Agreement.
ARTICLE X
LIMITATIONS ON COMPETITION
Section 10.01. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. Each Stockholder identified on
Schedule 10.01 (each a "Restricted Stockholder"), and, in the case of paragraphs
(b) and (d) below of this Section 10.01, each Stockholder, severally agrees that
he will not during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the
third anniversary of the date hereof, directly or indirectly, for any reason,
for his own account or on behalf of or together with any other Person:
(a) engage as an officer, director or in any other managerial
capacity or as an owner, co-owner or other investor of or in, whether as
an employee, independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or as a sales
representative or distributor of any kind, in any business selling any
products or providing any services in competition with the Company, any
Company Subsidiary or TMI or any Subsidiary of TMI (TMI and its
Subsidiaries collectively being "TMI" for purposes of this Article X)
within any territory surrounding any sales office or distribution center
(each a "facility") in which any of the Company or the Company
Subsidiaries was engaged in business on the date hereof or immediately
prior to the Effective Time (for purposes of this Article X, the territory
surrounding a facility shall be: (i) the city, town or village in which
the facility is located, (ii) the county or parish in which the facility
is located, (iii) the counties or parishes contiguous to the county or
parish in which the facility is located, (iv) the area located within 100
miles of the facility and (v) the area in which the facility regularly
makes sales or provides services, all of such locations being herein
collectively called the "Territory");
(b) call on any natural person who is at that time employed by the
Company, any Company Subsidiary or TMI in any managerial capacity with the
purpose or intent of attracting that person from the employ of the
Company, any Company Subsidiary or TMI, provided that the Stockholder may
call on and hire any of his Immediate Family Members;
(c) call on any Person that at that time is, or at any time within
one year prior to that time was, a customer of the Company, any Company
Subsidiary or TMI within the Territory, (i) for the purpose of soliciting
or selling any product or service in competition with the Company, any
Company Subsidiary or TMI within the Territory and (ii) with the knowledge
of that customer relationship; or
12
(d) call on any TMI Acquisition Candidate, with the knowledge of
that Person's status as an TMI Acquisition Candidate, for the purpose of
acquiring that Person or arranging the acquisition of that Person by any
Person other than TMI.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Stockholder may own and hold as a
passive investment up to 6% of the outstanding Capital Stock of a competing
Entity if that class of Capital Stock is publicly traded.
Section 10.02. DAMAGES. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic
losses to TMI as a result of any breach by a Restricted Stockholder of his
covenants in Section 10.01, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage
that could be caused to TMI for which it would have no other adequate remedy,
each Restricted Stockholder agrees that TMI may enforce the provisions of
Section 10.01 by injunctions and restraining orders against that Restricted
Stockholder if he breaches any of those provisions.
Section 10.03. REASONABLE RESTRAINT. The parties hereto each agree that
Sections 10.01 and 10.02 impose a reasonable restraint on the Restricted
Stockholders in light of the activities and business of TMI on the date hereof,
the current business plans of TMI and the investment by each Restricted
Stockholder in TMI as a result of the Merger.
Section 10.04. SEVERABILITY; REFORMATION. The covenants in this Article X
are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant in
this Article X is not intended by any party hereto to, and shall not, affect the
provisions of any other covenant in this Article X. If any court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions
set forth in Section 10.01 are unreasonable as applied to any Restricted
Stockholder, the parties hereto, including that Restricted Stockholder,
acknowledge their mutual intention and agreement that those restrictions be
enforced to the fullest extent the court deems reasonable, and thereby shall be
reformed to that extent as applied to that Restricted Stockholder and any other
Restricted Stockholder similarly situated.
Section 10.05. INDEPENDENT COVENANT. All the covenants in this Article X
are intended by each party hereto to, and shall, be construed as an agreement
independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any
claim or cause of action of any Restricted Stockholder against TMI, whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement by TMI of any covenant in this Article X. It is specifically agreed
that the period specified in Section 10.01 shall be computed in the case of each
Restricted Stockholder by excluding from that computation any time during which
that Restricted Stockholder is in violation of any provision of Section 10.01.
The covenants contained in this Article X shall not be affected by any breach of
any other provision of this Agreement by any party hereto.
Section 10.06. MATERIALITY. The Company and each Stockholder, severally
and not jointly with any other Person, hereby agree that this Article X is a
material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 11.01. TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party hereto
will comply with each covenant for which provision is made in Section 11.01 of
the Uniform Provisions (the text of which Section hereby is incorporated herein
by this reference) to be performed or observed by that party.
Section 11.02. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF TMI COMMON STOCK.
(a) During the two-year period ending on the second anniversary of
the IPO Closing Date (the "Restricted Period") no Stockholder voluntarily
will, except pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) sell, assign, exchange,
transfer, encumber, pledge, distribute, appoint or otherwise dispose of
(A) any shares of TMI 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 TMI Common Stock, in whole or in part and TMI 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 TMI Common Stock or any interest
therein, the intent or effect of which is to reduce the risk of owning the
shares of TMI 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 TMI 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 and this
Section 11.02. The certificates evidencing the TMI 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 TMI 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 TWO-YEAR PERIOD
ENDING ON [DATE THAT IS THE SECOND 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
14
RESTRICTIVE LEGEND (AND ANY STOP ORDER PLACED WITH THE TRANSFER
AGENT) AFTER THE DATE SPECIFIED ABOVE.
(b) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly with any other
Person, (i) acknowledges that the shares of TMI Common Stock to be
delivered to that Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.04 (A) have not been
and, except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if applicable,
will not be registered under the Securities Act and therefore may not be
resold by that Stockholder without compliance with the Securities Act and
(B) will, as a result of their restrictions on transferability which are
imposed by this Agreement during the Restricted Period, have a value
materially less at the Effective Time than the value of then freely
tradeable shares of TMI Common Stock, and (ii) covenants that none of the
shares of TMI 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 TMI 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 AND MAY ONLY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
IF THE HOLDER HEREOF COMPLIES WITH THAT LAW AND OTHER APPLICABLE
SECURITIES LAWS.
In addition, certificates evidencing shares of TMI 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. The Stockholders jointly and severally
represent and warrant to TMI that the Company has not directly or indirectly
employed or become obligated to pay any broker 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 TMI 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 the Company.
Section 11.04. ASSIGNMENT; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement
and the rights of its parties 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 TMI, 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.
15

be waived, if, but only if, that amendment, modification, supplement or waiver
is in writing and signed by the Majority Stockholders, the Company and TMI. The
waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be
construed or interpreted as, or deemed to be, a waiver of any of its other term

Closing solely:
(i) by the mutual written consent of TMI and the Company;
(ii)by the Majority Stockholders or the Company, on the one
hand, or by TMI, on the other hand, if the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement to take place at the Closing shall not have been
consummated by January 31, 1998, unless the failure of such
transactions to be consummated results from the willful failure of

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

contained herein; or
(iv)by TMI if it is entitled to do so as provided in Section

hereto if the IPO is not consummated within 15 New York City

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.01,

no force or effect. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this
