of such share. The aggregate number of shares of Series B Common Stock that are
deemed to be entitled to remain outstanding shall be determined in accordance
with Section 2.03 below. The number of shares of Series B Common Stock that are
entitled to remain outstanding for each Stockholder who holds Series B Common
Stock immediately prior to the consummation of a Trigger Event shall be (a) the
total number of Series B Common Stock so held by such Stockholder multiplied by
(b) a fraction of which the numerator is the aggregate number
-3-
of shares of Series B Common Stock that are entitled to remain outstanding and
the denominator is 114,202.
Section 2.03. Determination of Number of Shares of Series B Common Stock
------------ ----------------------------------------------------------
that are Entitled to Remain Outstanding. The aggregate number of shares of

outstanding shall be 114,202.
(d) Intermediate Cases. If, at the time of a Trigger Event, the

outstanding shall be adjusted ratably between the amount specified in Subsection
(a) above and the amount specified in Subsection (b) above. If, at the time of
a Trigger Event, the Terminal Value is more than the Mid Case but less than the

targets the members of the Board approving such changes believe in good faith
that the new targets are broadly consistent with the valuation methodology
applied in determining the initial Terminal Value targets set forth on Exhibit

2.03 hereto. Prompt notice of any change in the
----

Terminal Value targets will be given by the Company to each record holder of
shares of Series B Common Stock.

at which shares of Common Stock are to be sold to the public in such
offering, determined immediately prior to such offering.
(ii) In the case of any other Trigger Event, Terminal Value
shall mean the aggregate net proceeds (including the fair market value of
any property) distributable in respect of all Common Stock and equivalents

