The Junior Management Investors and CS shall have the option to purchase certain of the Option-Eligible Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof. 5.1 Junior Management. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, the LLC has granted, and hereby acknowledges and reaffirms its grant to each Junior Management Investor of an irrevocable option (the "Junior Management Options") to purchase up to the aggregate number of Option-Eligible Shares set forth on Schedule 5.1 hereto (the "Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares") at a per share purchase price (the "Junior Management Purchase Price") of $5.83, upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event and upon the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1. 5.1.1 Notice. Not fewer than ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Liquidity Event, a notice (for the purposes of this Section 5.1.1, the "Liquidity Event Notice") shall be furnished by the Company to each holder of Option-Eligible Shares and to each Junior Management Investor. The Liquidity Event Notice shall include (i) the proposed date of consummation of the Liquidity Event, and (ii) the number of Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares that each Junior Management Investor is entitled to purchase. 5.1.2 Exercise. Each Junior Management Investor desiring to exercise its Junior Management Option shall send a written commitment within three (3) Business Days after the furnishing of the Liquidity Event Notice to the Company and to each holder of Option-Eligible Shares (for the purposes of this Section 5.1.2, the "Option-Eligible Share Sellers") specifying the number of Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares which such Junior Management Investor desires to purchase (each Junior Management Investor who so elects to exercise the Junior Management Option being referred to herein as an "Exercising Purchaser"). Each Junior Management Investor who has not so elected to exercise his or her Junior Management Option shall be deemed to have waived all of his or her rights with respect to such Junior Management Option, and his or her Junior Management Option shall terminate upon consummation of the Liquidity Event. In the event that an Exercising Purchaser elects to purchase less than the total number of J unior Management Option-Eligible Shares which are subject to his or her Junior Management Option, such Junior Management Investor shall be deemed to have waived all of his or her rights with respect to the remaining Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares, and his or her Junior Management Option shall terminate as to the remaining Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares upon consummation of the Liquidity Event. The exercise by each Exercising Purchaser shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Exercising Purchaser shall be bound and obligated to acquire such amount of Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares as such Exercising Purchaser shall have specified in such Exercising Purchaser's written commitment. If at the end of the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day following the date on which the Liquidity Event Notice was given the Liquidity Event has not been consummated, each Exercising Purchaser shall be released from his or her obligations under the written commitment, the Liquidity Event Notice shall be null and void, the Junior Management Options shall remain in full force and effect and it shall be necessary for a separate Liquidity Event Notice to have been furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate a Liquidity Event, unless the failure to consummate the Liquidity Event resulted from any failure by any Junior Management Investor to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Section 5.1. 5.1.3 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the participation by any Junior Management Investor as an Exercising Purchaser would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of any securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities, or (ii) the provision to any participant in the transaction of any information other than such information as would be required under Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar rule then in effect in an offering made pursuant to said Regulation D solely to "accredited investors" as defined in said Regulation D, the Option-Eligible Share Sellers shall be obligated only to use their reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Exercising Purchaser to receive such securities. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 5.1.3, if use of reasonable best efforts shall not have resulted in such requirements being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Exercising Purchaser to receive such securities, the Option-Eligible Share Sellers may exclude such Exercising Purchaser from participation in the transaction. The obligation of the Option-Eligible Share Sellers to use reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit an Exercising Purchaser to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Exercising Purchaser executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions (including, without limitation, if required by the Option-Eligible Share Sellers on advice of their counsel, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a "purchaser representative" (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that he was so represented), as the Option-Eligible Share Sellers shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with. Each Exercising Purchaser agrees to take such actions as the Option-Eligible Share Sellers shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with. 5.1.4 Payment and Delivery of Certificate. The closing of the purchase pursuant to the Junior Management Option (the "Junior Management Closing") shall occur contemporaneously with and subject to the consummation of the Liquidity Event. At the Junior Management Closing, (a) each Option-Eligible Share Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares to be sold by such Option-Eligible Share Seller, duly endorsed, or with stock powers or other appropriate instruments duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, with any stock transfer tax stamps affixed; and (b) each Exercising Purchaser shall deliver an amount equal to the Junior Management Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Junior Management Option-Eligible Shares to be purchased by such Exercising Purchaser through a wire transfer to the credit of an account designated by each Option-Eligible Share Seller to the Exercising Purchasers in writing not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the Junior Management Closing. 5.1.5 Certain Adjustments. In the event of any change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up or combination of shares of Common Stock, the number and kind of shares subject to the Junior Management Options, and the Junior Management Purchase Price, shall be appropriately adjusted. 5.1.6 Notice of Transfer. Upon any transfer of Option-Eligible Shares other than upon exercise of a Junior Management Option, the transferring holder shall provide to the Junior Management Investors and the Company a statement setting forth the number of Option-Eligible Shares transferred and the name and address of the transferee and a statement signed by the transferee acknowledging that the transferred Option-Eligible Shares shall continue to be subject to the Junior Management Options hereunder. 5.1.7 Termination. The Junior Management Options shall terminate on the earlier of (i) September 27, 2011, and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the Liquidity Event. 5.2 CS. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, the LLC has granted, and hereby acknowledges and reaffirms its grant, to CS of an irrevocable option (the "CS Option") to purchase 1,030,000 Option-Eligible Shares (the "CS Option-Eligible Shares") at a per share purchase price (the "CS Purchase Price") of $14.56, upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.2. 5.2.1 Notice. Not fewer than ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Liquidity Event, a notice (for the purposes of this Section 5.2.1, the "Liquidity Event Notice") shall be furnished by the Company to each holder of Option-Eligible Shares and to CS. The Liquidity Event Notice shall include (i) the proposed date of consummation of the Liquidity Event, and (ii) the purchase price per share of Common Stock payable to, and all other material terms and conditions of, such Liquidity Event. 5.2.2 Exercise. If CS desires to exercise the CS Option, it shall send a written commitment no more than five (5) Business Days after the furnishing of the Liquidity Event Notice to the Company and to each holder of Option-Eligible Shares (for the purposes of this Section 5.2.2, the "Option-Eligible Share Sellers") specifying the amount of CS Option-Eligible Shares which CS desires to purchase. If CS does not elect to exercise its CS Option, CS shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights with respect to the CS Option, and the CS Option shall terminate upon consummation of the Liquidity Event. If CS elects to purchase less than the total number of CS Option-Eligible Shares which are subject to the CS Option, CS shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights with respect to the remaining CS Option-Eligible Shares, and the CS Option shall terminate as to the remaining CS Option-Eligible Shares upon consummation of the Liquidity Event. The exercise by CS shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and CS shall be bound and obligated to acquire such amount of CS Option-Eligible Shares as it shall have specified in its written commitment. If at the end of the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day following the date on which the Liquidity Event Notice was given the Liquidity Event has not been consummated, CS shall be released from its obligations under the written commitment, the Liquidity Event Notice shall be null and void, the CS Option shall remain in full force and effect and it shall be necessary for a separate Liquidity Event Notice to have been furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5.2 separately complied with, in order to consummate a Liquidity Event, unless the failure to consummate the Liquidity Event resulted from any failure by CS to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Section 5.2. CS shall purchase the CS Option-Eligible Shares from the Option-Eligible Share Sellers pro rata, on the basis of the number of Option-Eligible Shares beneficially owned by each Option-Eligible Share Seller. 5.2.3 Payment and Delivery of Certificates. The closing of the purchase pursuant to the CS Option (the "CS Closing") shall occur contemporaneously with and subject to the consummation of the Liquidity Event. At the CS Closing, (a) each Option-Eligible Share Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the CS Option-Eligible Shares to be sold by such Option-Eligible Share Seller, duly endorsed, or with stock powers or other appropriate instruments duly endorsed, for transfer, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, with any stock transfer tax stamps affixed; and (b) CS shall deliver an amount equal to the CS Purchase Price multiplied by the number of CS Option-Eligible Shares to be purchased by CS through a wire transfer to the credit of an account designated by each Option-Eligible Share Seller to CS in writing not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the CS Closing. 5.2.4 Certain Adjustments. In the event of any change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up or combination of shares, the number and kind of shares subject to the CS Option, and the CS Purchase Price, shall be appropriately adjusted. 5.2.5 Termination. The CS Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the twelfth anniversary of the date hereof, and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the Liquidity Event. 5.2.6 Notice of Transfer. Upon any transfer of Option-Eligible Shares other than upon exercise of the CS Option, the transferring holder shall provide to CS and the Company a statement setting forth the number of Option-Eligible Shares transferred and the name and address of the transferee and a statement signed by the transferee acknowledging that the transferred Option-Eligible Shares shall continue to be subject to the CS Option hereunder. 