Furthermore, the Purchasers' shares are subject to "drag along" provisions if Samstock sells all of its shares provided, however, that prior to the first -------- ------- anniversary of the Co-Sale Agreement, Samstock cannot require the Purchasers to sell their shares pursuant to this provision if the contemplated transaction would result in an internal rate of return for the Purchasers on their initial investment of less than 25%. In addition, the Co-Sale Agreement provides that, as long as Samstock is entitled to designate one or two directors, each Purchaser agrees to vote all of the Voting Securities with respect to which the Purchaser has voting control in favor of the election of Samstock's designee or designees to the Issuer's board of directors. The Co-Sale Agreement further provides that, as long as MPII is entitled to designate one director in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Agreement, Samstock shall vote all Issuer's Voting Securities with respect to which Samstock has voting control in favor of the election of MPII's designee to the Issuer's board of directors.

This Warrant is immediately ---------------------------- exercisable. This Warrant shall expire at, and shall no longer be exercisable after, 5:00 p.m., Chicago local time, on April 28, 2005. (b) Method of Exercise. ------------------ (i) Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this ------------- Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, at any time, in whole, or from time to time, in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 duly executed) at the principal office of the --------- Company, and by the payment to the Company, by certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased. (ii) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant, the ------------------ Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock computed using the following formula: X = Y (A-B) ------- A Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder. Y = the number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock.

(c) Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights ------------------ represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant of identical terms and provisions as those hereof, representing the shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time. 2. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares issuable --------------------------------------- upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. 3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind ------------------------------------------------- of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows: (a) Reclassification. In case of any reclassification or change of ---------------- outstanding securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), the Company shall, as condition precedent to such transaction, execute a new Warrant providing that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each share of stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification or change by a holder of one share of stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. The provisions of this Section 3(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or changes. (b) Subdivision or Combination of Warrant Shares. If the Company at -------------------------------------------- any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination. (c) Stock Dividends.

Promptly upon the Minotaur Investors entering into any written agreement or - - arrangement with such person concerning a transaction covered by this Section 3.4 (including such aforementioned confidentiality and standstill agreement), the Minotaur Investors shall notify the Company's Board of Directors and provide the Company's Board of Directors with copies of the same; provided, however, -------- ------- that the mere sale of Company Voting Securities by any Minotaur Investor shall not constitute assisting, encouraging or inducing within the meaning of this Section 3.4. 3.5 Non-Circumvention. Except as the same may be approved by a majority ----------------- of the Disinterested Directors in a specific resolution to that effect adopted prior to the taking of such action, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, no Minotaur Investor shall take any action, alone or in concert with any other person to circumvent the limitations of the provisions of Article III of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without such approval no Minotaur Investor shall (i) present to the Company or to any third party any proposal that can reasonably be expected to result in any increase beyond the Maximum Permitted Voting Power of Company Voting Securities beneficially owned in the aggregate by the Minotaur Investors, (ii) publicly suggest or announce its willingness or desire to engage in a transaction or group of transactions that would result in any increase beyond the Maximum Permitted Voting Power of Company Voting Securities beneficially owned in the aggregate by the Minotaur Investors, or (iii) initiate, request, induce or attempt to induce or give encouragement to any other person to initiate any proposal that can reasonably be expected to result in any increase beyond the Maximum Permitted Voting Power of Company Voting Securities beneficially owned in the aggregate by the Minotaur Investors.

Lederer will be acceptable to the Company at the time of designation); provided, however, that at any time when -------- ------- the Investors shall no longer beneficially own at least 5% of the Combined Voting Power of all Company Voting Securities (as so calculated), MP II shall not have the right to designate any directors of the Company under this Section 4.4, MP II's rights under this Section 4.4 shall terminate, MP II shall cause its designee under this Section 4.4 to resign forthwith such that no designee of MP II under this Section 4.4 remains on the Board of Directors of the Company and all of the covenants under Article IV of this Agreement pertaining to MP II's designee under Section 4.4 shall lapse and no longer be of any force or effect.

