Section 11.02. Restrictions on Transfer of RW Common Stock.
(a) Except for transfers to employees of the Company that are approved
in writing by the Board of Directors of RW (or a committee designated by the
Board of Directors of RW) prior to such transfer, during the one year period
ending on the first anniversary of the IPO Closing Date (the "Restricted
Period"), no Stockholder voluntarily will: (i) sell, assign, exchange, transfer,
encumber, pledge, distribute, appoint or otherwise dispose of (A) any shares of
RW Common Stock received by any Stockholder in the Merger or (B) any interest in
(including any option to buy or sell) any of those shares of RW Common Stock, in
whole or in part, and RW will have no obligation to, and shall not, treat any
such attempted transfer as effective for any purpose; or (ii) engage in any
transaction, whether or not with respect to any shares of RW Common Stock or any
interest therein, the intent or effect of which is to reduce the risk of owning
the shares of RW Common Stock acquired pursuant to Section 2.04 (including, for
example engaging in put, call, short-sale, straddle or similar market
transactions); provided, however, that this Section 11.02 shall not restrict any
transfer of RW Common Stock acquired by a Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.04
to any of that Stockholder's Related Persons who agree in writing to be bound by
the provisions of Section 11.01
-12-
16
and this Section 11.02. The certificates evidencing the RW Common Stock
delivered to each Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.05 will bear a legend
substantially in the form set forth below and containing such other information
as RW may deem necessary or appropriate:
"EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF
REORGANIZATION AMONG THE ISSUER, THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE OTHER
PARTIES THERETO, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE
VOLUNTARILY SOLD, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, PLEDGED,
DISTRIBUTED, APPOINTED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, AND THE ISSUER SHALL NOT BE
REQUIRED TO GIVE EFFECT TO ANY ATTEMPTED VOLUNTARY SALE, ASSIGNMENT, EXCHANGE,
TRANSFER, ENCUMBRANCE, PLEDGE, DISTRIBUTION, APPOINTMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF
ANY OF THOSE SHARES, DURING THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD ENDING ON __________ [DATE THAT
IS THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE IPO CLOSING DATE] (THE "RESTRICTED PERIOD"). ON
THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, THE ISSUER AGREES TO
REMOVE THIS RESTRICTIVE LEGEND (AND ANY STOP ORDER PLACED WITH THE TRANSFER
AGENT) AFTER THE DATE SPECIFIED ABOVE."
(b) From the first anniversary of the IPO Closing Date to the fourth
anniversary of the IPO Closing Date, the Stockholders agree to sell shares of RW
Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement only in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 11.02(b). Every quarter during such period,
every Stockholder will be permitted to sell, in the aggregate, up to 8% of the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock received by such Stockholder pursuant
to this Agreement (the "Quarterly Block Trade Shares") in either a block trade
or a registered public offering, at the option of RW. If a Stockholder does not
sell all of his or her Quarterly Block Trade Shares in any given quarter, such
Stockholder may sell such Quarterly Block Trade Shares pursuant to this Section
11.02(b) in any later quarter, provided, however, that in no event may a
Stockholder sell more than 20% of the shares of Common Stock received by such
Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement in any one quarter. Any Stockholder that
wishes to sell shares of RW Common Stock pursuant to such selling opportunity
must give notice to RW and the Executive Council no later than fourteen days
prior to the commencement of the fiscal quarter of RW during which such
Stockholder wants to sell such shares. Notwithstanding anything set forth in
this Section 11.02(b), RW may elect to make available to the Stockholders (i)
additional opportunities to sell shares of RW Common Stock and/or (ii) the
opportunity to sell an amount in excess of such amount during any particular
quarter. The Company may modify or waive this Section 11.02(b) at its sole
discretion at any time following written notice to the Stockholders, provided
that no such modification or waiver may reduce the number of selling
opportunities or the maximum number of shares of RW Common Stock that may be
sold by any Stockholder during any selling opportunity.
(c) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly with any other Person,
(i) acknowledges that the shares of RW Common Stock to be delivered to that
Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.04 have not been and will not be registered
under the Securities Act and therefore may not be resold by that Stockholder
without compliance with the Securities Act and (ii) covenants that none of the
-13-
17
shares of RW Common Stock issued to that Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.04
will be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, transferred or otherwise
disposed of except after full compliance with all the applicable provisions of
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and applicable state
securities laws and regulations. All certificates evidencing shares of RW Common
Stock issued pursuant to Section 2.04 will bear the following legend in addition
to the legend prescribed by Section 11.02(a):
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, HAVE
BEEN ISSUED PURSUANT TO ONE OR MORE EXEMPTIONS THERETO, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR DISPOSED OF UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
In addition, certificates evidencing shares of RW Common Stock issued pursuant
to Section 2.04 to each Stockholder will bear any legend required by the
securities or blue sky laws of the state in which that Stockholder resides.
Section 11.03. Brokers and Agents. Except for IPO Development Company,
each of the Stockholders jointly and severally, on the one hand, and RW, on the
other, represents and warrants to the other that such Person has not directly or
indirectly employed or become obligated to pay any broker, finder or similar
agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and agree, without
regard to the Threshold Amount limitations set forth in Article IX, to indemnify
the other against all Damage Claims arising out of claims for any and all fees
and commissions of brokers or similar agents employed or promised payment by
such Person.
Section 11.04. Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement
and the rights of the parties hereunder may not be assigned (except by operation
of law) and shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto,
the successors of RW, and the heirs and legal representatives of the
Stockholders (and, in the case of any trust, the successor trustees of that
trust). Neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document is intended,
or shall be construed, deemed or interpreted, to confer on any Person not a
party hereto or thereto any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder, except
as provided in Section 6.05(b) or 11.14, in Article IX or as otherwise provided
expressly herein or therein.
Section 11.05. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waivers. Except with
respect to Section 11.07 hereof, this Agreement and the documents delivered
pursuant hereto constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the
Stockholders, the Company, Newco and RW and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, and any
right hereunder may be waived, if, but only if, that amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver is in writing and
-14-
18
signed by each of the Stockholders, the Company and RW. The waiver of any of the
terms and conditions hereof shall not be construed or interpreted as, or deemed
to be, a waiver of any other term or condition hereof.
Section 11.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 11.07. Expenses. If the transactions contemplated hereby (i)
are consummated, RW will pay the fees, expenses and disbursements of RW and
Newco and their Representatives which are incurred in connection with the
subject matter of this Agreement and any amendments thereto, including all costs
and expenses incurred in the performance of and compliance with all conditions
to be performed by RW and Newco under this Agreement, including the costs of
preparing the Registration Statement, (collectively, the "RW Expenses") and (ii)
if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, the RW Expenses
shall be paid by the Founding Companies subject to the provisions of the IPO
Cost Liability Sharing Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated
herein by reference (b) the Stockholders will pay from personal funds, and not
from funds of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, all sales, use, transfer
and other similar taxes and fees (collectively, "Transfer Taxes") incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (c) the Company will
pay the fees, expenses and disbursements of Counsel for the Company and the
Stockholders incurred in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement
and the Registration Statement on or before the IPO Closing Date. The
Stockholders will file all necessary documentation and Returns with respect to
all Transfer Taxes. In addition, each Stockholder acknowledges that he, and not
the Company or RW or the Surviving Corporation, will pay all Taxes due upon
receipt of the consideration payable to that Stockholder pursuant to Article II.
Section 11.08. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to be delivered and received

