
all repurchases of Executive Stock by the Company shall be subject to
applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law.  If
any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Executive Stock hereunder
which the Company is otherwise entitled to make, the Company may make such
repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions.

     4. Restrictions on Transfer.

     (a) The certificates representing the Executive Stock will bear the
following legend:

designee) exchanged for certain shares of Executive Stock pursuant to Section
3.2 of the Merger Agreement.

     (b) the Executive Stock to be acquired by such Purchaser will be acquired
for such Purchaser's own account (or for the account of one or more members of

distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable
state securities laws, and the Executive Stock will not be disposed of in
contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

     (c) no commission, fee or other remuneration is to be paid or given,

court of competent jurisdiction, entered within the last five years,

     (f) such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of such Purchaser's

     (h) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as the same
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles), and
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Purchaser
does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any
agreement, contract or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or any
judgment, order or decree to which such Purchaser is subject.

     (i) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Stock to such
Purchaser, and as a condition thereto, such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
that neither the issuance of the Executive Stock to the Purchaser (or to the
account of such Purchaser) nor any provision contained herein shall, in the
case of any Purchaser who is an officer or employee of the Company, entitle
such Purchaser to remain in the employment of the Company and its Subsidiaries
or affect the right of the Company to terminate such Purchaser's employment at
any time for any reason.

     6. Confidential Information.  Each Executive acknowledges that the
information, observations and data obtained by him/her while employed by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries concerning the business or affairs of the
Company or any Subsidiary ("Confidential Information") are the property of the
Company or such Subsidiary.  Therefore, each Executive agrees that he/she will
not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any
Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Board, unless
and to the extent that the aforementioned

                                      -8-

<PAGE>   9

matters (i) become generally known to and available for use by the public other
than as a result of such Executive's acts or omissions to act or (ii) are
required to be disclosed under applicable law or a duly issued subpoena.  Each
Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of such  Executive's
employment, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes,
plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and
data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, Work
Product (as defined below) and the business of the Company or any Subsidiary
which he/she may then possess or have under his/her control.

     7. Inventions and Patents.  Each Executive agrees that all inventions,
innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings,
reports, and all similar or related information which relates to the Company's
or any of its Subsidiaries' actual or anticipated business, research and
development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived,
developed or made by such Executive while employed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries ("Work Product") belong to the Company or such Subsidiary.  The
Executive will promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all
actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after such
Executive's employment period) to establish and confirm such ownership
(including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and
other instruments).

     8. Noncompete, Nonsolicitation.

     (a) Each Executive acknowledges that in the course of his/her employment
with the Company and its Subsidiaries he/she has become familiar, and he will
become familiar, with the Company's and its Subsidiaries' trade secrets and
with other Confidential Information and that his/her services have been and
will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its
Subsidiaries.  Therefore, such Executive agrees that, during the time he/she is
employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries and thereafter for a period equal
to six (6) months, or such longer period during which such Executive receives
compensation from the Company pursuant to such Executive's TPA (the "Noncompete
Period"), he/she will not directly or indirectly own, manage, control,
participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in
any business (including by himself or through any other entity) competing with
the businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries as such businesses exist or
are in process on the date of the termination of such Executive's employment.
Nothing herein will prohibit any  Executive from being a passive owner of not
more than 2% of the outstanding stock of a corporation which is publicly
traded, so long as such Executive has no active participation in the business
of such corporation.

     (b) During the Noncompete Period, each Executive shall not directly or
indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to leave the employ of the
Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way materially interfere with the
relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and any
employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company within the last twelve months prior to the
termination of such Executive's employment with the Company, or (iii) induce or
attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to cease doing business with
the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way materially interfere with the
relationship

                                      -9-

<PAGE>   10

between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

     (c) If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 7, a court shall hold
that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable
under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration,
scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the
stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise
the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area
permitted by law.

     (d) In the event of a breach or a threatened breach by any Executive of
any of the provisions of this Section 7, the Company, in addition and
supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, may apply to
any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance
and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations
of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

     9. Notices.  All notices, demands or other communications to be given or

     10 Miscellaneous.

     (a) Section 83(b) Election. Within thirty (30) days after the date hereof,
each  Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue
Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto.

