Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-03587) ("Issuer's Registration
Statement") and are incorporated herein by reference.

Subsequent Events

        On November 30, 1995, in connection with the merger of TCC with and into
Coinmach, the shares of capital stock of TCC owned by each of the TCC
stockholders, including certain of the Reporting Persons, were exchanged for
shares of capital stock of the Issuer, in each case, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 30,
1995, among TCC, Solon and SAS (the "Merger Agreement"). A copy of the Merger
Agreement was filed by Coinmach with the SEC as Exhibit 2.1 to Coinmach's
Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

        On July 10, 1996, prior to the initial public offering of shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Initial Public Offering"), MCS, Mr. Doyle, S.A.
Spencer and Mary M. Spencer acquired from MCS Management, 737.9679, 316.2720 and
1,054.2399 shares of common stock of the Issuer, respectively, in private
transactions.

        On July 17, 1996, in connection with the Initial Public Offering, all
shares of capital stock of the Issuer were reclassified into shares of Common
Stock, shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer and shares of Series A
Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the "Preferred Stock") in accordance with the
terms and provisions of a Reclassification Agreement, dated July 17, 1996, among
the Issuer and the holders of its
<PAGE>
 
capital stock (the "Reclassification Agreement"). A copy of the Reclassification
Agreement was filed by the Issuer with the SEC as Exhibit 10.45 to the Issuer's
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 (File No. 1-11907) (the
"Issuer's June 10") and is incorporated herein by reference.

        On July 23, 1996, pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock, 30.8;
5.2; 3.8 and 2.9 shares of Preferred Stock owned by each of Harvard, Mr. and Ms.
Spencer and Messrs. Chapman and Marrus, respectively, were redeemed by the
Issuer for approximately $592,244, $99,989, $73,069 and $55,763, respectively.

        The summaries of the agreements referred to in this Item 3 and elsewhere
in this statement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such agreements incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        The table in Item 5 of this statement sets forth the number of shares of
Common Stock held by each Reporting Person, each of whom owns such shares for
investment purposes.  Depending on market conditions and other factors
(including securities laws and other legal restrictions governing any proposed
transactions, evaluation of the Issuer's businesses and prospects, availability
of funds, alternative uses of funds and general economic conditions), each
Reporting Person may from time to time acquire additional securities of the
Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of its investment of securities in the
Issuer.

        Prior to the effectiveness of the Issuer's registration statement on
Form 8-A (File No. 1-11907) with respect to the Common Stock, the terms of a
voting agreement (the "Voting Agreement") by and among MCS, Harvard, Messrs.
Blatt, Doyle, Stanky, Prato, Chapman, Marrus, Tulkop, Harrison and Spencer
(collectively, the "Voting Stockholders"), the Issuer and Golder, Thoma,
Cressey, Rauner Fund IV, L.P. (the "Fund") were established, and the parties
thereto agreed to execute the Voting Agreement substantially concurrently with
the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On July 23, 1996, the Voting
Stockholders and the Fund executed the Voting Agreement, a copy of which was
filed by the Issuer with the SEC as Exhibit 10.55 to the Issuer's June 10-Q and
is incorporated herein by reference. Heller Financial, Inc. ("Heller"), which
holds 240,324 shares of the Issuer's non-voting Class B common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Non-voting Common Stock"), and Jackson National Life
Insurance Company ("Jackson National"), which holds 240,324 shares of Non-voting
Common Stock, have agreed to become parties to the Voting Agreement upon any
conversion of Non-voting Common Stock into Common Stock.

        The Voting Agreement provides that each Voting Stockholder and the Fund
will vote its shares of Common Stock and take all other necessary or desirable
actions so that the Board of Directors of the Issuer will initially consist of
five members, (i) two of whom will be designated by the Fund, (ii) two of whom
will be members of the Issuer's management or employees or officers of the
Issuer, in each case designated by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock
held by the Issuer's executive officers, and (iii) one of whom will be an
individual designated by the Fund and reasonably acceptable to Stephen R.
Kerrigan. Additionally, the Voting Agreement provides that the size of the Board
of Directors may be increased by up to two members who will be independent
directors. The independent directors will be designated by the mutual agreement
of the Fund and Mr. Kerrigan.

        In the event the size of the Board of Directors is increased above seven
members or decreased below five members, the additional or remaining
directorships, if any, will be apportioned evenly between (i) directors
designated by the Fund, and (ii) directors designated by the holders of a
majority of Common Stock held by the Issuer's executive officers. Whenever the
additional or remaining directorships cannot be apportioned evenly, the
remaining directorship will be an outside director designated by the Fund and
Mr. Kerrigan.

        The Voting Agreement will terminate at such time as the Fund holds in

amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) sold to the public through a broker,

        On September 17, 1996, the size of the Board of Directors was increased
to seven members, and the Board of Directors appointed Dr. Arthur B. Laffer and
Mr. Stephen G. Cerri as independent directors to fill the newly created
directorships.

        Except as described in this statement, none of the Reporting Persons
and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named
in Schedule A to this statement, presently has any plans or proposals which
relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in paragraphs (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act.


ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

             (a) and (b)

             Each of the Voting Stockholders beneficially owns the number and
percentage of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite each of their names in
this Item 5 below. Other than Mr. Spencer, each Voting Stockholder has the sole
power to vote and the sole power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the
number of shares of Common Stock held by them. By virtue of the relationship
between MCS and Mr. Kerrigan described in Item 2, Mr. Kerrigan may be deemed to
possess indirect beneficial ownership of and share the power to vote and
indirectly share the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by MCS. By virtue of the relationship between
Harvard and Harvard Management described in Item 2, Harvard Management may be
deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of and share the power to vote
and indirectly share the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Harvard. Mr. Spencer and Ms.
Spencer own their shares as joint tenants with right of survivorship and share
the power to vote and the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the
shares of Common Stock held by them.

             The Reporting Persons and the Fund may also be deemed to be a
"group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act as a result of the
Voting Agreement described in Item 4, and, based on the information contained in
the Issuer's Registration Statement, may therefore be deemed to be the indirect
beneficial owners of and to share the power to vote or direct the vote of
4,556,114 additional shares of Common Stock that are subject to the terms of the
Voting Agreement. If the Reporting Persons were deemed to be the beneficial
owners of such additional shares of Common Stock, then the Reporting Persons
would be deemed to be the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 5,964,525 shares
or approximately 59% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, assuming there
are 10,148,167 shares of Common Stock outstanding, including 143,889 shares of
Common Stock subject to currently exercisable options held by the Reporting
Persons. The foregoing information does not include the Non-voting Common Stock
held by Heller and Jackson National. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial
ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by the other parties to the Voting
Agreement.

was filed by the Issuer with the SEC as an exhibit to the Issuer's Registration
Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.  The Registration Rights
Agreement provides that, among other things, if the Issuer proposes to register
any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, whether for its own account or
otherwise, the holders of Registrable Securities (as hereinafter defined) are
entitled to notice of such registration and, subject to, among other things,
certain provisions regarding the priority among holders of securities with
respect to the number of shares to be registered, all the parties to the
Registration Rights Agreement (other than the Issuer) are entitled to include
the securities of the Issuer owned by them ("Registrable Securities") in such
registration.  The Issuer is responsible for all registration expenses in
connection with all such registrations.  The Registration Rights Agreement also
provides for customary indemnification by the Issuer of the holders of the
Registrable Securities.

Issuer is terminated for certain reasons, the shares purchased by the TCC
Executive pursuant to such agreement (other than shares sold by the TCC
Executive pursuant to an underwritten public offering registered under the
Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A, collectively, "Public Sales")
are subject to purchase by the Issuer first, certain other members of management
of the Issuer second, and by the Fund third, at a price equal to the lower of
the original purchase price and the then fair market value of such shares;
provided, however, that if the TCC Executive's employment is terminated without
cause, the shares subject to such agreement may be purchased by such persons or
entities only at fair market value, (ii) prior to the sale (other than a Public
Sale) of the shares purchased thereunder, the Issuer first, certain other
members of management of the Issuer second, and the Fund third, shall have
rights of first refusal with respect to such shares, and (iii) upon any sale

Stock Agreement provides that (i) if the SAS Executive breaches certain
provisions contained in the agreement or the SAS Executive's employment with the
Issuer is terminated for certain reasons, the shares purchased by the SAS
Executive pursuant to such agreement (other than shares sold by the SAS
Executive pursuant to a Public Sale) are subject to purchase by the Issuer
first, certain other members of management of the Issuer second and by the Fund
third at a price equal to the lower of the original purchase price and the then

The SAS Investor Purchase Agreement provides that (i) prior to the sale (other

                                                      -------------  

         5.   Conditions to Exercise of Options.  No Option may be exercised by
              ---------------------------------                                
Optionee to the extent that, at the time of such proposed exercise, Optionee is
not, in the reasonable discretion of the Board, providing, when and as requested
by the Corporation, Services in a manner and on economic terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation and consistent with past practice; provided,
                                                                   --------