As soon as practicable after the Effective ------------------------- Date, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement (which shall include pledgees of any selling stockholder under the caption "plan of distribution" contained in such Shelf Registration Statement) with respect to all Shares and Warrant Shares and use its reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective and keep such registration statement effective until such time as all Shares and Warrant Shares have been sold or disposed of thereunder or sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (other than pursuant to a pledge of such Registrable Securities) to a person that is not a Holder or, with respect to any Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has not been exercised prior to its expiration, until such time as the Warrant has expired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Investors a certificate stating that, in the good faith judgment of a majority of the Disinterested Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after the Effective Date.

Whenever the Company has filed ------------------------------------- a Shelf Registration Statement under this Article V, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Shelf 8 Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered thereby. (b) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement owned by them. (c) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such states or other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions where it is not so subject. (d) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and then use its best efforts to promptly correct such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.3, each Holder acknowledges that the Company shall have the right to suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of a Shelf Registration Statement if such offering would interfere with a pending corporate transaction or for other reasons until such time as an amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act.

All expenses incurred by or on behalf ------------------------------ of the Company in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 5.2, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and 9 accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company. In no event shall the Company be obligated to bear any underwriting discounts or commissions or brokerage fees or commissions relating to Registrable Securities or the fees and expenses of counsel to the selling Holders. 5.6 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included --------------- in a Shelf Registration Statement under this Article V: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and the affiliates of such Holder, and their respective directors, officers, general and limited partners, agents and representatives (and the directors, officers, affiliates and controlling persons thereof), and each other person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus (but only if such statement is not corrected in the final prospectus) contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (but only if such omission is not corrected in the final prospectus), or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company in connection with the registration of Registrable Securities under the Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, affiliate or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained -------- ------- in this Section 5.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder or controlling person. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities 10 (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained -------- ------- in this Section 5.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5.6(b) exceed - -------- the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5.6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5.6 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.6. The indemnified party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of any action referred to above through counsel of its own choosing and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assert any and all separate defenses, cross claims or counterclaims which it may have, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in advance by the indemnifying party, (ii) there is a conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the indemnifying party from adequately representing the interests of the indemnified party or there are defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from, or additional to, the defenses that are available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party does not employ counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time, or (iv) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense or does not reasonably contest such action in good faith, in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party that it elects to employ separate counsel, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party and the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party; provided, however, -------- ------- that, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to one firm acting as local counsel) for all indemnified parties. (d) The obligations of the Company and the holders under this Section 5.6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration Statement 11 under this Article V. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement (if any) entered into in connection with any underwritten public offering of the Registrable Securities are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall control. 5.7 Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to ------------------------------ the holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to: (a) use its best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (b) use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required under the Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, or as to whether it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information (and the Company shall take such action) as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form. 5.8 No Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company ------------------------------------ to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article V may only be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Registrable Securities if (i) such transferee or assignee is a Minotaur Contracting Party (as defined in Section 7.4 herein) and (ii) immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act. 5.9 Waiver Procedures. The observance by the Company of any provision of ----------------- this Article V may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, and any waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder of Registrable Securities. 5.10 "Market Stand-off" Agreement. Any Holder of Registrable Securities, ---------------------------- if requested by an underwriter of any registered public offering of Company securities being sold in a firm commitment underwriting, agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or other Company Voting Securities) held by such Holder other than shares of Registrable Securities included in the registration during the seven days prior to, and during a period of up to 180 days following, the effective date of the registration statement. Such agreement shall be in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such 12 underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the required stand-off period. 5.11 Listing of Shares. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable ----------------- efforts to cause (i) the Shares and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares, to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange as soon as practicable.

You further agree that the Evaluation Material will not be used for any other purpose, including use in any way which is to the competitive disadvantage or is otherwise detrimental to the Company, as determined in the sole judgment of the Company's management. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and your affiliates may disclose Evaluation Material to those of your employees, accountants, attorneys and bankers (collectively referred to as your "representatives"), who are actively involved in and have a need to know the same for the purpose of, assisting you and them in evaluating a potential transaction involving the Company.