6. "COME ALONG" RIGHTS. Each holder of Securities hereby agrees, if requested by Scott R. Watterson (provided that if Scott R. Watterson is incapacitated or dies, Gary E. Stevenson shall have the right to make such request in his stead), the CS Investors and/or Robert Gay (prior to a Gay Disability) (the "Initiating Sellers," as applicable), and approved by the Board, to Transfer for value (for purposes of this Section 6, a "Sale") a specified percentage (for purposes of this Section 6, the "Sale Percentage") of the Securities then owned by such holder to any Person (for purposes of this Section 6, the "Proposed Buyer") in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 6 in connection with the sale of the Sale Percentage of the total number of such Securities (on a fully diluted basis) held by all such Initiating Sellers, to the Proposed Buyer; provided, however, that no holder of Securities shall have any obligations under this Section 6 with respect to a particular Transfer if the Sale Percentage with respect to such transfer is less than ten percent (10%); provided, further, that any Transfer pursuant to this Section 6 shall comply with the provisions of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7; and provided, further, that any Transfer pursuant to this Section 6 which results in a Liquidity Event shall comply with this Section 6 and Section 4.3. 6.1 Procedure. If the Initiating Sellers elect to exercise their rights under this Section 6, a notice (the "Come Along Notice") shall be furnished by them to each holder of Securities. The Come Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to the Securities, including the number of Securities to be purchased from the Initiating Sellers, the Sale Percentage, the maximum and minimum purchase price, the name and address of the Proposed Buyer and (if the Proposed Buyer is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act) the name of each director of the Proposed Buyer and of each Person which is the beneficial owner of more than twenty percent (20%) of the common stock of the Proposed Buyer. If the Initiating Sellers consummate the Sale referred to in the Come Along Notice, each other holder of Securities (each a "Participating Seller") shall be bound and obligated to sell the Sale Percentage of the Securities in the Sale on the same terms and conditions (subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement and it being understood that, without limiting the foregoing, for such purposes the terms applicable to shares of Common Stock shall be identical in all respects), with respect to each Security sold in a Sale, as the Initiating Sellers shall sell each of their Securities in the Sale, and, in the case of Options, have the opportunity to either (i) exercise or convert such Options (if then exercisable or convertible) and participate in such sale as holders of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise or conversion, or (ii) upon the consummation of the Sale, receive in exchange for such Options (to the extent exercisable or convertible at the time of such Sale) consideration equal to the amount determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per share received by the holders of the shares of Common Stock of the same class of Common Stock for which the Option is exercisable or into which the Option is convertible in connection with the Sale less the exercise or conversion price per share of such Option by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock of such class represented by such Option. If at the end of the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the date of the effectiveness of the Come Along Notice the Initiating Sellers have not completed the Sale, each Participating Seller shall be released from his obligation under the Come Along Notice, the Come Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Come Along Notice to have been furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 6 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Sale pursuant to this Section 6, unless the failure to complete such Sale resulted from any failure by any Participating Seller to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Section 6. 6.2 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Securities in the proposed Sale pursuant to Section 6.1 includes any securities and the receipt thereof by any Investor as a Participating Seller would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities, or (ii) the provision to any participant in the Sale of any information other than such information as would be required under Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar rules then in effect in an offering made pursuant to said Regulation D solely to "accredited investors" as defined in said Regulation D, the Initiating Sellers shall be obligated only to use their reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 6, if use of reasonable best efforts shall not have resulted in such requirements being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities, the Initiating Sellers shall cause to be paid to the Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Securities (in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof) which would have otherwise been sold by such Participating Seller to the Proposed Buyer in the Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the securities each such Participating Seller would otherwise receive. The obligation of the Initiating Sellers to use reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Participating Seller to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Participating Seller executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions including without limitation, if required by the Initiating Sellers on advice of their counsel, agreeing to be r epresented during the course of such transaction by a "purchaser representative" (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that he was so represented, as the Initiating Sellers shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with. Each Participating Seller agrees to take such actions as the Initiating Sellers shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with, and no Participating Seller shall have the right to require that such Participating Seller receive cash in lieu of securities on the grounds that such requirements have not been complied with. 6.3 Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller, and each Investor to whom the Securities held by such Participating Seller were originally issued, shall, whether in his capacity as a Participating Seller, stockholder, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably requested in order expeditiously to consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 6.1; provided, however, that no Management Investor party to an employment agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be required hereunder to extend the term thereof. 6.4 Closing. The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 6.1 shall take place at such time and place as the Initiating Sellers shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller. At the closing of any Sale under this Section 6, each Participating Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Securities to be sold by such Participating Seller, duly endorsed, or with stock powers or other appropriate instruments duly endorsed, for transfer, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, with any stock transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration. 6.5 Fairness Opinions in Certain Circumstances. 6.5.1 Opinion. In the case of a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 6.1 to a Proposed Buyer which is an Affiliate of any Initiating Seller, any holder of Securities that is not an Initiating Seller may give notice (the date of such notice being the "Section 6.5 Request Date") to the Initiating Sellers of a request for a fairness opinion under this Section 6.5 within ten (10) calendar days after the earlier of the effectiveness of the Come Along Notice with respect thereto or such date as Initiating Sellers may provide a separate written notice of such Sale, then such Sale shall not be effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1 unless the Company or the Initiating Sellers shall furnish the holder or holders so requesting (with a copy thereof to any holder of Securities that may so request) a notice which includes a written opinion of an Independent Investment Banking Firm to the effect that the Sale is fair to the holders of the requesting type of Securities from a financial point of view (a "Section 6.5 Opinion"). In rendering such Section 6.5 Opinion, such Independent Investment Banking Firm shall consider (i) the form and amount of consideration to be received pursuant to such Sale in respect of Securities by holders thereof other than holders of the requesting type of Securities, (ii) the form and amount of consideration to be received pursuant to such Sale in respect of Securities by the holders of the requesting type of Securities, and (iii) other factors it may deem relevant. 6.5.2 Selection of Investment Banking Firm. The Independent Investment Banking Firm to provide the Section 6.5 Opinion shall be selected by the Board; provided, however, that the votes of the directors designated by the Initiating Seller shall not be taken into account when making such a selection. 6.6 Period. The foregoing provisions of Section 6 shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date of termination of this Agreement, and (ii) a Liquidity Event. 7. "CO-SALE" RIGHTS. 7.1 Tag Along. Upon approval by the Board of a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.1.2(v) and the approval by the Board of "tag along" rights (or similar rights) in connection therewith, no holder or holders of Securities (for purposes of this Section 7, collectively, the "Proposed Seller") shall Transfer (for purposes of this Section 7, a "Sale") any Securities to any other Person (for the purposes of this Section 7, the "Proposed Buyer"), other than to Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 4, including Section 4.7, except in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 7 and in compliance with Section 4, and attempted Transfers in violation of this Section 7 or Section 4 shall be null and void. 7.1.1 Offer. A written notice (the "Tag Along Notice") shall be furnished by the Proposed Seller to each other holder of Securities (the "Tag Along Offerees") at least ten (10) Business Days prior to a Transfer. The Tag Along Notice shall include: (a) The principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to the Securities, including the number of Securities to be purchased from the Proposed Seller, the percentage on a fully-diluted basis of the total number of Securities held by the Proposed Seller which such number of Securities constitutes (for purposes of this Section 7, the "Sale Percentage"), the maximum and minimum purchase price, the name and address of the Proposed Buyer, and (if the Proposed Buyer is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act) the name of each director of the Proposed Buyer and of each Person which is the beneficial owner of more than twenty percent (20%) of the common stock of the Proposed Buyer; and (b) An offer by the Proposed Seller to include, at the option of each Tag Along Offeree, in the Sale to the Proposed Buyer such number of Securities owned by such Tag Along Offeree up to the Sale Percentage of the total number of Securities held by such Tag Along Offeree), on the same terms and conditions (subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement), with respect to each Security sold in a Sale, as the Proposed Seller shall sell each of its Securities. 