- -------                                                               
termination of Optionee's employment by the Corporation without Cause, Optionee
shall be entitled to exercise, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, all Options that have vested on or prior to the date of death or
incapacitation or termination, as the case may be.  For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" means (i) a material breach of any agreement with the
            -----                                                       
Corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or its
stockholders by Optionee (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), (ii)
a breach of Optionee's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or any act of dishonesty, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or fraud with respect to the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or any of their respective
stockholders, customers or suppliers, (iii) the commission by Optionee of a
felony, a crime involving moral turpitude or other act or omission tending to
cause harm to the standing and reputation of, or otherwise bring public disgrace
or disrepute to, the

Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, (iv)
Optionee's continued failure or refusal to perform any material duty to the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent which is
normally attached to his position (after notice and reasonable opportunity to
cure), or (v) Optionee's gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing
those duties which are normally attached to his position (after notice and
reasonable opportunity to cure).  For purposes of this Agreement, "Optionee's
                                                                   ----------
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or

- ----------------                                                            
interests of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate
parent ahead of his personal interests and thereby not knowingly profit
personally at the expense of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent, and shall also include specifically the
affirmative obligation to disclose promptly to the Board any known conflicts of
interest Optionee may have with respect to the Corporation and its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent, and the negative obligations not to usurp
corporate opportunities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent, not to engage in any "conflict-of-interest"
transactions with the Corporation or its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate
parent (without the approval of the Board), and not to compete directly with the
Corporation or its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent (without the
approval of the Board).

         6.   Exercise Procedure.  The Options may be exercised by Optionee,
              ------------------                                            
subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, in whole or in part, at
any time during the Option Period by prior written notice delivered to the
Corporation.  Such notice shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock
to be purchased.  Upon receipt thereof, the Corporation and the Optionee shall
mutually agree to a time and date, not later than 30 days from the delivery date
of such notice, on which to close the exercise of such Options (the "Closing").
                                                                     -------   

         7.   Closing.  At or prior to the Closing, the Optionee shall have
              -------                                                      
delivered to the Corporation (a) the aggregate Exercise Price of the Options
paid in cash or by certified or bank check or wire transfer to an account
designated by the Corporation.  At such time that the Corporation is able to
confirm to its reasonable satisfaction receipt in full of the Exercise Price,
the Corporation shall deliver to Optionee a certificate representing the shares
of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options as soon as practicable
thereafter.

         8.   Fractional Shares; Calculations.  The Corporation shall not be
              -------------------------------                               
required to issue fractions of a share of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Options.  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Optionee's Options
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and the aggregate number of shares
subject to the Options shall be adjusted accordingly.  All

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
calculations required to be made hereunder shall, prior to such rounding, be
carried out to at least the third decimal place.

         9.    Changes in Stock.
               ---------------- 

         (a) Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the
Corporation, if at any time while one or more Options granted hereunder are
outstanding, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased
or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the
Corporation through a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock
combination, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar
change in corporate structure affecting the kind or number of issued shares of
Common Stock as a class, the Corporation shall equitably adjust the number,
kind, and purchase price of the shares subject to the Option so that the
Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares which the Optionee
would have received, as a result of the capital change, for the shares of Common
Stock that he would have acquired by exercising the Option immediately prior to
such capital change, for the same aggregate Exercise Price as the Optionee would
have paid at the prior time.

         (b)   In case the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction
(including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets or a recapitalization of the
Common Stock) in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Corporation or
common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a
noncorporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of any
of the foregoing or in case the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any
distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, other than regularly-scheduled
cash dividends (each such transaction being herein called a "Transaction" and
                                                             -----------     
the date of consummation of a Transaction being herein called a "Consummation
                                                                 ------------
Date"), then lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that upon the
- ----                                                                     
exercise hereof at any time after the Consummation Date of such Transaction, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities or other property to which he or
she would actually have been entitled as a stockholder of the Corporation upon
the consummation of such Transaction, if the Optionee had exercised his Options
immediately prior thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.

         10.   No Voting or Dividend Rights or Rights to Continued Employment.
               --------------------------------------------------------------  
Except as may be specifically provided in Section 9 hereof, nothing contained
herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Optionee the rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation in respect of the shares subject to the Options,
including without limitation, the right to vote as a stockholder, or to receive
any dividends paid or other distributions made to,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
stockholders.  If Optionee is, or hereinafter becomes, an employee or director
of the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon Optionee any right to continued
employment with, or a continued officer or directorship position with, the
Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, nor shall it interfere in any way with
the right of the Corporation to terminate Optionee in accordance with the
provisions regarding such termination set forth in Optionee's written employment
agreement with the Corporation, or if there exists no such agreement, to
terminate Optionee at will, and/or terminate Optionee's directorship or officer
position in accordance with the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and
By-laws and/or applicable law, as the case may be.

         11.   Withholding Tax.  Not later than the date as of which an amount
               ---------------                                                
first must be included in the gross income of Optionee for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to the Options, Optionee may be required to pay the
Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation regarding the
payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld or paid with respect to such amount.  The obligations of the
Corporation pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditional upon such payments
or arrangements with the Corporation, if such payments or arrangements are
required, and the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
Optionee from the Corporation.

         12.   Restrictions on Transferability; Legends.
               ---------------------------------------- 

         (a)   This Agreement, the Options granted hereby, the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, and any other securities issuable pursuant
to Section 9 hereof (collectively, the "Securities") shall not be transferable
                                        ----------                            
by the Optionee without the prior written consent of the Corporation.  No
transfer of the Options by Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution shall be effective to bind the Corporation unless the Corporation
shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will
and/or such other evidence as the Corporation may deem necessary to establish
the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Options.

         (b)   Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not sell, transfer by any means or
otherwise dispose of the Securities without registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and compliance with state securities
                              --------                                        
and Blue Sky laws, or in the event that they are not so registered, unless (i)
an exemption from the 1933 Act registration requirements is available
thereunder, and (ii) Optionee has furnished the Corporation with written notice
of such proposed transfer, and the Corporation's legal counsel, in

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
its reasonable opinion, shall deem such proposed transfer to be so exempt.

         (c)  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not sell, transfer by any means or
otherwise dispose of the Securities, except in accordance with (i) the
Corporation's policy, if any, regarding the sale and disposition of securities
owned by employees, directors and/or officers of the Corporation, (ii) an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation in effect at the time of the
sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options, or
(iii) if such an agreement set forth in clause (ii) above is not in effect, an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation pursuant to which the stockholders of the Corporation may, among
other things, establish certain restrictions and rights to maintain continuity
of ownership and control of the Corporation.

         (d)  Each certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Options shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the
legends in substantially the following forms:

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
          SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN

shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and the aggregate number of shares

the third decimal place.

         9.   Changes in Stock.

Corporation through a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock
combination, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar
change in corporate structure affecting the kind or number of issued shares of
Common Stock as a class, the Corporation shall equitably adjust the number,
kind, and purchase price of the shares subject to the Option so that the
Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares which the Optionee
would have received, as a result of the capital change, for the shares of Common
Stock that he would have acquired by exercising the Option immediately prior to
such capital change, for the same aggregate Exercise Price as the Optionee would
have paid at the prior time.

(including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets or a recapitalization of the
Common Stock) in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Corporation or
common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a
noncorporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of any
of the foregoing or in case the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any
distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, other than regularly-scheduled
cash dividends (each such transaction being herein called a "Transaction" and
                                                             -----------

exercise hereof at any time after the Consummation Date of such Transaction, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities or other property to which he or
she would actually have been entitled as a stockholder of the Corporation upon
the consummation of such Transaction, if the Optionee had exercised his Options
immediately prior thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.

         10.  No Voting or Dividend Rights or Rights to Continued Employment.
              --------------------------------------------------------------  
Except as may be specifically provided in Section 9 hereof, nothing contained
herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Optionee the rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation in respect of the shares subject to the Options,
including without limitation, the right to vote as a stockholder, or to receive
any dividends paid or other distributions made to, stockholders.  If Optionee
is, or hereinafter becomes, an employee or director of the Corporation or any
subsidiary thereof, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
confer upon Optionee any right to continued employment with, or a continued
officer or directorship position with, the Corporation or any subsidiary
thereof, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation to
terminate Optionee in accordance with the provisions regarding such termination
set forth in Optionee's written employment agreement with the Corporation, or if
there exists no such agreement, to terminate Optionee at will, and/or terminate
Optionee's directorship or officer position in accordance with the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and/or applicable law, as the case may
be.

first must be included in the gross income of Optionee for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to the Options, Optionee may be required to pay the
Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation regarding the
payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld or paid with respect to such amount.  The obligations of the
Corporation pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditional upon such payments
or arrangements with the Corporation, if such payments or arrangements are
required, and the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
Optionee from the Corporation.