ARTICLE V
TRANSFERS BY HERITAGE
Section 5.01. Co-Sale Rights. If Heritage determines to transfer,
------------ --------------
including without limitation any transfer pursuant to a merger, consolidation or
other business combination of the Company or any subsidiary with another person
or entity (except pursuant to a Public Offering), all or a portion of the Common
Stock held by it (any such transfer being referred to herein as a "Heritage
--------
Transfer Event"), Heritage shall give prior notice thereof (the "Transfer Event
-------------- --------------
Notice") to the other Qualified Stockholders, indicating the overall value of
------
the Company implied by the transfer, the Securities to be transferred and the
value of such Securities in the proposed transfer, which value will be
determined by taking the overall Company value stated in the notice and
allocating that value among the Company's outstanding Securities in accordance
with the liquidation provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
Each other Qualified Stockholder shall have the right, by giving notice
thereof to Heritage within 20 days after receipt of the Transfer Event Notice,
to include in such transfer the same proportion of its holdings of each class of
Securities as Heritage transfers of its holdings of Common Stock in such
-9-
transaction; provided, that each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
include all of such holder's shares of Preferred Stock in any such transfer that
constitutes a Trigger Event. Except as provided below, Heritage will not
transfer any Securities in a transaction covered by this Section 5.01 unless the
transferee also acquires any Securities requested by the other Qualified
Stockholders pursuant to the preceding sentence to be included in such transfer,
at the applicable values determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph
(except as provided in Section 5.04 below) and terms specified in the Transfer
Event Notice and in the same form of consideration received by Heritage, and as
to which the other Qualified Stockholders comply with the following paragraph.
In the event that more Securities are requested to be included in any transfer
under this Section 5.01 than the transferee is willing to purchase, the
Securities to be transferred by Heritage and the other Qualified Stockholders to
such transferee shall be reduced pro rata among Heritage and such other
Qualified Stockholders based on the number of Securities requested to be
included in such transfer (and subject to the prior rights of holders of
Preferred Stock to transfer their shares in a Trigger Event).
Heritage shall have 150 days after the close of the 20-day period specified
above to transfer the Securities described in the Transfer Event Notice at the
price (except as provided in Section 5.04 below) and on the terms specified
therein, together with any additional Securities to be included in such transfer
pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Any Qualified Stockholder whose Securities
are being transferred pursuant hereto, in order to be entitled to have such
Securities transferred, shall deliver on no less than five business days notice
from Heritage, at the time and place specified by Heritage, certificates
representing the Securities to be transferred, duly endorsed for transfer to the
transferee designated by Heritage, free and clear of all liens, restrictions,
claims and encumbrances, except as provided in this Agreement and under
applicable securities laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Section shall not apply to
transfers by Heritage to its partners which are required by its Agreement of
Limited Partnership, as amended, if such partners become parties to this
Agreement, and (b) no shares of Series B Common Stock may be included in any
transfer covered by this Section unless the transfer constitutes a Trigger
Event.
Section 5.02. Required Transfers. Each Stockholder agrees, at Heritage's
------------ ------------------
request and upon not less than 20 days prior notice from Heritage, to transfer
in any transaction constituting a Heritage Transfer Event which occurs on or
after the occurrence of a Trigger Event (other than any transfer to an Affiliate
of Heritage), at a price (except as provided in Section 5.04 below) and on terms
determined in the manner applicable to transfers
-10-
under Section 5.01, the same proportion of its holdings of each class of
Securities as Heritage transfers of its holdings of Common Stock in such
transaction, except that the holders of Preferred Stock may elect, if such
Heritage Transfer Event involves a Trigger Event, to transfer all shares of
Preferred Stock held by them in such transaction.
Upon receipt of notice from Heritage under this Section, each Stockholder
shall deliver, on not less than five business days notice from Heritage, at the
time and place specified by Heritage, certificates representing the Securities
to be transferred, duly endorsed for transfer to the transferee designated by
Heritage, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims and encumbrances,
except as provided in this Agreement and under applicable securities laws.
Section 5.03. Certain Obligations Relating to Transfer Events. The
------------ -----------------------------------------------
Stockholders will (a) cooperate with Heritage in all respects in the
consummation of any Heritage Transfer Event, (b) vote their Securities in favor
of any Heritage Transfer Event, if requested by Heritage, and (c) execute all
agreements, documents and instruments required by Heritage, which agreements,
documents and instruments will be substantially similar to those executed by
Heritage to consummate such Heritage Transfer Event, provided, however, that any
-------- -------
indemnification obligations of the Investors shall be several and not joint and
that such indemnification obligations shall be limited for each Investor to the
amount of proceeds received by such Investor in such Heritage Transfer Event.
Section 5.04. Treatment of Stock Equivalents. For purposes of Sections
------------ ------------------------------
5.01 and 5.02, Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to be the same class of Stock
as the Securities for which they are exercisable or into which they are
convertible, but the price payable for them in connection with a Heritage
Transfer Event shall be reduced by the exercise price thereof or other
consideration required to be paid to the Company to acquire the underlying
Stock.
ARTICLE VI
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Section 6.01. Recapitalization in Connection with Initial Public Offering.
------------ -----------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the
Certificate of Incorporation, in connection with an initial Public Offering of
the Company, the Company will recapitalize its Common Stock into a single class
of Common Stock effective immediately prior to such Public Offering, in
accordance with Section 6.02. In connection with any such recapitalization, the
Stockholders will
-11-
(a) cooperate with a Majority of Investors in all respects and enter into any
transaction reasonably required to effect such recapitalization, (b) vote their
Stock in favor of any such transaction reasonably required to consummate such
recapitalization, if requested by a Majority of Investors, and not exercise any
dissenter's rights or rights to seek an appraisal under Delaware law in
connection with such recapitalization effective upon the initial Public
Offering, and (c) execute all agreements, documents and instruments reasonably
required by a Majority of Investors, consistent with this Section 6.01, whereby
such Stockholders shall (i) undertake all actions reasonably necessary to
effectuate the recapitalization of its Common Stock into a single class of
Common Stock and (ii) agree not to sell, grant any option for the purchase of,
or otherwise dispose of any Securities (other than those included in such
registration) for such period as may be requested by the managing underwriter of
any public offering of the Company's Securities (not to exceed (A) 180 days
thereafter, in the case of the initial public offering of the Company's Common
Stock or (B) 90 days thereafter, in the case of any other registration).
Section 6.02. Determination of Number of Shares. Upon such
------------ ---------------------------------
recapitalization, each share of Common Stock (including, in the case of Series B
Common Stock, only shares that are entitled to remain outstanding in accordance
with Article II) will be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock
determined by dividing (a) the amount that would be distributed in respect of
such share upon a liquidation of the Company in accordance with the Certificate
of Incorporation, assuming an amount of cash available to distribute equal to
the aggregate value of all common equity and equivalents of the Company (but not
any preferred stock) immediately prior to such Public Offering, based on the
price per share at which shares of Common Stock are to be sold to the public in
such Public Offering (the "Per Share Offering Price"), by (ii) the Per Share
------------------------
Offering Price. In order to facilitate the Public Offering, the Board may
determine in good faith its estimate of the Per Share Offering Price in advance
of the Public Offering, and the parties agree that the foregoing adjustment may
be made on the basis of that estimate. Each share of Series B Common Stock not
entitled to remain outstanding in accordance with Article II will be canceled.
Section 6.03. Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the
------------ -----------
consummation of an initial Public Offering by the Company.