7.1.2 Exercise. Each Tag Along Offeree desiring to accept the offer contained in the Tag Along Notice shall send a written commitment to the Proposed Seller specifying the number of Securities (not in any event to exceed the Sale Percentage of the total number of Securities held by such Tag Along Offeree) which such Tag Along Offeree desires to have included in the Sale within ten (10) Business Days after the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice (each a "Participating Seller"). Each Tag Along Offeree who has not so accepted such offer shall be deemed to have waived all of his or her rights with respect to the applicable Sale, and the Proposed Seller and the Participating Sellers shall thereafter be free to sell to the Proposed Buyer, at a price no greater than the maximum price set forth in the Tag Along Notice and otherwise on terms not more favorable in any material respect to them than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Tag Along Offerees. If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed Sale shall change with the result that the price shall be greater than 105% of the maximum price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other terms shall be more favorable in any material respect than as set forth in the Tag Along Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to have been furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 7 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 7; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Tag Along Notice, the applicable period referred to in Section 7.1.1 and this Section 7.1.2 shall be five (5) Business Days. The acceptance of each Participating Seller shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Participating Seller shall be bound and obligated to sell in the Sale, on the same terms and conditions specified in the Tag Along Notice (subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement), such number of Securities as such Participating Seller shall have specified in such Participating Seller's written commitment, and, in the case of Options, have the opportunity to either (i) exercise or convert such Options (if then exercisable or convertible) and participate in such sale as holders of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise or conversion, or (ii) upon the consummation of the Sale, receive in exchange for such Options (to the extent exercisable or convertible at the time of such Sale) consideration equal to the amount determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock received by the holders of the same class of Common Stock for which the Option is exercisable or into which the Option is convertible in connection with the Sale less the exercise or conversion price per share of such Option by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock of such class represented by such Option. In the event the Proposed Seller shall be unable (otherwise than by reason of the circumstances described in Section 7.2) to obtain the inclusion in the Sale of all Securities which the Proposed Seller and each Participating Seller desires to have included in the Sale (as evidenced in the case of the Proposed Seller by the Tag Along Notice and in the case of each Participating Seller by such Participating Seller's written commitment), the number of Securities to be sold in the Sale by the Proposed Seller and each Participating Seller shall be reduced on a pro rata basis according to the proportion which the number of Securities which each such Person desires to have included in the Sale bears to the total number of Securities desired by all such Persons to have included in the Sale. If at the end of the one hundred eightieth (180th) calendar day following the date of the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice the Proposed Seller has not completed the Sale as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, each Participating Seller shall be released from his obligations under his written commitment, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to have been furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 7 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Sale pursuant to this Section 7, unless the failure to complete such Sale resulted from any failure by any Tag Along Offeree to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Section 7. 7.2 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Securities in the proposed Sale pursuant to Section 7.1 includes any securities and the receipt thereof by any Participating Seller would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities, or (ii) the provision to any participant in the Sale of any information other than such information as would be required under Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar rule then in effect in an offering made pursuant to said Regulation D solely to "accredited investors" as defined in said Regulation D, the Proposed Seller shall be obligated only to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 7, if use of reasonable best efforts shall not have resulted in such requirements being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities, the Proposed Seller shall cause to be paid to such Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Securities (in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof) which would have otherwise been sold in such Sale by such Participating Seller to the Proposed Buyer in the Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the securities which such Participating Seller would otherwise receive. The obligation of the Proposed Seller to use reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Participating Seller to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Participating Seller executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions (including without limitation, if required by the Proposed Seller on advice of its counsel, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a "purchaser representative" (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that he was so represented), as the Proposed Seller shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with. Each Participating Seller agrees to take such actions as the Proposed Seller shall reasonably request order to permit such requirements to have been complied with, and no Participating Seller shall have the right to require that such Participating Seller receive cash in lieu of securities on grounds that such requirements have not been complied with. 7.3 Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller, and each Investor to whom the Securities held by such Participating Seller were originally issued, shall, whether in his capacity as a Participating Seller, stockholder, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, take or cause to be taken all such actions (subject as to entering into agreements to the provisions of the next sentence hereof) as may be reasonably requested in order expeditiously to consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 7.1; provided however, that no Management Investor party to an employment agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be required hereunder to extend the term thereof. 7.4 Closing. The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 7.1 shall take place at such time and place as the Proposed Seller shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller. At the closing of any Sale under this Section 7, each Participating Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Securities to be sold by such Participating Seller, duly endorsed, or with stock powers or other appropriate instruments duly endorsed, for transfer, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, with any stock transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration. 7.5 Excluded Transactions. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 7 to the contrary and subject to the provisions of Section 8 below, the preceding provisions of this Section 7 shall not apply to any Sale pursuant to Section 6 or Section 8 of this Agreement; and no holder of Securities shall have pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 any right of participation or otherwise with respect to any Transfer of Securities to Permitted Transferees or in a Public Offering or under Rule 144; provided that such Permitted Transferee has delivered to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that all such Securities to be received by such recipient are subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement and that such recipient is bound hereby and a party hereto to the same extent as the holder thereof, as the case may be. 7.6 Period. The foregoing provisions of Section 7 shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date of termination of this Agreement or (ii) a Liquidity Event. 8. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company will perform and comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to perform and comply, with such of following provisions as are applicable to it. Each holder of Securities or Non-CS Warrant Securities will perform and comply with such of the following provisions as are applicable to such holder. 8.1 Piggyback Registration Rights. 8.1.1 Election. Whenever the Company proposes to register (other than a registration pursuant to Section 8.3.3) on form S-1, S-2 or S-3 (or any successor form) any shares of Common Stock for its own or others' account under the Securities Act for a public offering (each a "Public Offering"), the Company shall furnish each holder of Registrable Securities prompt notice of its intent to do so. Upon the request of any such holder given by notice to the Company within twenty (20) calendar days after the effectiveness of such notice from the Company, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be included in such registration all of the Registrable Securities which such holder requests. 8.1.2 Further Assurances. Holders of Registrable Securities participating in any Public Offering shall take all such actions and execute all such documents and instruments that are reasonably requested by the Company to effect the sale of their Registrable Securities in such Public Offering, including without limitation being parties to the underwriting agreement entered into by the Company and any other selling shareholders in connection therewith and being liable in respect of any representations and warranties being made by each selling shareholder and any indemnification agreements and "lock-up" agreements made by each selling shareholder for the benefit of the underwriters in such underwriting agreement; provided, however, that (i) no Management Investor party to an employment agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be required hereunder to extend the term thereof; and (ii) except with respect to individual representations and warranties regarding such matters as legal capacity or due organization of such participating holder, authority to participate in the Public Offering, compliance by such selling shareholder with laws and agreements applicable to it, ownership (free and clear of liens, charges, encumbrances and adverse claims) of Registrable Securities to be sold by such selling shareholder and accuracy of information with respect to such selling shareholder furnished for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to each Public Offering ("Individual Underwriting Agreement Representations"), the aggregate amount of the liabilities of such participating holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to such underwriting agreement shall not exceed the lesser of (a) such participating holder's pro rata portion of any such liability, in accordance with such participating holder's portion of the total number of Registrable Securities included in the Public Offering, and (b) the net proceeds received by such participating holder from the Public Offering. If any Management Investor holding Registrable Securities shall request participation in any Public Offering pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to induce the managing underwriter of the securities being offered to permit such Management Investor to make no representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement other than Individual Underwriting Agreement Representations, but to be liable as indemnitors with respect to any other representations or warranties made by other selling holders in such underwriting agreement, but in the event the managing underwriter shall not accede to such request, such Management Investor shall, within five (5) calendar days of notice to that effect from the managing underwriter or its counsel, either elect to make such other representations and warranties in the underwriting agreement as shall be made by other participating holders or to withdraw from participation. 8.1.3 Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities participating in any Public Offering pursuant to this Section 8.1, other than (i) underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by such holder, (ii) applicable transfer taxes, if any, and (iii) fees and charges of any attorneys or other advisors (other than attorneys and advisors retained by the Company to advise it in connection with such Public Offering and one counsel retained to advise all holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Public Offering) retained by any such holders. 8.1.4 Excluded Transactions. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 8.1, no holder of Registrable Shares shall have any right of participation or otherwise with respect to the following Public Offerings: (a) Any Public Offering relating solely to employee benefit plans, or (b) Any Public Offering the proceeds of which are used principally to finance the acquisition after the date hereof by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any acquired businesses or any Public Offering constituting an exchange of securities for securities of any such acquired businesses. 8.2 Demand Registration Rights. 8.2.1 Registration on Request of Holders of Certain Securities. 8.2.1.1 Demand.