         12.  Restrictions on Transferability; Legends.
              ---------------------------------------- 

         (a)  This Agreement, the Options granted hereby, the shares of Common

to Section 9 hereof (collectively, the "Securities") shall not be transferable

by the Optionee without the prior written consent of the Corporation.  No
transfer of the Options by Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution shall be effective to bind the Corporation unless the Corporation
shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will
and/or such other evidence as the Corporation may deem necessary to establish
the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Options.

the event that they are not so registered, unless (i) an exemption from the 1933
Act registration requirements is available thereunder, and (ii) Optionee has
furnished the Corporation with written notice of such proposed transfer, and the
Corporation's legal counsel, in its reasonable opinion, shall deem such proposed
transfer to be so exempt.

         (c)  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not sell, transfer by any means or
otherwise dispose of the Securities, except in accordance with (i) the
Corporation's policy, if any, regarding the sale and disposition of securities
owned by employees, directors and/or officers of the Corporation, (ii) an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation in effect at the time of the
sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options, or
(iii) if such an agreement set forth in clause (ii) above is not in effect, an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation pursuant to which the stockholders of the Corporation may, among
other things, establish certain restrictions and rights to maintain continuity
of ownership and control of the Corporation.

         (d)  Each certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Options shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the

              ---------------------------------

parent ahead of his personal interests and thereby not knowingly profit
personally at the expense of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent, and shall also include specifically the
affirmative obligation to disclose promptly to the Board any known conflicts of
interest Optionee may have with respect to the Corporation and its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent, and the negative obligations not to usurp
corporate opportunities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent, not to engage in any "conflict-of-interest"
transactions with the Corporation or its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate
parent (without the approval of the Board), and not to compete directly with the
Corporation or its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent (without the

         6.   Exercise Procedure.  The Options may be exercised by Optionee,
              ------------------                                            
subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, in whole or in part, at
any time during the Option Period by prior written notice delivered to the
Corporation.  Such notice shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock
to be purchased.  Upon receipt thereof, the Corporation and the Optionee shall
mutually agree to a time and date, not later than 30 days from the delivery date

                                                                     -------

delivered to the Corporation (a) the aggregate Exercise Price of the Options
paid in cash or by certified or bank check or wire transfer to an account
designated by the Corporation.  At such time that the Corporation is able to
confirm to its reasonable satisfaction receipt in full of the Exercise Price,
the Corporation shall deliver to Optionee a certificate representing the shares
of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options as soon as practicable
thereafter.

         8.   Fractional Shares; Calculations.  The Corporation shall not be
              -------------------------------                               
required to issue fractions of a share of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Options.  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Optionee's Options
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and the aggregate number of shares
subject to the Options shall be adjusted accordingly.  All

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
calculations required to be made hereunder shall, prior to such rounding, be
carried out to at least the third decimal place.

         9.   Changes in Stock.
              ---------------- 

         (a)  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the
Corporation, if at any time while one or more Options granted hereunder are
outstanding, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased
or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the
Corporation through a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock
combination, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar
change in corporate structure affecting the kind or number of issued shares of
Common Stock as a class, the Corporation shall equitably adjust the number,
kind, and purchase price of the shares subject to the Option so that the
Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares which the Optionee
would have received, as a result of the capital change, for the shares of Common
Stock that he would have acquired by exercising the Option immediately prior to
such capital change, for the same aggregate Exercise Price as the Optionee would
have paid at the prior time.

         (b)  In case the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction
(including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets or a recapitalization of the
Common Stock) in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Corporation or
common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a
noncorporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of any
of the foregoing or in case the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any
distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, other than regularly-scheduled
cash dividends (each such transaction being herein called a "Transaction" and
                                                             -----------     
the date of consummation of a Transaction being herein called a "Consummation
                                                                 ------------
Date"), then lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that upon the
- ----                                                                     
exercise hereof at any time after the Consummation Date of such Transaction, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities or other property to which he or
she would actually have been entitled as a stockholder of the Corporation upon
the consummation of such Transaction, if the Optionee had exercised his Options
immediately prior thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.

         10.  No Voting or Dividend Rights or Rights to Continued Employment.
              --------------------------------------------------------------  
Except as may be specifically provided in Section 9 hereof, nothing contained
herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Optionee the rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation in respect of the shares subject to the Options,
including without limitation, the right to vote as a stockholder, or to receive
any dividends paid or other distributions made to,

                                      -4-

              (b) There are no statutory or contractual stockholders preemptive

         Section 3. Restrictions on Transfer.
                    ------------------------ 

         3A. Transfer of Investor Stock.
             -------------------------- 

         (i) Subject to the restrictions set forth in the remainder of this
    Section 3, Investor Stock is transferable only pursuant to (a) a Public
    Offering registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of
    the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in
    force) if such rule or rules are available or (c) subject to the conditions
    specified in Section 3A(ii) below, any other legally available means of
    transfer.

         (ii) In connection with the transfer of any Investor Stock (other than
    a transfer described in Section 3A(i)(a) or (b) above), the holder thereof
    shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail
    the transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of counsel which
    (to the Company's reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities
    law matters to the effect that such transfer of Investor Stock may be
    effected without registration of such Investor Stock under the Securities
    Act. In addition, if the holder of the Investor Stock delivers to the
    Company an opinion of counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Investor
    Stock shall require registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall
    promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new certificates for such
    Investor Stock which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in
    Section 4A hereof. If the Company is not required to deliver

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>
 
    new certificates for such Investor Stock not bearing such legend, the holder
    thereof shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee has
    confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the
    conditions contained in this Section and Section 4A hereof.

         (iii) Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly
    supply to the Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information
    regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a transfer
    pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

         (iv) Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Investor Stock in
    violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company
    shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported
    transferee of such Investor Stock as the owner of such Investor Stock for
    any purpose. 

         3B. Sale Notice Prior to making any Transfer of Investor Stock,
Purchaser will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company and GTCR.
                                         -----------
The Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the number of shares to be
transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and, if known,
the identity of the prospective transferee(s). Purchaser will not consummate any
such Transfer until 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company
and to GTCR, unless the parties to the Transfer have been fully determined
pursuant to this Section 3B and Sections 3C and 3D prior to the expiration of
such 60-day period. (The date of the first to occur of such events is referred
to herein as the "Authorization Date.")
                  ------------------
         3C. First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but
not less than all) of the shares of Investor Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Purchaser and GTCR within 30 days after the
Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not elected to
purchase all of the Investor Stock to be transferred, GTCR may elect to purchase
all (but not less than all) of the Investor Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving
written notice of such election to Purchaser within 60 days after the Sale
Notice has been given to GTCR. If neither the Company nor GTCR elect to purchase
all of the

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Purchaser may transfer
the shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on
terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale
Notice during the 30-day period immediately following the Authorization Date.
Any shares of Investor Stock not transferred within such 30-day period will be
subject to the provisions of this Section 3C upon subsequent transfer.

         3D. Co-Sale Rights.
             ---------------

         (i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by
    delivering written notice to Purchaser within 90 days after delivery of the
    Sale Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to participate in such Transfer,
    Purchaser and GTCR shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer,
    on the same terms and at the price calculated pursuant to subparagraph
    3D(ii) below, a number of shares equal to the product of (x) the quotient
    determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such
    person by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by Purchaser
    and GTCR and (y) the number of shares to be sold in the contemplated
    Transfer.

    For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares by
    -----------
    Purchaser, and if Purchaser was at such time the owner of 30% of the
    Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected to
    participate and GTCR owned 20% of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully-
    diluted basis), Purchaser would be entitled to sell 60 shares (30% / 50% x
    100 shares) and GTCR would be entitled to sell 40 shares (20% / 50% x 100
    shares).

    Purchaser will use its best efforts to obtain the agreement of the
    prospective transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in the contemplated
    transfer and will not transfer any Investor Stock to the prospective
    transferee(s) if such transferee(s) refuses to allow the participation of
    GTCR.

         (ii) The purchase price to be paid by any transferee for shares of
    Class A Common transferred in accordance with this paragraph 3D shall be
    equal to the amount per share of Class A Common which such transferee has
    agreed to pay to Purchaser.

         Section 4. Additional Restrictions on Transfer of Investor Stock.
                    -----------------------------------------------------
         4A. Legend. The Purchaser hereby represents that it is acquiring the

Investor Stock purchased hereunder or acquired pursuant hereto for its own
account with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of
investment, and that it has no intention of selling such securities in a public
distribution in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state
securities laws; provided that nothing contained herein shall prevent the
Purchaser and subsequent holders of Investor Stock from transferring such
securities in compliance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof. Each
certificate for Investor Stock shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:

         "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED
         AS OF JANUARY 31, 1995, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
         ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
         IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR
         AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
         BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON
         TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTOR PURCHASE
         AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN INVESTORS, DATED AS OF 
         JANUARY 31, 1995. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE
         HOLDER HEREOF AT THE ISSUER'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT
         CHARGE."

