"Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar Federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

"Selling Expenses" shall mean the expenses so described in Section 7 hereof.

SECTION 2 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the Restricted Stock and, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof, each certificate issued upon

exchange or transfer of any such securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

"THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 NOR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE."

SECTION 3 Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of any Restricted Stock (other than under the circumstances described in Section 4 or 5 hereof), the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner of the proposed transfer and, if requested by the Company, shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon such holder shall be entitled to transfer such securities in accordance with the terms of its notice; provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel shall be required for a transfer by a holder of Restricted Stock (x) to an Affiliate of such holder or (y) in the case of a holder that is a partnership, to a partner or employee of such holder or a retired partner or retired employee of such holder who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner, retired partner, employee or retired employee, or a transfer by gift, will or intestate succession from any holder of Restricted Stock to his or her spouse or members of his or her or his or her spouse's family or a trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, in any such case set forth in clauses (x) and (y), only if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were an original holder of Restricted Stock hereunder. All Restricted Stock transferred as above provided shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2, except that such securities shall not bear such legend if (i) such transfer is in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 (or any other rule permitting public sale without registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that the transferee and any subsequent transferee (other than an affiliate of the Company) would be entitled to transfer such securities in a public sale without registration under the Securities Act.

SECTION 4 Required Registration.

(a) At any time following the consummation of an initial public offering by the Company of its securities, Holding may, by written notice, request on not more than five occasions that the Company register under the Securities Act all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holders for sale in the manner specified in such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no request may be made under this Section 4 within 360 days after the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company covering a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the holders of Restricted Stock shall have been entitled to join pursuant to this Section 4 or Section 5 hereof and in which there shall have been effectively registered all shares of Restricted Stock as to which registration shall have been so requested (and which requests shall total at least fifty percent of the shares of Restricted Stock originally purchased by Holding).

(b) Promptly following receipt of any notice under this Section 4 the Company shall file and use its best efforts to have declared effective a registration statement under the Securities Act for the public sale, in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice from requesting holders, of the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice (and in any notices received from other holders of Restricted Stock within 20 days after the date of such notice from the Company). If such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering, the Company may designate the managing underwriter of such offering, subject to the approval of a majority in interest of the selling holders of Restricted Stock, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The number of shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold therein. The Company shall be obligated to register Restricted Stock pursuant to requests made by Holding under this Section 4 on two occasions only; provided, however, that as to such occasion such obligation shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering all shares of Restricted Stock specified in notices received as aforesaid, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders, shall have become effective and, if such method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering, all such shares shall have been sold pursuant thereto.

(c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration statement referred to in this Section 4 for which the method of distribution is an underwritten public offering, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by Holding shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter (if such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering), such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Restricted Stock to be sold. Except with respect to registration statements on Form S-3 or Form S-8, or as otherwise provided in this paragraph 4(c), the Company will not file with the Commission any other registration statement with respect to its Class A Common Stock, whether for its own account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from requesting holders pursuant to this Section 4 until the completion of the period of distribution of the registration contemplated thereby.

SECTION 5 Incidental Registration; Form S-3 Registration.

(a) If the Company at any time (other than pursuant to Section 4 hereof) proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Form S-4 or S-8 or another form not available for registering Restricted Stock for sale to the public), each such time it will give written notice to all holders of Restricted Stock of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such holder, given within 20 days after the date of receipt of any such notice, to register any of its Restricted Stock (which request shall state the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will use its best efforts to cause the Restricted Stock as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder (in accordance with its written request) of such Restricted Stock so registered. The Company may withdraw any such registration statement before it becomes effective or postpone the offering of

securities contemplated by such registration statement without any obligation to the holders of any Restricted Stock. In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Class A Common Stock, any request by a holder pursuant to this Section 5 to register Restricted Stock shall specify that either (i) such Restricted Stock is to be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration or (ii) such Restricted Stock is to be sold in the open market without any underwriting, on terms and conditions comparable to those normally applicable to offerings of Class A Common Stock in reasonably similar circumstances. The number of shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced (in accordance with Section 11 hereof) if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that if any shares are to be included in such underwriting for the account of any person other than the Company, the number of shares to be included by any such person shall be reduced first; and provided further, however, that the number of any such shares held by any person other than the holders of Restricted Stock hereunder shall be reduced before the number of any such shares held by the holders of Restricted Stock hereunder is reduced. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5, in the event that there is an underwritten offering of securities of the Company pursuant to a registration covering Restricted Stock and a selling holder of Restricted Stock does not elect to sell his, her or its Restricted Stock to the underwriters of the Company's securities in connection with such offering, such holder shall refrain from selling such Restricted Stock not registered pursuant to this Section 5 during the period of distribution of the Company's securities by such underwriters and the period in which the underwriting syndicate participates in the after market; provided, however, that such holder shall, in any event, be entitled to sell its Restricted Stock in connection with such registration commencing on the 120th day after the effective date of such registration statement.

(b) If, at a time when Form S-3 is available for such registration, the Company shall receive from Holding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 of any of such holder's Restricted Stock, the Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Restricted Stock and, as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such related qualifications and compliances as may be requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all Restricted Stock as are specified in such request and any written requests of other holders given within 20 days after receipt of such notice. The Company shall not be required to file a registration statement under Form S-3 if it would not be required to file a registration statement under Section 4 hereof pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv). The Company shall have no obligation to effect a registration under this Section 5(b) unless either (i) all the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock are requested to be sold pursuant to such registration or (ii) the aggregate offering price of the securities requested to be sold pursuant to such registration is, in the good faith judgment of the Company, expected to be equal to or greater than $1,000,000. Any registration under this Section 5(b) will not be counted as a registration under Section 4 above.