No holder of Registrable Securities shall present any request for registration pursuant to this Section 8.2.1 at any time within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the furnishing by the Company of any notice of proposed registration under Section 8.1 (unless abandoned by notice from the Company) or the consummation of any other Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company. Promptly after receipt of any notice requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8.2.1, the Company will give notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities. The Company will then use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by the holders requesting registration pursuant to this Section 8.2.1, and, subject to all of the provisions of this Section 8, all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 8.1.1 by notice delivered to the Company within twenty (20) calendar days after the giving of such notice by the Company (which request shall specify the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities), all to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register. 8.2.2 Form. Each registration requested pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any other form which includes substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement on such form as currently constituted), unless the use of a different form has been agreed to in writing by holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders (the "Majority Initiating Holders"). 8.2.3 Registrations Pursuant to Section 8.2. In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 8.2, whenever the Majority Initiating Holders shall request that such registration shall be effected pursuant to an underwritten offering, such registration shall be so effected, and all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration shall be included in such underwritten offering, subject to the cutback provisions of Section 8.3.1. If requested by such underwriters, the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, customary indemnity and contribution provisions. 8.2.4 Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities participating in any Public Offering pursuant to this Section 8.2, other than (i) underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, (ii) applicable transfer taxes, if any, and (iii) fees and charges of any attorneys or other advisors (other than attorneys and advisors retained by the Company to advise it in connection with such Public Offering and one counsel retained to advise all holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Public Offering) retained by any such holders. 8.3 Certain Other Provisions. 8.3.1 Cutbacks. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, if the Company is advised in good faith by any managing underwriter of securities being offered pursuant to any Public Offering under this Section 8 that the number of shares requested to be sold in such Public Offering is greater than the number of such shares which can be included in such Public Offering without materially adversely affecting such Public Offering, the shares to be included in such offering shall be reduced to the extent requested by such managing underwriter as provided in this Section 8.3.1: 8.3.1.1 Company Registration or IPO. Upon registration of securities initiated by the Company as contemplated by Section 8.1.1 or in the case of an Initial Public Offering, shares to be included in such offering shall be reduced in the following order and fashion: (i) first, securities requested to be included by Persons other than the Company and holders of Registrable Securities shall be reduced pro rata (based on the number of shares requested to be included by such Persons); (ii) second, Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Public Offering shall be reduced pro rata (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the holders thereof); and (iii) third, securities proposed to be included by the Company shall be reduced. 8.3.1.2 Demand Registration Rights. Upon the exercise of demand registration rights by the Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 8.2, shares to be included in such offering shall be reduced in the following order and fashion: (i) first, securities requested to be included by Persons other than the Company and holders of Registrable Securities shall be reduced pro rata (based on the number of shares requested to be included by such Persons); (ii) second, securities requested to be included in the Public Offering by the Company shall be reduced; and (iii) third, Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Public Offering shall be reduced pro rata (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the holders thereof). 8.3.2 Resale Shelf Registration for Non-CS Warrant Securities. In addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to Section 8.1 and 8.2 above, upon the request of the Non-CS Majority Warrantholders, the Company will at its own expense, not later than three hundred and ninety five (395) calendar days after the effectiveness of the first underwritten Public Offering, file, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to become and remain effective, a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Registrable Securities included in the Non-CS Warrant Securities until such time as may be consented to by the Non-CS Majority Warrantholders; provided, however, that (i) the rights provided by this Section 8.3.2 shall expire on such date, if any, as all Non-CS Warrant Securities are freely tradeable under clause (k) of Rule 144 and no holder of Non-CS Warrant Securities holds more than one percent (1%) of all outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the Company shall not be requir ed to file any registration statement pursuant to this Section 8.3.2 at any time within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after either the furnishing by the Company of any notice of proposed registration under Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof (unless abandoned by notice from the Company or the Majority Initiating Holders, as applicable) or the consummation of any other Public Offering. 8.3.3 Selection of Managing Underwriters. In the case of any registration proposed by the Company for the Public Offering of securities for its own account, the managing underwriters, if any, with respect thereto shall be selected by the Company. In the case of any registration pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein hereunder shall select the managing underwriters, if any, with respect thereto. 8.3.4 Selection of Counsel. Counsel to the Company in connection with any Public Offering shall be selected by the Company, and counsel to the selling holders of Registrable Securities shall be selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested pursuant to the provisions hereof to be included therein. 8.4 Indemnification and Contribution. 8.4.1 Indemnities of the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities or other debt or equity securities under the Securities Act, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company and any of its subsidiaries pursuant to which securities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries are sold (whether or not for the account of the Company) or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company and any of its subsidiaries, including without limitation reports required or other documents filed under the Exchange Act, the Company will, and hereby does, and will cause its subsidiaries, jointly and severally to, indemnify and hold harmless each seller of Registrable Securities, any other holder of Securities or Non-CS Warrant Securities who is or might be deemed to be a controlling Person of the Company and any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Sectio n 20 of the Exchange Act, their respective direct and indirect partners, advisory board members, directors, officers and shareholders, and each other Person, if any, who controls any such seller or any such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being referred to herein as a "Covered Person"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of any jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary or free writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document or other document or report, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company and any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and to any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be liable to any Covered Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, a ction or proceeding arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary or free writing prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or to any of its subsidiaries through an instrument duly executed by such Covered Person specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. The indemnities of the Company and of its subsidiaries contained in this Section 8.4.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of securities. 8.4.2 Indemnities to the Company. Each seller of Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 8, agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any of its subsidiaries, each director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, each officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who shall sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company and any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus or other document incorporated therein, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or to any of its subsidiaries through an instrument executed by such seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, or incorporated document. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of securities. 8.4.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 8.4.1 or 8.4.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been an indemnified party under any such Section in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.4.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8.4.3 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 8.4.4 Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each holder of Registrable Securities in respect of all indemnification and contribution obligations of such holder arising under this Section 8.4 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such holder (after deduction of all underwriters' discounts and commissions and all other expenses paid by such holder in connection with the registration in question) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such holder pursuant to such registration. 8.5 Lock-up. Without the prior written consent of the Company, for a period beginning ten calendar days immediately preceding and ending on the one hundred eightieth (180th) calendar day (in the case of the Initial Public Offering, or ninetieth (90th) calendar day in the case of any other offering, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter shall agree) following the effective date of the registration statement used in connection with any offering of shares of Common Stock by the Company, no holder of Securities (whether or not a selling shareholder pursuant to such registration statement) shall (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise Transfer, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Common Stock or (b) enter into any swap or other management that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of such Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) Transfers among any Affiliates, provided that the Transferee Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 8.5, (iii) Transfers to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in one or more transactions approved by the Board, or (iv) Transfers constituting the exercise of the Junior Management Options or the CS Option in accordance with the provisions of Section 5. 9. [RESERVED]. 10. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE. The term "Fair Market Value" shall mean, the fair value of the applicable Security or other securities as of the applicable date on the basis of a sale of such Security or securities in an arms length private sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither acting under compulsion (or, in the case of an Option, the fair value of the shares of Common Stock that may then be purchased or received by the holder of such Option upon exercise or conversion thereof, determined as described in this Section 10, minus the exercise or conversion price applicable thereto). In determining such Fair Market Value, no discount shall be taken for constituting a minority interest and no upward adjustment or discount shall be taken relating to the fact that the Securities in question are subject to the restrictions and entitled to the rights provided hereunder. For purposes of Sections 6 or 7 of this Agreement, such Fair Market Value shall be determined: (i) in the case of any Securities or other securities to be valued representing less than ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, in good faith by the Board, and (ii) in the case of any Securities or other securities to be valued representing more than ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, absent any agreement between the Company and the holders of a majority of the Securities in question regarding such valuation, by an Independent Investment Banking Firm retained by the Company (the fees and expenses of which shall be shared in one-half shares by the Company, on the one hand, and the holders of Securities subject to such Fair Market Value determination, on the other hand) selected as follows: the Board shall propose three (3) Independent Investment Banking Firms, and the Independent Investment Banking Firm to perform the calculation shall be selected from such list of three by the holders of a majority of the Securities subject to such Fair Market Value determination. 11. REMEDIES. 11.1 Generally. The Company and all holders of Securities and Non-CS Warrant Securities shall have all remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise in the event of any breach or violation of this Agreement or any default hereunder by the Company, any holder of Securities or any holder of Non-CS Warrant Securities. The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies which may be available, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of the other parties hereto and, in addition, to such other equitable remedies (including, without limitation, preliminary or temporary relief) as may be appropriate in the circumstances. 11.2 Deposit. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.1, if any Investor (a "Non-Complying Investor") fails to deliver any certificate or certificates evidencing Securities that may be required to be sold pursuant to any provision of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company or other Person entitled to purchase or require the sale of such securities may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, deposit the purchase price for such Securities with any national bank or trust company having combined capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) and which has agreed to act as escrow agent in the manner contemplated by this Section 11.2 and shall furnish or make available to all interested Persons satisfactory evidence of such deposit and thereupon the Company shall cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing such Securities and, in the case of any such purchase of Securities by a Person other than the Company issue, in lieu thereof and in the name of such Person, a new certificate or certificates representing such Securities and thereupon all of the Non-Complying Investor's rights in and to such Securities shall terminate. Thereafter, upon delivery to the Company by such Non-Complying Investor of the certificate or certificates evidencing such Securities (duly endorsed, or with stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer duly endorsed, for transfer, with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and with any stock transfer tax stamps affixed), the Company shall instruct the escrow agent referred to above to deliver the purchase price (without any interest from the date of the closing to the date of such delivery, any such interest to accrue to the Person who deposited the purchase price for such Securities) to such Non-Complying Investor. 12. LEGENDS. 12.1 Securities Act Legend. Each certificate representing Securities or Non-CS Warrant Securities shall have the following legend endorsed conspicuously thereupon: "The securities represented by this certificate were issued in a private placement, without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration under the Act covering the transfer or an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the issuer, that registration under the Act is not required."