         4B. Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Investor Stock may sell, transfer
             ------------------
or dispose of any Investor Stock (except pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Company an
opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company)
that (i) neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such transfer or
(ii) all such applicable registration and qualification requirements have been
satisfied.

             books or treat any purported transferee of such Investor Stock
             as the owner of such Investor Stock for any purpose.

      such 30-day period will be subject to the provisions of this Section 3C
      upon subsequent transfer.

             3D. Co-Sale Rights.
                 ---------------

             (i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated
            Transfer by delivering written notice to Purchaser within 90
            days after delivery of the Sale Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has
            elected to participate in such Transfer, Purchaser and GTCR
            shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, on the
            same terms and at the price calculated pursuant to sub-
            paragraph 3D(ii) below, a number of shares equal to the
            product of (x) the quotient determined by dividing the number
            of shares of Common Stock owned by such person by the
            aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by Purchaser
            and GTCR and (y) the number of shares to be sold in the
            contemplated Transfer.
   
            For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of
            -----------                                          
            100 shares by Purchaser, and if Purchaser was at such time the
            owner of 30% of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted
            basis) and if GTCR elected to participate and GTCR owned 20%
            of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis),
            Purchaser would be entitled to sell 60 shares (30% / 50% x 100
            shares) and GTCR would be entitled to sell 40 shares (20% /
            50% x 100 shares).

            Purchaser will use its best efforts to obtain the agreement of
            the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in
            the contemplated transfer and will not transfer any Investor

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
 
     Stock to the prospective transferee(s) if such transferee(s) refuses to
     allow the participation of GTCR.

          (ii) The purchase price to be paid by any transferee for shares of
     Class A Common transferred in accordance with this paragraph 3D shall be
     equal to the amount per share of Class A Common which such transferee has
     agreed to pay to Purchaser.

             holders.

                       6J. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
                           ------------------------------------------

        Section 2. Representations and Warranties.
                   ------------------------------ 
        2A. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. In connection with the
            -------------------------------------------
issuance of the Investor Stock hereunder, Purchaser and Kerrigan represent and
warrant to the Company that, in each case, as of the Closing:
        
        (i) The Class A Common Stock to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant to
    this Agreement will be acquired for Purchaser's own account and not with a
    view to, or intention of,

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>
 
    distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable
    state securities laws, and such Class A Common Stock will not be disposed of
    in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
    laws.
         
        (ii) Kerrigan and Maureen W. Kerrigan ("Spouse") are the sole
                                                ------
    shareholders of MCS, with Kerrigan owning of record and beneficially 200
    shares of common stock owning of record and beneficially 200 shares of
    commom, each free and clear of all liens, claims, charges, encumbrances,
    voting agreements or restrictions of any kind. There are no options,
    warrants, convertible securities or rights to acquire shares of MCS
    outstanding and there are no agreements or arrangements to issue any of
    the foregoing. MCS has conducted no business other than holding investment
    securities and has no material liabilities.

        (iii) Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in
    such Class A Common Stock for an indefinite period of time, and Purchaser
    acknowledges that such Class A Common Stock has not been registered under
    the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently
    registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration
    is available.

        (iv) Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
    answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of such Class A
    Common Stock and has had full access to such other information concerning
    the Company as it has requested.

        (v) This Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration
    Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser or
    Kerrigan, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with their terms,
    and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
    Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Agreement by Purchaser or
    Kerrigan, as the case may be, does not and will not conflict with, violate
    or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which
    Purchaser or Kerrigan is a party or any law, rule, regulation, judgment,
    order or decree to which Purchaser is subject.

        features, nor shall it have outstanding any rights or options to

        rights or rights of refusal with respect to the issuance of the Common

        Agreement. The Company has not violated any applicable federal or state
        securities laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of
        its capital stock, and the offer, sale and issuance of the Common Stock
        pursuant to this Agreement do not and will not require registration
        under the Securities Act.

        (iii) Conduct of Business; Liabilities. Other than in the course of the

        Section 3. Restrictions on Transfer.
                   ------------------------ 

        3A. Transfer of Investor Stock.
            -------------------------- 

        (i) Subject to the restrictions set forth in the remainder of this
    Section 3, Investor Stock is transferable only pursuant to (a) a Public
    Offering registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of
    the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in
    force) if such rule or rules are available or (c) subject to the conditions
    specified in Section 3A(ii) below, any other legally available means of
    transfer.
             
        (ii) In connection with the transfer of any Investor Stock (other than a
    transfer described in Section 3A(i)(a) or (b) above), the holder thereof
    shall deliver written notice to

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>
 
    the Company describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed
    transfer, together with an opinion of counsel which (to the Company's
    reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to the
    effect that such transfer of Investor Stock may be effected without
    registration of such Investor Stock under the Securities Act. In addition,
    if the holder of the Investor Stock delivers to the Company an opinion of
    counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Investor Stock shall require
    registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon such
    contemplated transfer deliver new certificates for such Investor Stock which
    do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 4A hereof. If the
    Company is not required to deliver new certificates for such Investor Stock
    not bearing such legend, the holder thereof shall not transfer the same
    until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing its
    agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section and
    Section 4A hereof.

          (iii) Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly
    supply to the Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information
    regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a transfer
    pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          (iv) Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Investor Stock in
    violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company
    shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported
    transferee of such Investor Stock as the owner of such Investor Stock for
    any purpose.

         3B. Sale Notice.  Prior to making any direct or indirect Transfer of
             -----------                                                   
Investor Stock, including but not limited to, by transfer of any interest in any
of the Purchaser's securities, Purchaser will give written notice (the "Sale
                                                                        ----

detail the number of shares to be transferred and the terms and conditions of
the proposed Transfer and, if known, the identity of the prospective
transferee(s). Purchaser will not consummate any such Transfer until 60 days
after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company and to GTCR, unless the
parties to the Transfer have been fully determined pursuant to this Section 3B
and Sections 3C and 3D prior to the expiration of such 60-day period. (The date
of

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
the first to occur of such events is referred to herein as the "Authorization
                                                                -------------

        3C. First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but not
            --------------------
less than all) of the shares of Investor Stock to be transferred upon the same
terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Purchaser and GTCR within 30 days after the
Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not elected to
purchase all of the Investor Stock to be transferred, GTCR may elect to purchase
all (but not less than all) of the Investor Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving
written notice of such election to Purchaser within 60 days after the Sale
Notice has been given to GTCR. If neither the Company nor GTCR elect to purchase
all of the shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Purchaser may
transfer the shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price
and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in
the Sale Notice during the 30-day period immediately following the Authorization
Date. Any shares of Investor Stock not transferred within such 30-day period
will be subject to the provisions of this Section 3C upon subsequent transfer.

        3D. Co-Sale Rights.
            ---------------
        (i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by
    delivering written notice to Purchaser within 90 days after delivery of the
    Sale Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to participate in such Transfer,
    Purchaser and GTCR shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer,
    on the same terms and at the price calculated pursuant to sub-paragraph
    3D(ii) below, a number of shares equal to the product of (x) the quotient
    determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such
    person by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by Purchaser
    and GTCR and (y) the number of shares to be sold in the contemplated
    Transfer.

    For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares by
    -----------
    Purchaser, and if Purchaser was at such time the owner of 30% of the
    Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected to
    participate and GTCR owned 20%

                                     - 7 -

            -------------------------------------------    
the issuance of the Investor Stock hereunder, Purchaser represents and warrants
to the Company that, in each case, as of the Closing:


        (i) The Class A Common Stock to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant to

    state securities laws.

         (ii) Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in
    such Class A Common Stock for an indefinite period of time, and Purchaser

    concerning the Company as it has requested.


         (iv) This Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration
    Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser,
    enforceable in accordance with their terms, and the execution, delivery and
    performance of this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the

    violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which

         (iii) Conduct of Business; Liabilities. Other than in the course of

          Section 3. Restrictions on Transfer.
                     ------------------------ 
          3A. Transfer of Investor Stock.
              -------------------------- 

         (i) Subject to the restrictions set forth in the remainder of this
    Section 3, Investor Stock is transferable only pursuant to (a) a Public
    Offering registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of
    the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in
    force) if such rule or rules are available or (c) subject to the
    conditions specified in Section 3A(ii) below, any other legally available
    means of transfer.

         (ii) In connection with the transfer of any Investor Stock (other than
    a transfer described in Section 3A(i)(a) or (b) above), the holder thereof
    shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail
    the transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of counsel which
    (to the Company's reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities
    law matters to the effect that such transfer of Investor Stock may be
    effected without registration of such Investor Stock under the Securities
    Act. In addition, if the holder of the Investor Stock delivers to the
    Company an opinion of counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Investor
    Stock shall require registration under the Securities Act, the Company
    shall promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new certificates for
    such Investor Stock which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in
    Section 4A hereof. If the Company is not required to deliver

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>
 
     new certificates for such Investor Stock not bearing such legend, the
     holder thereof shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee
     has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the
     conditions contained in this Section and Section 4A hereof.

          (iii) Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly
     supply to the Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information
     regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a
     transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          (iv) Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Investor Stock in
     violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company
     shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported
     transferee of such Investor Stock as the owner of such Investor Stock for
     any purpose.