     (b) Transfers in Violation of Agreement.  Any transfer or attempted
transfer of any Executive Stock in violation of any provision of this Agreement
shall be null and void, and the Company shall not record such transfer on its
books or treat any purported transferee of such Executive Stock as the owner of
such stock for any purpose.

     (c) Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

     (d) Complete Agreement.  This Agreement embodies the complete agreement
and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior
understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written
or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

     (e) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in separate
counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together constitute one and the same agreement.

     (f) Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Purchasers, the Company, BRS and their respective successors and assigns
(including subsequent holders of Executive Stock); provided, that the rights
and obligations of the Purchasers under this Agreement shall not be assignable
except in connection with a permitted transfer of Executive Stock hereunder.

     (G) GOVERNING LAW.  THE CORPORATE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL GOVERN
ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS
STOCKHOLDERS.  ALL OTHER QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO WILL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE
(WHETHER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.

     (h) Remedies.  Each of the parties to this Agreement (including BRS) will
be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover
damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) caused by any breach
of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in
its favor.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may 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 (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

     (i) Amendment and Waiver.  The provisions of this Agreement may be amended
and waived only with the prior written consent of the Company, the Purchasers
and BRS.

<PAGE>   3

      investment in the Purchaser Stock is suitable for such Purchaser, based
      upon such Purchaser's financial situation and needs, as well as such
      Purchaser's other securities holdings.

            (iv) such Purchaser:

                 (A) has not been convicted within the last five years of any
            felony or misdemeanor in connection with the offer, purchase, or
            sale of any security or any felony involving fraud or deceit,
            including, but not limited to, forgery, embezzlement, obtaining
            money under false pretenses, larceny, or conspiracy to defraud;

                 (B) is not currently subject to any state administrative
            enforcement order or judgment entered by a state securities
            administrator within the last five years or is subject to any
            state's administrative enforcement order or judgment in which fraud
            or deceit, including, but not limited to, making untrue statements
            of material facts and omitting to state material facts, was found
            and the order or judgment was entered within the last five years;

                 (C) is not subject to any state's administrative enforcement
            order or judgment which prohibits, denies or revokes the use of any
            exemption from registration in connection with the offer, purchase
            or sale of securities; or

                 (D) is not currently subject to any order, judgment or decree
            of any court of competent jurisdiction, entered within the last
            five years, temporarily or preliminarily restraining or enjoining
            such Purchaser from engaging in or continuing any conduct or
            practice in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or
            involving the making of any false filing with the state.

           (v) such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of such
      Purchaser's investment in the Purchaser Stock for an indefinite period of
      time and the Purchaser understands that the Purchaser Stock has not been
      registered under the Securities Act and cannot be sold unless
      subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
      such registration is available.

           (vi) such Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and
      receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of
      Purchaser Stock and has had full access to such other information
      concerning the Company as the Purchaser has requested.  The Purchaser has
      reviewed, or has had an opportunity to review, the following documents:
      (A) the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and (B) the Merger
      Agreement.

           (vii) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
      obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms
      (except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or
      by general equitable principles), and the execution, delivery and
      performance of this Agreement by such Purchaser does not and will not
      conflict with, violate or cause a breach

                                      -3-

<PAGE>   4

      of any agreement, contract or instrument to which such Purchaser is a
      party or any judgment, order or decree to which such Purchaser is
      subject.

     (c) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Purchaser Stock to such
Purchaser, and as a condition thereto, such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
that neither the issuance of the Purchaser Stock to the Purchaser (or to the
account of such Purchaser) nor any provision contained herein shall, in the
case of any Purchaser who is an officer or employee of the Company, entitle
such Purchaser to remain in the employment of the Company and its Subsidiaries
or affect the right of the Company to terminate such Purchaser's employment at
any time for any reason.

     (a) Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect

reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

     (b) Complete Agreement.  This Agreement embodies the complete agreement

understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written
or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together constitute one and the same agreement.

     (d) Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the

(WHETHER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.

     (f) Remedies.  Each of the parties to this Agreement will be entitled to
enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and
costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) caused by any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its
favor.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be
an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that

competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