The Members of the Company shall be listed on Schedule I hereto, as from time to time amended and supplemented in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Members' Interests in the Company shall be represented by two (2) separate classes (each a "Class") of units ("Units"). The Interests of each of SW, GS, Watterson and Stevenson set forth on Schedule I shall be represented by "Class A Units." All other Interests in the Company shall be represented by "Class B Units." Each Unit issued and outstanding as of the date hereof shall represent an original Capital Contribution of one hundred dollars ($100). The holders of Class A Units and Class B Units shall have the voting rights specified in this Agreement. From and after the making by the Members of Capital Contributions to fund an investment other than the investment in HF Holdings that has been made as of September 27, 1999, the Units of the Company shall be segregated not only by Class, but also by investment so that the Units issued in respect of an investment shall represent only an interest in that investment (and the Short-Term Investments, if any, related thereto). The holders of Class A Units and Class B Units issued in respect of a particular investment shall be entitled to receive the Distributions and allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss (and other items treated as Net Profit and Net Loss pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5) in respect of such investment as are specified in Article 5. For the sake of clarity, the Units issued in respect of the investment in HF Holdings shall be designated the "HF Class A Units" and the "HF Class B Units", and collectively as the "HF Units." 3.2 Capital Contributions. Each Member has contributed to the Company (or has purchased interests from Inverness or the Bain Entities which respectively contributed) the amount set forth opposite such Member's name on Schedule I, as in effect as of the date hereof, under the heading "Capital Contributions" and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Interests Purchase Agreement shall own the number of HF Class A Units and/or HF Class B Units, as the case may be, set forth on Schedule I (the CS Warrant (defined below) shall be treated as set forth in Section 3.7 hereof.) The Company, with the approval of the Board, may issue Class A Units and/or Class B Units to such Persons in exchange for such additional Capital Contributions as they determine to be appropriate. Promptly following the issuance of additional Units, the Administrative Members shall amend Schedule I so that it sets forth, effective as of the date of the amendment, opposite each Member's name, under the heading "Capital Contributions", the total amount of Capital Contributions made by such Member to the Company, or purchased by such Member, on and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Interests Purchase Agreement, and under the headings "Class A Units" and "Class B Units" the number of Class A Units or Class B Units, respectively, held by such Member and the investments in respect of which such Units were issued. Effective immediately upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Interests Purchase Agreement, (i) the Class B Units owned by the Bain Entities and purchased by SW and/or GS will convert into Class A Units, and (ii) any and all Class C Units owned by any Member, whether purchased pursuant to the Interests Purchase Agreement or otherwise, will convert into Class B Units. 3.3 Capital Accounts. A separate account (each a "Capital Account") shall be established and maintained for each Member which shall be increased by (a) the amount of cash and the fair market value (as agreed upon by such Member and the Board at the time of contribution) of any other property contributed by such Member to the Company as a Capital Contribution (net of liabilities secured by such property or that the Company assumes or takes the property subject to) after the date hereof, (b) such Member's share of the Net Profit of the Company after the date hereof, and (c) amounts required to be credited to the Members' Capital Accounts in the same manner as Net Profit pursuant to Section 3.4 or 3.5, and shall be reduced by (d) the amount of cash and the fair market value (as agreed upon by such Member and the Board at the time of distribution) of any other property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such property or that the Member assumes or takes the property subject to) after the date hereof, (e) such Member's share of the Net Loss of the Company after the date hereof and (f) amounts required to be credited to the Members' Capital Accounts in the same manner as Net Loss pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 3.5. From and after the making by any Members of Capital Contributions to fund an investment other than the investment in HF Holdings, one or more "Sub-Capital Accounts" shall be created for each such Member, and each separate Sub-Capital Account shall be maintained in the manner provided in the immediately preceding sentence for each investment (and the Short-Term Investments, if any, related thereto) in which the Member has an interest. 3.4 Revaluations of Assets and Capital Account Adjustments. Immediately preceding the issuance of additional Class A Units or Class B Units to a new or existing Member in exchange for cash or other contributions (other than in connection with the exercise of any CS Warrant (as defined below)), or upon the redemption of the Interest of a Member, the then prevailing Asset Values of the Company shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined in good faith by the Board, and any increase in the net equity value of the Company (Asset Values less liabilities) shall be credited to the Capital Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members in the same manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.5.2 hereof (or any decrease in the net equity value of the Company shall be charged in the same manner as Net Losses are charged under Section 5.5.3). Accordingly, as of the date of issuance of additional Units or the redemption of all or a portion of a Member's Interest in the Company, the Capital Accounts (and the Sub-Capital Accounts) of Members will reflect both realized and unrealized gains and losses through such date and the net fair market value of the equity of the Company as of such date. 3.5 Additional Capital Account Adjustments. Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax shall be credited to the Capital Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members in the same manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.5.2 when such income is realized. Any expenses or expenditures of the Company which may neither be deducted nor capitalized for tax purposes (or are so treated for tax purposes) shall be charged to the Capital Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members, in the same manner as Net Losses are charged under Section 5.5.3. If the Company makes an election under Section 754 of the Code to provide a special basis adjustment upon the transfer of an Interest in the Company or the distribution of property by the Company, Capital Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) shall be adjusted to the limited extent required by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704 following such transfer or distribution. 3.6 Additional Capital Account Provisions. 3.6.1 No Member shall have the right to demand a return of all or any part of its Capital Contributions. Any return of the Capital Contributions of any member shall be made solely from the assets of the Company and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No interest shall be paid to any Member with respect to its Capital Contributions or Capital Account (or any Sub-Capital Account). 3.6.2 In the event that all or a portion of the Units of a Member are transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee of such Units shall also succeed to all or the relevant portion of the Capital Account (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the transferor. Units held by a Member may not be transferred independently of the interest in the capital of the Company to which the Units relate. 3.6.3 No Member shall have any obligation to repay any deficit balance in its Capital Account (or in any Sub-Capital Account). 3.7 Options, Warrants, Etc. The Company, with the approval of the Board, may issue options, warrants and other rights or interests in respect of the equity of the Company (each a "Right") to such persons, in exchange for such amounts of cash or other property, and having such terms, as the Board determines to be appropriate. The issuance as of September 27, 1999 to CS, of a warrant for the purchase of fifty thousand (50,000) Class C Units having terms substantially identical to those set forth in the HF Class C Purchase Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 2(A) (such warrant and any warrant issued to reflect a partial exercise or a transfer of a portion of such warrant, a "CS Warrant") has been previously approved and the CS Warrant is a valid and binding obligation of the Company. As of the date hereof, the CS Warrant shall be amended to constitute a warrant for the purchase of fifty thousand (50,000) Class B Units having terms substantially identical to those set forth in the Units Purchase Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 2(B). Upon the issuance of any Right, the Administrative Members shall set forth on Schedule I the name of the holder of such Right and the terms of such Right. Upon the exercise of any CS Warrant, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution equal to the sum of (i) the exercise price paid in connection with such exercise and (ii) the product of (A) five million dollars ($5,000,000) and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of HF Units received upon such exercise and the denominator of which is the sum of (I) the aggregate number of HF Units for which all unexercised CS Warrants are exercisable and (II) the aggregate number of outstanding HF Units issued in connection with the exercise of any CS Warrants (for purposes of this clause II, adjusted to reflect any post-exercise distributions of additional HF Units in respect of HF Units, reclassifications by subdivision of outstanding HF Units, or reclassifications by combination of outstanding HF Units into a smaller number of HF Units). Such Capital Contribution shall be set forth on Schedule I. 3.8 [Reserved]. Article 4 STATUS AND RIGHTS OF MEMBERS 4.1 Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member nor any other Indemnified Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company. All Persons dealing with the Company shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the payment of debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company. 4.2 Return of Distributions of Capital. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, a Member, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability either to the Company or any of the Company's creditors. Except as required by law or a court of competent jurisdiction, no member or investor in or partner of a Member shall be obligated by this Agreement to return any Distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any Distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to return or pay any part of any Distribution, the obligation shall be that of such Member alone, and not of any other Member unless the court so provides. The amount of any Distribution returned to the Company by or on behalf of a Member or paid by or on behalf of a Member for the account of the Company or to a creditor of the Company shall be added to the account or accounts from which it was subtracted when it was distributed to the Member. Article 5 DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS 5.1 Distributions. The Administrative Members shall cause the Company to make Distributions to the Members and the holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) in accordance with this Section 5.1. 5.1.1 Definitions. "Available Cash" shall mean (a) cash received in respect of the Company's investment in HF Holdings and (b) cash received in respect of all Short-Term Investments (i) made with funds pending their investment in HF Holdings or (ii) made with funds received from HF Holdings pending the allocation of such funds pursuant to Section 5.1.2, in each case net of expenses of the Company authorized by this Agreement. "Free Shares" shall mean shares of HF Holdings common stock that have never been subject to a Junior Management Option or the CS Option. "Option Shares" shall mean shares of HF Holdings common stock that are subject to a Junior Management Option or to the CS Option. "Released Shares" shall mean shares of HF Holdings common stock that were subject to a Junior Management Option which has lapsed or that were subject to the CS Option which has lapsed. 