          3B. Sale Notice. Prior to making any Transfer of Investor Stock,
              -----------                                                
Purchaser will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company and GTCR.
                                         -----------                           
The Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the number of shares to be
transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and, if known,
the identity of the prospective transferee(s). Purchaser will not consummate any
such Transfer until 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company
and to GTCR, unless the parties to the Transfer have been fully determined
pursuant to this Section 3B and Sections 3C and 3D prior to the expiration of
such 60-day period. (The date of the first to occur of such events is referred
to herein as the "Authorization Date.")
                  ------------------

          3C. First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but
              ---------------------                                           
not less than all) of the shares of Investor Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Purchaser and GTCR within 30 days after the
Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not elected to
purchase all of the Investor Stock to be transferred, GTCR may elect to purchase
all (but not less than all) of the Investor Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving
written notice of such election to Purchaser within 60 days after the Sale
Notice has been given to GTCR. If neither the Company nor GTCR elect to purchase
all of the

                                      - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Purchaser may transfer
the shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on
terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale
Notice during the 30-day period immediately following the Authorization Date.
Any shares of Investor Stock not transferred within such 30-day period will be
subject to the provisions of this Section 3C upon subsequent transfer.

    3D. Co-Sale Rights.
        -------------- 
 
         (i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by
    delivering written notice to Purchaser within 90 days after delivery of
    the Sale Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to participate in such
    Transfer, Purchaser and GTCR shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated
    Transfer, on the same terms and at the price calculated pursuant to sub
    paragraph 3D(ii) below, a number of shares equal to the product of (x) the
    quotient determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock owned
    by such person by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by
    Purchaser and GTCR and (y) the number of shares to be sold in the
    contemplated Transfer.

    For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares
    -----------
    by Purchaser, and if Purchaser was at such time the owner of 30% of the
    Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected to
    participate and GTCR owned 20% of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully-
    diluted basis), Purchaser would be entitled to sell 60 shares (30% / 50% x
    100 shares) and GTCR would be entitled to sell 40 shares (20% / 50% x 100
    shares).

          Purchaser will use its best efforts to obtain the agreement of the
    prospective transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in the contemplated
    transfer and will not transfer any Investor Stock to the prospective
    transferee(s) if such transferee(s) refuses to allow the participation of
    GTCR.

    (ii) The purchase price to be paid by any transferee for shares of Class A
    Common transferred in accordance with this paragraph 3D shall be equal to
    the amount per share of Class A Common which such transferee has agreed to
    pay to Purchaser.

<PAGE>
 
opinion of counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Investor Stock shall
require registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon
such contemplated transfer deliver new certificates for such Investor Stock
which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 4A hereof. If
the Company is not required to deliver new certificates for such Investor Stock
not bearing such legend, the holder thereof shall not transfer the same until
the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement
to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section and Section 4A hereof.

  (iii) Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly supply to
the Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information regarding the

any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record
such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Investor
Stock as the owner of such Investor Stock for any purpose.

give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company and GTCR. The Sale Notice
                          -----------                                           
will disclose in reasonable detail the number of shares to be transferred and
the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and, if known, the identity of
the prospective transferee(s). Purchaser will not consummate any such Transfer
until 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company and to GTCR,
unless the parties to the Transfer have been fully determined pursuant to this
Section 3B and Section 3C prior to the expiration of such 60-day period. (The
date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein as the
"Authorization Date.")
 ------------------

Sale Notice

of the Investor Stock to be transferred, GTCR may elect to purchase all (but not
less than all) of the Investor Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and
conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving written notice of
such election to Purchaser within 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given
to GTCR. If neither the Company nor GTCR elect to purchase all of the shares of
Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Purchaser may transfer the shares
of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more
favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during
the 180-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any shares of
Investor Stock not transferred within such 180-day period will be subject to the
provisions of this Section 3C upon subsequent transfer.

  3D. Transfers in Connection with Transfers of Term Loan C. The provisions of
      -----------------------------------------------------
Sections 3B and 3C shall not apply to any Transfer of Investor Stock by
Purchaser to the transferee of a portion of the Term Loan C then held by
Purchaser in an amount not to exceed the product of (i) the number of shares of
Investor Stock purchased by Purchaser hereunder multiplied by (ii) the quotient
                                                -------------

divided by (b) the amount of Term Loan C held by Purchaser on the date thereof;
- ----------                                                                     
provided that such transferee shall agree to be bound by all of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement as if it were a
party hereto and thereto.

  For purposes of this Section 3D; "Term Loan C" means Term Loan C as defined in
                                    -----------

Section 3, Investor Stock is transferable only pursuant to (a) a Public Offering
registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in force) if such
rule or rules are available or (c) subject to the conditions specified in
Section 3A(ii) below, any other legally available means of transfer.

        (ii) In connection with the transfer of any Investor Stock (other than a

deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the
transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of counsel which (to the
Company's reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to
the effect that such transfer of Investor Stock may be effected without
registration of such Investor Stock under the Securities Act. In addition, if
the holder of the Investor Stock delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel
that no subsequent transfer of such Investor Stock shall require registration
under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon such contemplated
transfer deliver new certificates for such Investor Stock which do not bear the
Securities Act legend set forth in Section 4A hereof. If the Company is not
required to deliver

<PAGE>
 
     new certificates for such Investor Stock not bearing such legend the
     holder thereof shall not transfer the same until the prospective
     transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be
     bound by the conditions contained in this Section and Section 4A hereof.

       (iii) Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly
     supply to the Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information
     regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a
     transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        (iv) Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Investor Stock in
     violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company
     shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported
     transferee of such Investor Stock as the owner of such Investor Stock for
     any purpose.

           3B. Sale Notice. Prior to making any Transfer of Investor Stock,
               -----------
Purchaser will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company and GTCR.

such 60-day period. (The date of the first to occur of such events is referred

delivering a written notice of such election to Purchaser and GTCR within 30
days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not
elected to purchase all of the Investor Stock to be transferred, GTCR may elect
to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Investor Stock to be transferred
upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by
giving written notice of such election to Purchaser within 60 days after the
Sale Notice has been given to GTCR. If neither the Company nor GTCR elect to
purchase all of the

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Purchaser may transfer
the shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on
terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale
Notice during the 180-day period immediately following the Authorization Date.
Any shares of Investor Stock not transferred within such 180-day period will be
subject to the provisions of this Section 3C upon subsequent transfer.

  (i) Subject to the restrictions set forth in the remainder of this Section 3,
Investor Stock is transferable only pursuant to (a) a Public Offering registered
under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in force) if such rule or
rules are available or (c) subject to the conditions specified in Section 3A 
(ii) below, any other legally available means of transfer.

  (ii) In connection with the transfer of any Investor Stock (other than a
transfer described in Section 3A(i)(a) or (b) above), the holder thereof shall
deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the
transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of counsel which (to the
Company's reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to
the effect that such transfer of Investor Stock may be effected without
registration of such Investor Stock under the Securities Act. In addition, if
the holder of the Investor Stock delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel
that no subsequent transfer of such Investor Stock shall require registration
under the Securities

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>
 
Act, the Company shall promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new
certificates for such Investor Stock which do not bear the Securities Act legend
set forth in Section 4A hereof. If the Company is not required to deliver new
certificates for such Investor Stock not bearing such legend, the holder thereof
shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to
the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in
this Section and Section 4A hereof.

         (iii) Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly
supply to the Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information regarding
the Company required to be delivered in connection with a transfer pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         (iv) Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Investor Stock in
violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company
shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of
such Investor Stock as the owner of such Investor Stock for any purpose.

         3B. Sale Notice Prior to making any Transfer of Investor Stock, 
             -----------
Purchaser will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company and GTCR.
                                         -----------
The Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the number of shares to be
transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and, if known,
the identity of the prospective transferee(s). Purchaser will not consummate any
such Transfer until 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company
and to GTCR, unless the parties to the Transfer have been fully determined
pursuant to this Section 3B and Section 3C prior to the expiration of such 60-
day period. (The date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein
as the "Authorization Date.")
        ------------------

         3C. First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but

not less than all) of the shares of Investor Stock to be transferred upon the 
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Purchaser and GTCR within 30 days after the
Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not elected to
purchase all of the Investor Stock to be transferred, GTCR may

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Investor Stock to be
transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale
Notice by giving written notice of such election to Purchaser within 60 days
after the Sale Notice has been given to GTCR. If neither the Company nor GTCR
elect to purchase all of the shares of Investor Stock specified in the Sale
Notice, Purchaser may transfer the shares of Investor Stock specified in the
Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s)
thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 180-day period immediately
following the Authorization Date. Any shares of Investor Stock not transferred
within such 180-day period will be subject to the provisions of this Section 3C
upon subsequent transfer.