SECTION 6 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 4 or 5 hereof to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any shares of Restricted Stock under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (which, in the case of an underwritten public offering pursuant to Section 4 hereof, shall be on Form S-l or other form of general applicability satisfactory to the managing underwriter selected as therein provided) with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided);

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period specified in paragraph 6(a) above and as to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement in accordance with the sellers' intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;

(c) furnish to Holding and to each underwriter such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement;

(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as Holding or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably request;

(e) immediately notify Holding under such registration statement and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(f) use its best efforts to furnish, at the request of Holding, on the date that Restricted Stock is delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to Holding, stating (A) that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act, (B) that, to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act and (C) that the registration statement and the related prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements contained therein), and to such other

effects as may reasonably be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by Holding or its counsel, and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters and to Holding, stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five business days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is being given as such underwriters or Holding may reasonably request; and

(g) make available for inspection by Holding, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by Holding or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Holding, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.

For purposes of paragraphs 6(a) and (b) above and of Section 4(c) hereof, the period of distribution of Restricted Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period of distribution of Restricted Stock in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until the earlier of the sale of all Restricted Stock covered thereby or nine months after the effective date thereof

In connection with each registration hereunder, the selling holders of Restricted Stock will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to themselves and the proposed distribution by them as shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with Federal and applicable state securities laws.

In connection with each registration pursuant to Sections 4 and 5, hereof covering an underwritten public offering, the Company agrees to enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter selected in the manner herein provided in such form and containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between major underwriters and companies of the Company's size and investment stature, provided that such agreement shall not contain any such provision applicable to the Company which is inconsistent with the provisions hereof and provided, further, that the time and place of the closing under said agreement shall be as mutually agreed upon between the Company and such managing underwriter.

SECTION 7 Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Sections 4 and 5 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars and costs of insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for Holding, but excluding any Selling Expenses, are herein called "Registration Expenses." All

underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Restricted Stock are herein called "Selling Expenses." The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 hereof. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any sale of Restricted Stock by Holding shall be borne by Holding, provided, however, if the Company withdraws any registration statement before it becomes effective with respect to which Holding shall have exercised incidental registration rights as contemplated by Section 5(a), the Company shall reimburse Holding for all Selling Expenses incurred in connection with such registration.

SECTION 8 Indemnification. In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 or 5 hereof, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Holding and each underwriter of such Restricted Stock thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls Holding or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which Holding or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 or 5, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Holding, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by Holding such underwriter or such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.

In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 or 5, hereof, each seller of such Restricted Stock thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer or director or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 or 5, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any

such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, and provided, however, that Holding will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to Holding, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by Holding specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; provided, further, however, that the liability of Holding hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares sold by Holding under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not to exceed the proceeds received by Holding from the sale of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel for the indemnified person as aforesaid or (ii) the indemnifying party and such indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any action or related actions in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and disbursements of more than one separate firm qualified in such jurisdiction to act as counsel for the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If the indemnification provided for in the first two paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under such paragraphs in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or actions in respect thereof referred to therein, then each indemnifying party 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, liabilities or actions in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and Holding, on the other, in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations including the failure to give any notice under the third paragraph of this Section 8. 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 the Company, on the one hand, or by Holding, on the other, and to the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and Holding agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 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 immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or action in respect thereof, referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this and the immediately preceding paragraph, Holding shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount, if any, by which the total price at which the Class A Common Stock sold by it was offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which it would have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of omission. 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 is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnification of underwriters provided for in this Section 8 shall be on such other terms and conditions as are at the time customary and reasonably required by such underwriters. In that event the indemnification of Holding in such underwriting shall at Holding's request be modified to conform to such terms and conditions.

SECTION 9 Changes in Class A Common Stock. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Class A Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof, as may be required, so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Class A Common Stock as so changed.

SECTION 10 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Holding as follows (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement):

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and will not violate any provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of government the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, or any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it or any of its properties or assets is bound, or conflict with, result in a

breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Company.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 11 Priority on Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company and the holders of the Restricted Stock to be registered in writing that in its or their opinion the number of shares of Restricted Stock proposed to be sold in any registration and any other securities of the Company requested or proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without (A) creating a substantial risk that the proceeds or price per share that will be derived from such registration will be materially reduced or that the number of Restricted Stock to be registered is too large a number to be reasonably sold, or (B) materially and adversely affecting such registration in any other respect, the Company will (x) include in such registration the aggregate number of Restricted Stock to be registered for each stockholder to be reduced firstly, against the other stockholders, secondly, against Holding; (in each case pro rata based on the amount of Restricted Stock of the stockholders in the applicable class requested to be included in such registration), and (y) not allow any securities other than Restricted Stock to be included in such registration unless all Restricted Stock request to be included shall have been included therein, and then only to the extent recommended by the managing underwriter or determined by the Company after consultation with an investment banker of national recognized standing (notification of which number shall be given by the Company to the holders of Restricted Stock).

SECTION 12 Rule 144 Reporting. The Company agrees as follows:

(a) The Company shall make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after 90 days following the effective date of the first registration of the Company under the Securities Act of an offering of its securities to the general public.

(b) The Company shall file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents as the Commission may prescribe under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

(c) The Company shall furnish to Holding forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time from and after 90 days following the effective date of the first registration statement of the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents so filed as Holding may reasonably request to avail itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing Holding to sell any such securities without registration.

SECTION 13 Miscellaneous.

(a) The rights arising under Sections 4 and 5 shall terminate when (i) Holding is no longer an "affiliate" as used in Rule 144 and (ii) Holding is permitted to sell all Restricted Stock then held by them pursuant to Rule 144(k).

(b) All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the registration rights conferred herein on Holding shall inure to the benefit of any and all subsequent holders from time to time of its Restricted Stock for so long as the certificates representing the Restricted Stock shall be required to bear the legend specified in Section 2 hereof.