5.1.2 Allocations of Available Cash. Available Cash shall be allocated among the Members and the holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) as follows: (a) Allocations of Available Cash Attributable to Option Shares or Released Shares. Available Cash received by the Company (i) as a result of the exercise, in whole or in part, of any Junior Management Option or the CS Option, (ii) as a result of the sale or other disposition of Released Shares, or (iii) otherwise in respect of Option Shares or Released Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto), shall be allocated among all Members and holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) in proportion to the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class) held by the Members and the holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) (treating, solely for this purpose, each holder of a CS Warrant as holding at the time of any allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1.2(a) a number of HF Units equal to the aggregate number of HF Units for which all CS Warrants then held by such holder may be exercised). Presumption 1 -- Identifying Shares Subject to Disposition. In the event that a Junior Management Option or the CS Option lapses, any sale or other disposition of HF Holdings common stock by the Company thereafter (other than pursuant to the exercise of a Junior Management Option or the CS Option) shall be treated in part as a sale of Released Shares and in part as a sale of Free Shares, (i) with the percentage of shares sold that are deemed to be Released Shares equal to the product of (A) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Released Shares held by the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition and (II) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of shares of HF Holdings common stock held by the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition that are either Free Shares or Released Shares, and (B) 100; and (ii) with the percentage of shares sold that are deemed to be Free Shares equal to (C) 100 minus (D) the percentage of shares sold that are deemed to be Released Shares, as calculated in the immediately preceding clause (i). Presumption 2 -- Identifying Shares in Respect of Which Dividend is Paid. In the event that the Company receives a dividend or other distribution (other than a distribution treated as proceeds from an exchange of HF Holdings Common Stock pursuant to Section 302(a) of the Code) in respect of shares of HF Holdings common stock, such distribution shall be treated in part as a distribution in respect of Option Shares and Released Shares and in part as a distribution in respect of Free Shares, (i) with the percentage of such distribution that is deemed attributable to Free Shares equal to the product of (A) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Free Shares then held by the Company and (II) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of shares of HF Holdings common stock then held by the Company, and (B) 100, and (ii) the percentage of such distribution that is deemed attributable to Option Shares and Released Shares equal to (C) 100 minus (D) the percentage of such distribution that is deemed attributable to Free Shares, as calculated in the immediately preceding clause (i). (b) Allocations of Available Cash Attributable to Free Shares. All Available Cash received by the Company in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) shall be allocated as follows:(i) First, Available Cash in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) shall be allocated among all Members and holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s), in proportion to the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class) held by the Members and the holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) (treating, solely for this purpose, each holder of a CS Warrant as holding at the time of any allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1.2(b) a number of HF Units equal to the aggregate number of HF Units for which all CS Warrants then held by such holder may be exercised), until each Member has been allocated an amount of Available Cash equal to its Unreturned Investment;(ii) Thereafter, (A) an amount of Available Cash in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) equal to (I) the Available Cash in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) remaining after making the allocation pursuant to Section 5.1.2(b)(i) multiplied by (II) the Class A Percentage shall be allocated to the holders of HF Class A Units, in proportion to the relative number of HF Class A Units held by the holders of such HF Units, and (B) an amount of Available Cash in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) equal to (I) the Available Cash in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) remaining after making the allocation pursuant to Section 5.1.2(b)(i) multiplied by (II) the Residual Percentage shall be allocated to all Members and holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s), in proportion to the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class) held by the Members and the holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) (treating, solely for this purpose, each holder of a CS Warrant as holding at the time of any allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1.2(b) a number of HF Units equal to the aggregate number of HF Units for which all CS Warrants then held by such holder may be exercised). 5.1.3 Allocations of Non-Cash Assets. (a) In General. Subject to Section 5.1.3(b), the Company shall allocate among all Members and holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) all equity and other interests that it holds in HF Holdings or any successor thereto, and all of the non-cash proceeds received in exchange for any of its interests in HF Holdings, upon the earliest of the following times: (a) immediately following a Liquidity Event (other than an initial public offering); (b) immediately prior to the first secondary public offering of shares in HF Holdings to follow an initial public offering of shares in HF Holdings that is a Liquidity Event; or (c) upon the consent of the Board to make such an allocation. An allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1.3 shall be made in the same proportions as an allocation of Available Cash pursuant to Section 5.1.2 would have been made to the Members and the holder(s) of the CS Warrant(s) had the assets being allocated first been sold for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such assets, as determined (except as provided in the next sentence) in good faith by the Board, and the proceeds from such sale been allocated pursuant to Section 5.1.2. For purposesof this Section, the "fair market value" of any share of HF Holdings or any successor thereto allocated hereunder shall be (i) in the case of a Liquidity Event (other than an initial public offering), the amount of consideration per share paid in connection with the Liquidity Event, (ii) in the case of a secondary public offering, the price at which shares are offered to the public in such offering or (iii) in all other cases, as determined in good faith by the Board.(b) Allocation to CS Warrant Account. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1.3(a), in the event that any holder of a CS Warrant is at the time of an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1.3(a) not permitted under the IBA or the BHCA to hold all or a portion (the "Impermissible Portion") of any non-cash asset that would otherwise be allocated to it (pursuant to Section 5.13(a)), then the Impermissible Portion of the non-cash asset that would otherwise be allocated pursuant to Section 5.1.3(a) to such holder shall instead be allocated to a CS Warrant Account established in respect of the CS Warrant held by such holder. 5.1.4 Treatment of Allotted Assets. (a) Current Distribution. All Available Cash allocated under Section 5.1.2 to any Member or any holder of a CS Warrant shall be distributed to such Member or such holder within two (2) Business Days of the receipt by the Company of such cash. All assets other than Available Cash allocated under Section 5.1.3(a) to any Member or any holder of a CS Warrant shall be distributed to such Member or such holder as soon as reasonably practicable. (b) Set Aside in CS Warrant Account. The portion of each non-cash asset allocated pursuant to Section 5.1.3(b) to a CS Warrant Account shall be held in such account, and no portion of such non-cash asset shall be distributed to the holder of the CS Warrant in respect of which such account was established other than in accordance with Section 5.1.4(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, an amount equal to all cash earnings received by the Company in respect of any non-cash asset held in the CS Warrant Account shall be distributed, to the extent of Available Cash, to the holder of the CS Warrant in respect of which such account was established as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of such cash. All non-cash earnings in respect of an asset in the CS Warrant Account shall remain in the account and be distributed in accordance with Section 5.1.4(c). (c) Distribution of Non-Cash Assets From CS Warrant Account. No non-cash asset held in a CS Warrant Account shall be distributed until such time as: (i) the holder of the CS Warrant in respect of which such account was established notifies the Company that it has become permissible under the IBA and/or the BHCA for such holder to hold all or a portion of one or more of the non-cash assets in such account, in which case, that portion of each non-cash asset in such CS Warrant Account which such holder may then hold shall be distributed to such holder within two (2) Business Days of such notification; or (ii) the CS Warrant in respect of which the CS Warrant Account was established is exercised in whole or in part. In the event of an exercise described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the CS Account Distribution Fraction of each remaining asset in the CS Warrant Account shall be distributed to the holder exercising the CS Warrant in respect of which the account was established, within two (2) Business Days after the date as of which exercise of the warrant shall be deemed to have been effective pursuant to Section 1.3 of such CS Warrant. In the event that a CS Warrant lapses, distributions that would have been made to the holder of such warrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.4(c) shall be made to, or to the designee of, such holder within five (5) Business Days of such lapse. 5.2 No Valuation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a Distribution to any Member on account of its Interest in the Company if such Distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law. 5.3 Withholdings. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, Distribution, or allocation to the Company shall be treated as amounts paid to the Company. The Administrative Members are authorized to withhold from Distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts required to be so withheld. The Administrative Members shall allocate any such amounts to the Members in respect of whose Distribution or allocation in the tax was withheld and shall treat such amounts as actually distributed to such Members. 5.4 Property Distributions and Installment Sales. The amount by which the fair market value of any property to be distributed in kind pursuant to Sections 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 exceeds or is less than the then prevailing Asset Value of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Company, be taken into account in determining Net Profit and Net Loss and determining the Capital Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members as if such property had been sold at its fair market value immediately prior to the distribution. If any assets are sold in transactions in which, by reason of the provisions of Section 453 of the Code or any successor thereto, gain is realized but not recognized, such gain shall be taken into account when realized in computing gain or loss of the Company for purposes of allocation of Net Profit or Net Loss under this Article 5. 5.5 Net Profit or Net Loss. 5.5.1 Definitions. The "Net Profit" or "Net Loss" of the Company for each Fiscal Year or relevant part thereof shall mean the Company's taxable income or loss for federal income tax purposes for such period (including therein all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code) with the following adjustments: (a) Gain or loss attributable to the disposition of property of the Company with an Asset Value different than the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes shall be computed with respect to the Asset Value of such property and any tax gain or loss not included in Net Profit or Loss shall be taken into account and allocated among the Members pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof. (b) Depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions with respect to any property with an Asset Value that differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes shall be computed in accordance with Asset Value and any depreciation allowable for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.7. 5.5.2 Allocations of Net Profit.