  3D. Transfers in Connection with Transfers of Term Loan C. The provisions of
      -----------------------------------------------------
Sections 3B and 3C shall not apply to any Transfer of Investor Stock by
Purchaser to the transferee of a portion of the Term Loan C then held by
Purchaser in an amount not to exceed the product of (i) the number of shares of
Investor Stock purchased by Purchaser hereunder multiplied by (ii) the quotient
                                                -------------
of (a) the amount of Term Loan C transferred by Purchaser to such transferee

party hereto and thereto.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 4(b) below,
20% of the Executive Stock will be deemed "Vested Shares" as of the
date of Closing and the remainder of the Executive Stock will become
vested in accordance with the following schedule, if as of each such
date Executive is still employed by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries:

                                           Cumulative
        Anniversary of               Percentage of Executive
     the Date of Closing                  Stock Vested
     -------------------             -----------------------

             1st                                 40
             2nd                                 60
             3rd                                 80
             4th                                100

person, or group of related persons not affiliated with GTCR, owning equity
securities of the Company possessing the power to elect (without reference to
any special or default voting rights) a majority of the members of the Board or
(ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, all Unvested
Shares will become Vested Shares.

       5. Repurchase Option.
          ----------------- 

          (a) In the event Executive violates Paragraph 10(a) of this Agreement
(a "Noncompete Breach"), or in the event Executive's employment by the Company
    -----------------
and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (a "Termination"), the Executive
                                                   -----------                 
Call Stock (whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive's transferees,
other than the Company or GTCR) will be subject to repurchase by the Company
first, Management second and GTCR third pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this paragraph 5 (the "Repurchase Option").
                                -----------------

          (b) If the Repurchase Option becomes exercisable because of a
Noncompete Breach or a Termination resulting from the Company's termination of
Executive's employment for Cause, then, the purchase price for each share of
                                  ----
Executive Call Stock will be the lower of (a) Executive's Original Cost for such
share or (b) the Fair Market Value of such share. If Executive's employment
terminates other than as described in the preceding sentence, the purchase price
for each (i) Unvested Share shall be Executive's Original Cost for such share,
and (ii) Vested Share shall be the Fair Market Value of such share as of the
date of the related Repurchase Notice or Investor Notice (as hereinafter
defined), as the case may be.

          (c) The Company may, at the option of the Board, elect to purchase all
or any portion of the Executive Call Stock from time to time by delivering
written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to Management, GTCR and the holder or
                     -----------------                                        
holders of such Executive Call Stock from time to time during the 270 days after
the Noncompete Breach or Termination, as the case may be. The Repurchase Notice
will set forth the number of shares of Executive Call Stock, including the
number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares, to be acquired from the recipient
holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and the time and
place for the closing of the transaction.

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
          (d) If for any reason the Company has not elected to
purchase all of the Executive Call Stock pursuant to the Repurchase
Option, Management shall be entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option
for any or all of the shares of Executive Call Stock, including the
Unvested Shares and the Vested Shares, the Company has not yet elected
to purchase (the "Available Shares"), by giving written notice to the
                  ----------------
Company and the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be repurchased
during the 30 days after the date of delivery to Management of the
Repurchase Notice (the "Management Notice") setting forth the number
                        -----------------                           
of Available Shares each Manager is willing to purchase. If the
Managers elect to purchase an aggregate number of shares greater than
the number of Available Shares, the Available Shares shall be
allocated among the Managers pro rata based on the number of shares of
Common Stock owned by each Manager. As soon as practicable, and in any
event, within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day period set
forth above, the Company shall notify the holder(s) of the Available
Shares and GTCR as to the number of shares being purchased from such
holder(s) by Management (the "Supplemental Repurchase Notice"). At the
                              ------------------------------
time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the
holder(s) of the Available Shares, the Company shall also deliver
written notice to each Manager and GTCR setting forth the number of
shares such Manager is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase
price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction and, in
the notice to GTCR, a statement of the number, type and purchase price
of Available Shares available for purchase by GTCR.

          (e) If for any reason Management has not elected to purchase
any or all of the Available Shares pursuant to paragraph 5(d) above,
GTCR may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Shares not
purchased by Management by giving written notice to the holder(s) of
the Available Shares to be repurchased within 30 days after the date
of delivery to GTCR of the Supplemental Repurchase Notice (the
"Investor Repurchase Notice") setting forth the number of Available
- ---------------------------                                        
Shares GTCR is willing to purchase.

          (f) Each closing of the purchase of the Executive Call Stock
pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date
designated by the Company, Management or GTCR in the related
Repurchase Notice, Supplemental Repurchase Notice, or Investor
Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, but in any event not later than
365 days after the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination. At
such closing, Executive shall deliver to the

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
 
Company, Management and/or GTCR certificates representing the
Executive Stock to be repurchased by the Company, Management and/or
GTCR and the Company, Management and/or GTCR, as the case may be, will
pay for the Executive Call Stock to be purchased pursuant to the
Repurchase Option in the following manner:

          (i) In the event that no Event of Default has occurred and
     is continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or
     Termination, payment for the Executive Call Stock to be purchased
     shall be made by delivery to Executive of a cashier's or
     certified check or wire transfer of funds in the amount of one-
     half of the purchase price of the Executive Call Stock on the
     date of the closing of the Repurchase Option. Payment for the
     remaining one-half of the purchase price shall be made by
     delivery of a promissory note of the purchaser, with an aggregate
     principal amount equal to one-half of the purchase price of the
     Executive Stock to be repurchased, payable in one lump sum
     payment on the second anniversary of the date of issuance and
     bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

          (ii) In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and
     is continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or
     Termination, payment for the Executive Call Stock to be purchased
     shall be made by delivery of a promissory note of the purchaser,
     with an aggregate principal amount equal to the total purchase
     price of the Executive Call Stock to be repurchased, payable in
     one lump sum payment on the fifth anniversary of the date of
     issuance and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum

Any such note issued by the Company pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and
(ii) above shall be junior and subordinated in right of payment to all
indebtedness of the Company (for borrowed money or otherwise). In
addition, the Company may pay the total purchase price for such shares
by offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by
Executive to the Company. The Company, Management and GTCR will be
entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the
sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers'
signatures be guaranteed.

          (g) If within six months following the repurchase of
Executive Call Stock pursuant to paragraph 5(f) above, (i) a Sale

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>
 
of the Company or a Public Offering of the Company's Common Stock
registered under the Securities Act occurs and (ii) the valuation of a
share of Common Stock for such transaction (based upon the purchase
price or liquidation proceeds per share of Common Stock or the Public
Offering price per share of Common Stock, but reduced by any
preferential amounts available to any of the classes of Common Stock)
exceeds the amounts per share received by the holder(s) of Executive
Call Stock upon the repurchase of Vested Shares, then such holder(s)
of Executive Call Stock shall be entitled to receive from the Company
the benefit of such higher valuation for the Vested Shares of
Executive Call Stock sold under the Repurchase Option. The excess of
(x) the amount which the holder(s) of Executive Call Stock would have
received in such Sale of the Company or Public Offering assuming the
sale of their Vested Shares of Executive Call Stock purchased by
exercise of the Repurchase Option in connection with such transaction,
over (y) the purchase price of the Vested Shares of Executive Call
Stock paid to Executive under the Repurchase Option, shall be paid by
certified check or cashier's check or wire transfer of funds to each
such holder upon consummation of any such transaction. For purposes of
this paragraph 5(g), "Sale" means the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company or a sale of the Company's equity
securities which results in any person, or group of related persons,
owning equity securities of the Company possessing the power to elect
(without reference to any special or default voting rights) a majority
of the members of the Board, including any such sale accomplished by
merger or consolidation.

          6. Restrictions on Transfer.
             ------------------------ 

          (a) Transfer of Executive Stock. On or prior to the

Agreement. Prior to effecting any Transfer of Executive Stock (other

<PAGE>
 
          (b) Sale Notice     After the Restriction Lapse Date,
              -----------                                  
prior to making any Transfer, Executive will give written notice
(the "Sale Notice") to the company, each manager and GTCR. The
      -----------                                             
Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the number of shares
to be transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed
Transfer and, if known, the identity of the prospective
transferee(s). Executive will not consummate any such Transfer
until 90 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company,
Management and GTCR, unless the parties to the Transfer have been
fully determined pursuant to this paragraph 6(b) and paragraphs
6(c) and 6(d) prior to the expiration of such 90-day period. (The
date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein as
the "Authorization Date.")
     ------------------

          (c) First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to
              ---------------------                         
purchase all (but not less than all) of the shares of Executive
Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those
set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a written notice of such
election to Executive, each Manager and GTCR within 30 days after
the Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has
not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be
transferred, Management may elect to purchase all (but not less
than all) of the Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same
terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by
giving written notice of such election to Executive, the Company
and GTCR within 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to
Management. Management's rights hereunder shall be allocated among
the Managers pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock
owned by each Manager. If the Company and Management have not
elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be transferred,
GTCR may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and
conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving written
notice of such election to Executive, the Company and each Manager
within 90 days after the Sale Notice has been given to GTCR. If,
the Company, Management or GTCR do not elect to purchase all of the
shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Executive
may transfer the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale
Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the
transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the
30-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any
shares of Executive Stock not transferred within such 30-day period

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>
 
will be subject to the provisions of this paragraph 6(c) upon subsequent
transfer.