facsimile or courier service, when actually received by the party to whom notice
is sent or

expressed herein, and if such a modification is not possible, that provision
shall be severed from this

Agreement, and in either case the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

by any term of this Agreement shall be deemed exclusive, but each shall be
cumulative with all other rights, remedies and elections available at law or in
equity.
Section 11.14. Respecting the IPO. Each of the Company and the
Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that: (a) no firm commitment, binding
agreement or promise or other assurance of any kind, whether express or implied,
oral or written, exists at the date hereof that the Registration Statement will

Representatives nor any prospective underwriters in the IPO will have any
liability to the Company, the Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates

prices or to occur at all; and (c) the decision of Stockholders to enter into

or other communications of, or due diligence investigations that have been or
will be made or performed by, any prospective underwriter relative to RW or the
IPO.

or by RW, on the other hand, if the events contemplated by this
Agreement to take place at the Delivery Date shall not have taken place
by September 4, 1998, unless the failure of such transactions to be
consummated results from the willful failure of the party (or in the

hereby to be performed or adhered to by it prior to or at the Delivery
Date or thereafter on the IPO Closing Date;

performance of any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained

(vi) by RW or the Stockholders prior to 9:00 a.m. on the

shares of common stock to be outstanding after the Closing of the IPO)
shall be less than $215 million;
(vii) by the Stockholders if the Registration Statement has

(i) by RW or the Company if the Underwriting Agreement is
terminated pursuant to its terms after the IPO Pricing Date and prior

Merger will be deemed for all purposes to have been abandoned and of no force or
effect.