(In determining the extent to which shares of HF Holdings that are sold are Released Shares, the presumptions set forth above in Section 5.1.2(a) shall apply.) (b) All income and gain recognized by the Company (or treated as recognized pursuant to Section 3.4 or 3.5) in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) shall be allocated to the Members' Capital Accounts (and, if appropriate, Sub-Capital Accounts for the HF Holdings investment) as follows: (i) first, if losses and deductions have previously been allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 5.5.3(b)(ii), to the Members in proportion to the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class) held by the Members, until the aggregate amount allocated pursuant to this clause (i) equals the aggregate amount of losses and deductions previously allocated pursuant to Section 5.5.3(b)(ii); and (ii) thereafter, (A) the balance of such income and gain multiplied by the Class A Percentage shall be allocated to the holders of HF Class A Units, in proportion to the relative number of HF Class A Units held by the holders of such Units, and (B) the balance of such income and gain multiplied by the Residual Percentage to all Members, in proportion to the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class) held by the Members. 5.5.3 Allocations of Net Loss. The Net Loss of the Company attributable to the Company's investment in HF Holdings (or any Short-Term Investments related thereto) for any relevant fiscal period shall be allocated and charged to the Capital Accounts (or the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members as follows: (a) All losses and deductions recognized by the Company (and amounts so treated pursuant to Section 3.4 or 3.5) (i) as a result of the exercise, in whole or in part, of any Junior Management Option or the CS Option, (ii) as a result of the sale or other disposition of Released Shares, or (iii) otherwise in respect of Option Shares or Released Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto), shall be allocated to the Members' Capital Accounts (and, if appropriate, Sub-Capital Accounts for the HF Holdings investment) pro rata in proportion to their HF Units. (In determining the extent to which shares of HF Holdings that are sold are Released Shares, the presumptions set forth above in Section 5.1.2(a) shall apply.) (b) All losses and deductions recognized by the Company (or treated as recognized pursuant to Section 3.4 or 3.5) in respect of Free Shares (or Short-Term Investments related thereto) shall be allocated to the Members' Capital Accounts (and, if appropriate, Sub-Capital Accounts for the HF Holdings investment) as follows: (i) first, if income and gain have previously been allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 5.5.2(b)(ii), (A) the Class A Percentage multiplied by such losses and deductions in respect of Free Shares shall be allocated to the holders of HF Class A Units, in proportion to the relative number of HF Class A Units held by the holders of such Units, and (B) the Residual Percentage multiplied by such losses and deductions in respect of Free Shares shall be allocated to all Members, in proportion to the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class) held by the Members, until the aggregate amount allocated pursuant to this clause equals (x) the aggregate amount of income and gain previously allocated pursuant to Section 5.5.2(b)(ii) less (y) the aggregate amount previously allocated for Distribution pursuant to Section 5.1.2(b)(ii) (or Section 5.1.3, to the extent allocated in accordance with Section 5.1.2(b)(ii)); and(ii) thereafter, to the Members in proportion to the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class) held by the Members. 5.5.4 Special Allocation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.5.2 and 5.5.3, all income earned in respect of any non-cash assets allocated to a CS Warrant Account shall be specially allocated to the holder of the CS Warrant in respect of which such account was established. 5.6 Limitation on Allocation of Loss; Qualified Income Offset; Curative Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.5.2 and 5.5.3, in no event shall an item of loss, expense or deduction be allocated to a Member's Capital Account if it would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Member's Capital Account, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation $1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). In addition, this Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed to contain a qualified income offset provision, within the meaning of such regulation. It is the intention of the Members that any allocations required by the first two sentences of this Section 5.6 not affect the amount or timing of Distributions to be made under this Agreement. In furtherance of this objective, in the event any allocation is made pursuant to either of the first two sentences of this Section 5.6, the Administrative Members are hereby directed to make (with the advice of the Company's independent tax advisors and the consent of the Board) such curative allocations as they determine to be appropriate to offset the effects of such allocation. Any item of Net Profit or Net Loss allocated pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not again be allocated pursuant to Section 5.5. 5.7 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c) and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation. 5.7.1 Contributed Assets. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company with an adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes different from the initial Asset Value at which such property was accepted by the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account such difference in the manner required by Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury Regulations. 5.7.2 Revalued Assets. If upon the acquisition of additional Units in the Company by a new or existing Member the Asset Value of any the assets of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such assets shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account such adjustment in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations. 5.7.3 Elections and Limitations. The allocations required by this Section 5.7 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect the allocation of Net Profits or Net Losses as between Members or any Members' Capital Accounts (or Sub-Capital Accounts). All tax allocations required by this Section 5.7 shall be made using the so-called "traditional method" described in the Treasury Regulations 1.704-3(b); except that the Administrative Members, with the advice of the Company's auditors or tax counsel and the consent of the Board, may elect to use the so-called "traditional method with curative allocations" described in Treasury Regulations 1.704-3(c). 5.7.4 Tax Allocations. Except as noted above, all items of income, deduction and loss shall be allocated for Federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner such items are allocated for purposes of calculating Net Profits and Net Losses. 5.8 Additional Investments. The Members acknowledge and agree that upon the making by the Company of an investment other than the investment in HF Holdings as of September 27, 1999, Sections 5.1 and 5.5 shall be amended to include the necessary distribution and allocation provisions for such new investment.

The Company shall not redeem all or any portion of the HF Units prior to a Liquidity Event without the prior consent of the Board. 9.8 "Come Along" Rights. Each Member hereby agrees, if requested by Watterson (provided that if Watterson is incapacitated or dies, Stevenson shall have the right to request in his stead), CS and/or Robert Gay (prior to a Gay Disability) (the "Initiating Sellers," as applicable), and approved by the Board, to Transfer for value (for purposes of this Section 9.8, a "Sale") a specified percentage (for purposes of this Section 9.8, the "Sale Percentage") of the Units then owned by such Member to any Person (for purposes of this Section 9.8, the "Proposed Buyer") in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 9.8 in connection with the sale of the Sale Percentage of the total number of such Units (on a fully diluted basis) held by all such Initiating Sellers, to the Proposed Buyer; provided, however, that no Member shall have any obligations under this Section 9.8 with respect to a particular Transfer if the Sale Percentage with respect to such transfer is less than ten percent (10%); and provided, further, that any Transfer pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall comply with the provisions of Sections 9.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6. 9.8.1 Procedure. If the Initiating Sellers elect to exercise their rights under this Section 9.8, a notice (the "Come Along Notice") shall be furnished by them to each Member. The Come Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to the Units, including the class and number of Units to be purchased from the Initiating Sellers, the Sale Percentage, the maximum and minimum purchase price of each Class of Units, the name and address of the Proposed Buyer and (if the Proposed Buyer is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act) the name of each director of the Proposed Buyer and of each Person which is the beneficial owner of more than twenty percent (20%) of the common stock of the Proposed Buyer. If the Initiating Sellers consummate the Sale referred to in the Come Along Notice, each other holder of Units (each a "Participating Seller") shall be bound and obligated to sell the Sale Percentage of the Units in the Sale on the same terms and conditions (subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement and it being understood that, without limiting the foregoing, for such purposes the terms applicable to all Units shall be identical in all respects, other than the purchase price of the Class A Units, that shall reflect the Class A Percentage applicable to such Units), with respect to each Unit sold in a Sale, as the Initiating Sellers shall sell each of their Units in the Sale. If at the end of the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the date of the effectiveness of the Come Along Notice the Initiating Sellers have not completed the Sale, each Participating Seller shall be released from his obligation under the Come Along Notice, the Come Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Come Along Notice to have been furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 9.8 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Sale pursuant to this Section 9.8, unless the failure to complete such Sale resulted from any failure by any Participating Seller to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Section 9.8. 9.8.2 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Securities in the proposed Sale pursuant to Section 9.8.1 includes any securities and the receipt thereof by any Member as a Participating Seller would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any participant in the Sale of any information other than such information as would be required under Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar rules then in effect in an offering made pursuant to said Regulation D solely to "accredited investors" as defined in said Regulation D, the Initiating Sellers shall be obligated only to use their reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 9. 8, if use of reasonable best efforts shall not have resulted in such requirements being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities, the Initiating Sellers shall cause to be paid to the Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Units (in accordance with Section 9.8.4 hereof) which would have otherwise been sold by such Participating Seller to the Proposed Buyer in the Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the securities each such Participating Seller would otherwise receive. The obligation of the Initiating Sellers to use reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Participating Seller to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Participating Seller executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions including without limitation, if required by the Initiating Sellers on advice of their counsel, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a "purchaser representative" (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that he was so represented, as the Initiating Sellers shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with. Each Participating Seller agrees to take such actions as the Initiating Sellers shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with, and no Participating Seller shall have the right to require that such Participating Seller receive cash in lieu of securities on the grounds that such requirements have not been complied with. 9.8.3 Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller, and each Member to whom the Units held by such Participating Seller were originally issued, shall, whether in his capacity as a Participating Seller, member, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably requested in order expeditiously to consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 9.8; provided, however, that neither Watterson nor Stevenson shall be required hereunder to extend the term of their employment agreements with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 9.8.4 Closing. The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 9.8 shall take place at such time and place as the Initiating Sellers shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller. At the closing of any Sale under this Section 9.8, each Participating Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Units to be sold by such Participating Seller, duly endorsed, or with other appropriate instruments duly endorsed, for transfer, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, with any equity transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration. 9.8.5 Fairness Opinions in Certain Circumstances. (a) Opinion. In the case of a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 9.8 to a Proposed Buyer which is an Affiliate of any Initiating Seller, any Member that is not an Initiating Seller may give notice (the date of such notice being the "Section 9.8 Request Date") to the Initiating Sellers of a request for a fairness opinion under this Section 9.8.5 within ten (10) calendar days after the earlier of the effectiveness of the Come Along Notice with respect thereto or such date as Initiating Sellers may provide a separate written notice of such Sale, then such Sale shall not be effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.8 unless the Company or the Initiating Sellers shall furnish the holder or holders so requesting (with a copy thereof to any holder of Units that may so request) a notice which includes a written opinion of an Independent Investment Banking Firm to the effect that the Sale is fair to the holders of the requesting Class of Units from a financial point of view (a "Section 9.8 Opinion"). In rendering such Section 9.8 Opinion, such Independent Investment Banking Firm shall consider (i) the form and amount of consideration to be received pursuant to such Sale in respect of Units by holders thereof other than holders of the requesting Class of Units, (ii) the form and amount of consideration to be received pursuant to such Sale in respect of Units by the holders of the requesting Class of Units, and (iii) other factors it may deem relevant. (b) Selection of Investment Banking Firm. The Independent Investment Banking Firm to provide the Section 9.8 Opinion shall be selected by the Board; provided, however, that the votes of the Directors designated by the Initiating Seller shall not be taken into account when making such a selection. 