          (d) Co-Sale Rights.
              -------------- 

          (i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer
     by delivering written notice to Executive within 90 days after
     delivery of the Sale Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to
     participate in such Transfer, Executive and GTCR shall be entitled
     to sell in the contemplated Transfer, on the same terms and at the
     price calculated pursuant to subparagraph 6(d)(ii) below, a number
     of shares equal to the product of (x) the quotient determined by
     dividing the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such person
     by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by Executive
     and GTCR and (y) the number of shares to be sold in the contemplated
     Transfer.

     For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares by
     -----------                                                         
     Executive, and if Executive was at such time the owner of 30% of the
     Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected 
     to participate and GTCR owned 20% of the Company's Common Stock (on a 
     fully-diluted basis), Executive would be entitled to sell 60 shares 
     (30% / 50% x 100 shares) and GTCR would be entitled to sell 40 shares 
     (20% / 50% x 100 shares).

     Executive will use his best efforts to obtain the agreement of the
     prospective transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in the
     contemplated transfer and will not transfer any Executive Stock to
     the prospective transferee(s) if such transferee(s) refuses to allow
     the participation of GTCR.

          (ii) The purchase price to be paid by any transferee for shares
     of Class B Common and Class A Common transferred in accordance with
     this paragraph 6(d) shall be determined as follows: (i) the price
     per share to be paid for Class B Common included in such Transfer
     shall be equal to the amount per share of Class B Common which such
     transferee has agreed to pay to Executive and (ii) the price per
     share to be paid for Class A Common included in such Transfer shall
     be the price per share described in clause (i) plus the quotient
                                                    ----
     (the "Per Share Preference") of (A) the sum of the Unreturned

    Amount and the Unpaid Yield of the Class A Common at such time divided by
                                                                   ----------
    (B) the number of shares of Class A Common then outstanding.

          (e) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this paragraph
              -------------------                                              
6 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Executive Stock pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution or among such Executive and such
Executive's Family Members; provided that such restrictions will continue to be
applicable to the Executive Stock after any such transfer and the transferees of
such Executive Stock have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement.

          (f) Pledges. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6,
              -------                                                    
Executive may pledge any shares of Executive Stock to the Company to secure
payment of the Executive Note.

             4. Vesting of Executive Stock.
                -------------------------- 

             (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 4(b) below, 20% of
the Executive Stock will be deemed "Vested Shares" as of the date of Closing and
the remainder of the Executive Stock will become vested in accordance with the
following schedule, if as of each such date Executive is still employed by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries:


                                                 Cumulative
         Anniversary of                    Percentage of Executive
       the Date of Closing                       Stock Vested
       -------------------                 -----------------------

              1st                                      40
              2nd                                      60
              3rd                                      80
              4th                                     100

Any shares of Executive Stock which do not become Vested Shares under the
foregoing provisions will remain "Unvested Shares."

             (b) If Executive ceases to be employed by the Company and its
Subsidiaries on any date other than any anniversary date, the cumulative
percentage of Executive Stock to become vested will

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
be determined on a pro-rata basis according to the number of days elapsed since
the prior anniversary date. Immediately prior to the closing of (i) any sale of
the Company's equity securities which results in any person, or group of related
persons not affiliated with GTCR, owning equity securities of the Company
possessing the power to elect (without reference to any special or default
voting rights) a majority of the members of the Board or (ii) a sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets, all Unvested Shares will become
Vested Shares.

             5. Repurchase Option.
                ----------------- 

             (a) In the event Executive violates paragraph 10(a) of this
Agreement (a "Noncompete Breach"), or in the event Executive's employment by the
              -----------------
Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (a "Termination"), the
                                                           -----------
Executive Call Stock (whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive's
transferees, other than the Company or GTCR) will be subject to repurchase by
the Company first, Management second and GTCR third pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in this paragraph 5 (the "Repurchase Option").
                                               ----------------- 

             (b) If the Repurchase Option becomes exercisable because of a
Noncompete Breach or a Termination resulting from the Company's termination of
Executive's employment for Cause, then, the purchase price for each share of
                                  ----
Executive Call Stock will be the lower of (a) Executive's Original Cost for such
share or (b) the Fair Market Value of such share. If Executive's employment
terminates other than as described in the preceding sentence, the purchase price
for each (i) Unvested Share shall be Executive's Original Cost for such share,
and (ii) Vested Share shall be the Fair Market Value of such share as of the
date of the related Repurchase Notice or Investor Notice (as hereinafter
defined), as the case may be.

             (c) The Company may, at the option of the Board, elect to purchase
all or any portion of the Executive Call Stock from time to time by delivering
written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to Management, GTCR and the holder or
                     -----------------
holders of such Executive Call Stock from time to time during the 270 days after
the Noncompete Breach or Termination, as the case may be. The Repurchase Notice
will set forth the number of shares of Executive Call Stock, including the
number of Unvested Shares and Vested

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
Shares, to be acquired from the recipient holder, the aggregate consideration to
be paid for such shares and the time and place for the closing of the
transaction.

          (d) If for any reason the Company has not elected to purchase all of
the Executive Call Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option, Management shall be
entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for any or all of the shares of
Executive Call Stock, including the Unvested Shares and the Vested Shares, the
Company has not yet elected to purchase (the "Available Shares"), by giving
                                              ----------------  
written notice to the Company and the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be
repurchased during the 30 days after the date of delivery to Management of the
Repurchase Notice (the "Management Notice") setting forth the number of
                        -----------------
Available Shares each Manager is willing to purchase. If the Managers elect to
purchase an aggregate number of shares greater than the number of Available
Shares, the Available Shares shall be allocated among the Managers pro rata
based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Manager. As soon as
practicable, and in any event, within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day
period set forth above, the Company shall notify the holder(s) of the Available
Shares and GTCR as to the number of shares being purchased from such holder(s)
by Management (the "Supplemental Repurchase Notice"). At the time the Company
                    ------------------------------
delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the holder(s) of the Available
Shares, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Manager and GTCR
setting forth the number of shares such Manager is entitled to purchase, the
aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the
transaction and, in the notice to GTCR, a statement of the number, type and
purchase price of Available Shares available for purchase by GTCR.

          (e) If for any reason Management has not elected to purchase any or
all of the Available Shares pursuant to paragraph 5(d) above, GTCR may elect to
purchase any or all of the Available Shares not purchased by Management by
giving written notice to the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be repurchased
within 30 days after the date of delivery to GTCR of the Supplemental Repurchase
Notice (the "Investor Repurchase Notice") setting forth the number of Available
             --------------------------                                        
Shares GTCR is willing to purchase.

          (f) Each closing of the purchase of the Executive Call Stock pursuant
to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
date designated by the Company, Management or GTCR in the related Repurchase
Notice, Supplemental Repurchase Notice, or Investor Repurchase Notice, as the
case may be, but in any event not later than 365 days after the date of the
Noncompete Breach or Termination. At such closing, Executive shall deliver to
the Company, Management and/or GTCR certificates representing the Executive
Stock to be repurchased by the Company, Management and/or GTCR and the Company,
Management and/or GTCR, as the case may be, will pay for the Executive Call
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option in the following manner:

             (i) In the event that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination, payment for the
Executive Call Stock to be purchased shall be made by delivery to Executive of a
cashier's or certified check or wire transfer of funds in the amount of one-half
of the purchase price of the Executive Call Stock on the date of the closing of
the Repurchase Option. Payment for the remaining one-half of the purchase price
shall be made by delivery of a promissory note of the purchaser, with an
aggregate principal amount equal to one-half of the purchase price of the
Executive Stock to be repurchased, payable in one lump sum payment on the second
anniversary of the date of issuance and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per
annum.

             (ii) In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination, payment for the
Executive Call Stock to be purchased shall be made by delivery of a promissory
note of the purchaser, with an aggregate principal amount equal to the total
purchase price of the Executive Call Stock to be repurchased, payable in one
lump sum payment on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance and bearing
interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

Any such note issued by the Company pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above
shall be junior and subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of the
Company (for borrowed money or otherwise). In addition, the Company may pay the
total purchase price for such shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under any
bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company. The Company,

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
Management and GTCR will be entitled to receive customary representations and
warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers'
signatures be guaranteed.