9.9 "Tag Along" Rights. Upon approval by the Board of a Transfer pursuant to Section 9.1.2(e) and the approval by the Board of "tag along" rights (or similar rights) in connection therewith, no Member (for purposes of this Section 9.9, collectively, the "Proposed Seller") shall Transfer (for purposes of this Section 9.9, a "Sale") any Units to any other Person (for the purposes of this Section 9.9, the "Proposed Buyer"), other than to Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 9.1, except in the manner and on the terms set forth in Sections 9.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 and 9.9, and attempted Transfers in violation of Sections 9.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 and 9.9 shall be null and void. 9.9.1 Offer. A written notice (the "Tag Along Notice") shall be furnished by the Proposed Seller to all other Members (the "Tag Along Offerees") at least ten (10) Business Days prior to a Transfer. The Tag Along Notice shall include: (a) The principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to the Units, including the Class and number of Units to be purchased from the Proposed Seller, the percentage on a fully-diluted basis of the total number of Units held by the Proposed Seller which such number of Units constitutes (for purposes of this Section 9.9, the "Sale Percentage"), the maximum and minimum purchase price of each Class of Units, the name and address of the Proposed Buyer, and (if the Proposed Buyer is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act) the name of each director of the Proposed Buyer and of each Person which is the beneficial owner of more than twenty percent (20%) of the common stock of the Proposed Buyer; and (b) An offer by the Proposed Seller to include, at the option of each Tag Along Offeree, in the Sale to the Proposed Buyer such number of Units owned by such Tag Along Offeree up to the Sale Percentage of the total number of Units held by such Tag Along Offeree), on the same terms and conditions (subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, and subject to differences in pricing between Classes of Units), with respect to each Unit sold in a Sale, as the Proposed Seller shall sell each of its Units. (c) Exercise. Each Tag Along Offeree desiring to accept the offer contained in the Tag Along Notice shall send a written commitment to the Proposed Seller specifying the number of Units (not in any event to exceed the Sale Percentage of the total number of Units held by such Tag Along Offeree) which such Tag Along Offeree desires to have included in the Sale within ten (10) Business Days after the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice (each a "Participating Seller"). Each Tag Along Offeree who has not so accepted such offer shall be deemed to have waived all of his or her rights with respect to the applicable Sale, and the Proposed Seller and the Participating Sellers shall thereafter be free to sell to the Proposed Buyer, at a price no greater than the maximum price set forth in the Tag Along Notice and otherwise on terms not more favorable in any material respect to them than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Tag Along Offerees. If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed Sale shall change with the result that the price shall be greater than 105% of the maximum price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other terms shall be more favorable in any material respect than as set forth in the Tag Along Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to have been furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 9.9 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 9.9; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Tag Along Notice, the applicable period referred to in Section 9.9.1 shall be five (5) Business Days. (d) The acceptance of each Participating Seller shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Participating Seller shall be bound and obligated to sell in the Sale, on the same terms and conditions specified in the Tag Along Notice (subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement), such number of Units as such Participating Seller shall have specified in such Participating Seller's written commitment. In the event the Proposed Seller shall be unable (otherwise than by reason of the circumstances described in Section 9.9.2) to obtain the inclusion in the Sale of all Units which the Proposed Seller and each Participating Seller desires to have included in the Sale (as evidenced in the case of the Proposed Seller by the Tag Along Notice and in the case of each Participating Seller by such Participating Seller's written commitment), the number of Units to be sold in the Sale by the Proposed Seller and each Participating Seller shall be reduced on a pro rata basis according to the proportion which the number of Units which each such Person desires to have included in the Sale bears to the total number of Units desired by all such Persons to have included in the Sale (all on a fully diluted basis). (e) If at the end of the one hundred eightieth (180th) calendar day following the date of the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice the Proposed Seller has not completed the Sale as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.9, each Participating Seller shall be released from his obligations under his written commitment, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to have been furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 9.9 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Sale pursuant to this Section 9.9, unless the failure to complete such Sale resulted from any failure by any Tag Along Offeree to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Section 9.9. 9.9.2 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Units in the proposed Sale pursuant to Section 9.9 includes any securities and the receipt thereof by a Participating Seller would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities, or (ii) the provision to any participant in the Sale of any information other than such information as would be required under Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar rule then in effect in an offering made pursuant to said Regulation D solely to "accredited investors" as defined in said Regulation D, the Proposed Seller shall be obligated only to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 9.9, if use of reasonable be st efforts shall not have resulted in such requirements being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities, the Proposed Seller shall cause to be paid to such Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Units (in accordance with Section 9.9.4 hereof) which would have otherwise been sold in such Sale by such Participating Seller to the Proposed Buyer in the Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the securities which such Participating Seller would otherwise receive. The obligation of the Proposed Seller to use reasonable best efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Participating Seller to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Participating Seller executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions (including without limitation, if required by the Proposed Seller on advice of its counsel, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a "purchaser representative" (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that he was so represented), as the Proposed Seller shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to have been complied with. Each Participating Seller agrees to take such actions as the Proposed Seller shall reasonably request order to permit such requirements to have been complied with, and no Participating Seller shall have the right to require that such Participating Seller receive cash in lieu of securities on grounds that such requirements have not been complied with. 9.9.3 Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller, and each Member to whom the Units held by such Participating Seller were originally issued, shall, whether in his capacity as a Participating Seller, member, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, take or cause to be taken all such actions (subject as to entering into agreements to the provisions of the next sentence hereof) as may be reasonably requested in order to expeditiously consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 9.9; provided however, that neither Watterson nor Stevenson shall be required hereunder to extend the term of their employment agreements with the Company or any subsidiary thereof. 9.9.4 Closing. The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 9.9 shall take place at such time and place as the Proposed Seller shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller. At the closing of any Sale under this Section 9.9, each Participating Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Units to be sold by such Participating Seller, duly endorsed, or with other appropriate instruments duly endorsed, for transfer, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, with any equity transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration. 9.9.5 Excluded Transactions. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 9.9 to the contrary, the preceding provisions of this Section 9.9 shall not apply to any Sale pursuant to Section 9.8; and no holder of Units shall have pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.9 any right of participation or otherwise with respect to any Transfer of Units to Permitted Transferees; provided that such Permitted Transferee has delivered to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that all such Units to be received by such recipient are subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement and that such recipient is bound hereby and a party hereto to the same extent as the holder thereof, as the case may be. 9.10 Determination Of Fair Market Value. The term "Fair Market Value" shall mean, the fair value of the applicable Units or other securities as of the applicable date on the basis of a sale of such Units or securities in an arms length private sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither acting under compulsion. In determining such Fair Market Value, no discount shall be taken for constituting a minority interest and no upward adjustment or discount shall be taken relating to the fact that the Units in question are subject to the restrictions and entitled to the rights provided hereunder. For purposes of Sections 9.8 or 9.9 of this Agreement, such Fair Market Value shall be determined, absent any agreement between the Company and the holders of a majority of the Units in question regarding such valuation, by an Independent Investment Banking Firm retained by the Company (the fees and expenses of which shall be shared in one-half shares by the Company, on the one hand, and the holders of Units subject to such Fair Market Value determination, on the other hand) selected as follows: the Board shall propose three Independent Investment Banking Firms, and the Independent Investment Banking Firm to perform the calculation shall be selected from such list of three by the holders of a majority of the Units subject to such Fair Market Value determination. 9.11 Period. The foregoing provisions of Article 9 shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date of termination of this Agreement and (ii) a Liquidity Event.

The Company's property and assets or the proceeds from the liquidation thereof shall be distributed so as not to contravene the Act but otherwise in compliance with Section 5.1; provided, however, that Distributions to Members shall be made after their Capital Accounts (and Sub-Capital Accounts) have been adjusted to reflect all Net Profits and Net Losses (and amounts treated as Net Profits and Losses pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5) of the Company through the date of distribution. A full accounting of the assets and liabilities of the Company shall be taken and a statement thereof shall be fur nished to each Member within thirty (30) days after the distribution of all of the assets of the Company. Such accounting and statements shall be prepared under the direction of the Administrative Members with the consent of the Board. Upon such final accounting, the Company shall terminate and an authorized person, appointed pursuant to Section 2.7, shall cancel the Certificate in accordance with the Act. 12.3 No Further Claim. Upon dissolution, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contributions, and if the Company's property remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company, including debts and liabilities owed to one or more of the Members, is insufficient to return the aggregate Capital Contributions of each Member, such Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member except to the extent that Member has received Distributions in excess of those to which such Member was entitled to under the terms of this Agreement. 12.4 No Action for Dissolution. The Members acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the Company if any Member should bring an action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section 12.1. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the Interests of all Members. Accordingly, except where the Company has not been liquidated as required by Section 12.1 and except as specifically provided in Section 18-802 of the Act, each Member hereby waives and renounces its right to initiate legal action to seek dissolution or to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company. Article 13 INDEMNIFICATION 13.1 General. Neither the Administrative Members nor any holder of Class A Units or Class B Units, nor any director, officer, partner, stockholder, affiliate, fiduciary, agent, advisor, attorney, controlling person or employee of the Administrative Members or any holder of Class A Units or Class B Units, nor any person serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or independent contractor of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all of the foregoing persons and entities being referred to collectively as "Indemnified Parties" and individually as an "Indemnified Party") shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any act or omission suffered or taken by it that is not in material violation of this Agreement and does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, without reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful. 13.2 Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Indemnified Party shall be fully protected and indemnified by the Company out of Company assets against all liabilities and losses (including amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of litigation, and legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding) suffered by virtue of its serving as an Indemnified Party with respect to any action or omission suffered or taken that is not in material violation of this Agreement and does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, without reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. The Company may, with the consent of the Board, advance expenses, including legal fees, for which any Indemnified Party would be entitled by this Agreement to be indemnified upon receipt of an unsecured undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of proper jurisdiction that indemnification for such expenses is not permitted by law or authorized by this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party may consult with recognized, outside legal counsel selected by the Company, and any action or omission taken or suffered in good faith in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel shall be conclusive evidence that such action or omission did not materially violate this Agreement, did not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, was suffered or taken without reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. Unless there is a specific finding of fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful (or where such a finding is an essential element of a judgment or order), the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption for the purposes of this Section 13.2 that the person or entity in question acted fraudulently, was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful.