          (g) If within six months following the repurchase of Executive Call
Stock pursuant to paragraph 5(f) above, (i) a Sale of the Company or a Public
Offering of the Company's Common Stock registered under the Securities Act
occurs and (ii) the valuation of a share of Common Stock for such transaction
(based upon the purchase price or liquidation proceeds per share of Common Stock
or the Public Offering price per share of Common Stock, but reduced by any
preferential amounts available to any of the classes of Common Stock) exceeds
the amounts per share received by the holder(s) of Executive Call Stock upon the
repurchase of Vested Shares, then such holder(s) of Executive Call Stock shall
be entitled to receive from the Company the benefit of such higher valuation for
the Vested Shares of Executive Call Stock sold under the Repurchase Option. The
excess of (x) the amount which the holder(s) of Executive Call Stock would have
received in such Sale of the Company or Public Offering assuming the sale of
their Vested Shares of Executive Call Stock purchased by exercise of the
Repurchase Option in connection with such transaction, over (y) the purchase
price of the Vested Shares of Executive Call Stock paid to Executive under the
Repurchase Option, shall be paid by certified check or cashier's check or wire
transfer of funds to each such holder upon consummation of any such transaction.
For purposes of this paragraph 5(g), "Sale" means the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or a sale of the Company's equity
securities which results in any person, or group of related persons, owning
equity securities of the Company possessing the power to elect (without
reference to any special or default voting rights) a majority of the members of
the Board, including any such sale accomplished by merger or consolidation.

          6. Restrictions on Transfer.

written agreement to be bound by the provisions of paragraph 6 of this Agreement
for the benefit of the Company, Management and GTCR.

         (b) Sale Notice.  After the Restriction Lapse Date, prior to making any
             -----------                                        
Transfer, Executive will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company,
                                                   -----------
each Manager and GTCR.  The Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the
number of shares to be transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed
Transfer and, if known, the identity of the prospective transferee(s). Executive
will not consummate any such Transfer until 90 days after the Sale Notice has
been given to the Company, Management and GTCR, unless the parties to the
Transfer have been fully determined pursuant to this paragraph 6(b) and
paragraphs 6(c) and 6(d) prior to the expiration of such 90-day period. (The
date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein as the
"Authorization Date.")
 ------------------

         (c) First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but
             --------------------
not less than all) of the shares of Executive Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Executive, each Manager and GTCR within 30
days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not
elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be transferred, Management may

transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale
Notice by giving written notice of such election to Executive, the Company and
GTCR within 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to Management.
Management's rights hereunder shall be allocated among the Managers pro rata
based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Manager. If the
Company and Management have not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock
to be transferred, GTCR may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those
set forth in the Sale Notice by giving written notice of such election to
Executive, the Company and each Manager

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
within 90 days after the Sale Notice has been given to GTCR. If, the Company,
Management or GTCR do not elect to purchase all of the shares of Executive Stock
specified in the Sale Notice, Executive may transfer the shares of Executive
Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to
the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 30-day
period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any shares of Executive
Stock not transferred within such 30-day period will be subject to the

    Executive and GTCR shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer,
    on the same terms and at the price calculated pursuant to subparagraph
    6(d)(ii) below, a number of shares equal to the product of (x) the quotient
    determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such
    person by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by Executive
    and GTCR and (y) the number of shares to be sold in the contemplated
    Transfer.

    For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares by 
    -----------                                               
    Executive, and if Executive was at such time the owner of 30% of the
    Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected to
    participate and GTCR owned 20% of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully-
    diluted basis), Executive would be entitled to sell 60 shares (30% - 50% x
    100 shares) and GTCR would be entitled to sell 40 shares (20% - 50% x 100
    shares).

    Executive will use his best efforts to obtain the agreement of the
    prospective transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in the contemplated
    transfer and will not transfer any Executive Stock to the prospective
    transferee(s) if such transferee(s) refuses to allow the participation of
    GTCR.

written agreement of the Company, Executive and GTCR. No other course of dealing
between the parties or third party beneficiaries hereof or any delay in

              ------------------------------------------     
and warranties contained herein or made in writing by any party in connection

       5. Repurchase Option.
          ----------------- 

          (a) In the event Executive violates paragraph 10(a) of this Agreement
(a "Noncompete Breach"), or in the event Executive's employment by the Company
    -----------------
and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (a "Termination"), the Executive
                                                   -----------
Call Stock (whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive's transferees,
other than the Company or GTCR) will be subject to repurchase by the Company
first, Management second and GTCR third pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this paragraph 5 (the "Repurchase Option").
                                -----------------

          (b) If the Repurchase Option becomes exercisable because of a
Noncompete Breach or a Termination resulting from the Company's termination of
Executive's employment for Cause, then, the purchase price for each share of
                                  ----
Executive Call Stock will be the lower of (a) Executive's Original Cost for such
share or (b) the Fair Market Value of such share. If Executive's employment

and (ii) Vested Share shall be the Fair Market Value of such share as of the

defined), as the case may be.

          (c) The Company may, at the option of the Board, elect to purchase all
or any portion of the Executive Call Stock from time to time by delivering
written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to Management, GTCR and the holder or
                     -----------------
holders of such Executive Call Stock from time to time during the 270 days after
the Noncompete Breach or Termination, as the case may be. The Repurchase Notice
will set forth the number of shares of Executive Call Stock, including the
number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares, to be acquired from the recipient
holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and the time and
place for the closing of the transaction.

<PAGE>
 

          (d) If for any reason the Company has not elected to purchase all of
the Executive Call Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option, Management shall be
entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for any or all of the shares of
Executive Call Stock, including the Unvested Shares and the Vested Shares, the
Company has not yet elected to purchase (the "Available Shares"), by giving
                                              ----------------
written notice to the Company and the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be
repurchased during the 30 days after the date of delivery to Management of the
Repurchase Notice (the "Management Notice") setting forth the number of
                        -----------------
Available Shares each Manager is willing to purchase. If the Managers elect to
purchase an aggregate number of shares greater than the number of Available
Shares, the Available Shares shall be allocated among the Managers pro rata
based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Manager. As soon as
practicable, and in any event, within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day
period set forth above, the Company shall notify the holder(s) of the Available
Shares and GTCR as to the number of shares being purchased from such holder(s)
by Management (the "Supplemental Repurchase Notice"). At the time the Company
                    ------------------------------
delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the holder(s) of the Available
Shares, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Manager and GTCR
setting forth the number of shares such Manager is entitled to purchase, the
aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the
transaction and, in the notice to GTCR, a statement of the number, type and
purchase price of Available Shares available for purchase by GTCR.

          (e) If for any reason Management has not elected to purchase any or
all of the Available Shares pursuant to paragraph 5(d) above, GTCR may elect to
purchase any or all of the Available Shares not purchased by Management by
giving written notice to the holder(s) of the Available Shares to be repurchased
within 30 days after the date of delivery to GTCR of the Supplemental Repurchase
Notice (the "Investor Repurchase Notice") setting forth the number of Available
             --------------------------
Shares GTCR is willing to purchase.

          (f) Each closing of the purchase of the Executive Call Stock pursuant
to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company,
Management or GTCR in the related Repurchase Notice, Supplemental Repurchase
Notice, or Investor Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, but in any event not
later than 365 days after the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination. At
such closing, Executive shall deliver to the

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
 
Company, Management and/or GTCR certificates representing the Executive Stock to
be repurchased by the Company, Management and/or GTCR and the Company,
Management and/or GTCR, as the case may be, will pay for the Executive Call
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option in the following manner:

         (i) In the event that no Event of Default has occurred and is
    continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination, payment for
    the Executive Call Stock to be purchased shall be made by delivery to
    Executive of a cashier's or certified check or wire transfer of funds in the
    amount of one-half of the purchase price of the Executive Call Stock on the
    date of the closing of the Repurchase Option. Payment for the remaining one-
    half of the purchase price shall be made by delivery of a promissory note of
    the purchaser, with an aggregate principal amount equal to one-half of the
    purchase price of the Executive Stock to be repurchased, payable in one lump
    sum payment on the second anniversary of the date of issuance and bearing
    interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

         (ii) In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is
    continuing on the date of the Noncompete Breach or Termination, payment for
    the Executive Call Stock to be purchased shall be made by delivery of a
    promissory note of the purchaser, with an aggregate principal amount equal
    to the total purchase price of the Executive Call Stock to be repurchased,
    payable in one lump sum payment on the fifth anniversary of the date of
    issuance and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

Any such note issued by the Company pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above
shall be junior and subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of the
Company (for borrowed money or otherwise). In addition, the Company may pay the
total purchase price for such shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under any
bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company. The Company, Management and
GTCR will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from
the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be
guaranteed.

          (g) If within six months following the repurchase of Executive Call
Stock pursuant to paragraph 5(f) above, (i) a Sale


                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>
 
of the Company or a Public Offering of the Company's Common Stock registered
under the Securities Act occurs and (ii) the valuation of a share of Common
Stock for such transaction (based upon the purchase price or liquidation
proceeds per share of Common Stock or the Public Offering price per share of
Common Stock, but reduced by any preferential amounts available to any of the
classes of Common Stock) exceeds the amounts per share received by the holder(s)
of Executive Call Stock upon the repurchase of Vested Shares, then such

          (b) Sale Notice. After the Restriction Lapse Date, prior to making any
              -----------
Transfer, Executive will give written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company,
                                                   -----------
each Manager and GTCR. The Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the
number of shares to be transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed
Transfer and, if known, the identity of the prospective transferee(s). Executive
will not consummate any such Transfer until 90 days after the Sale Notice has
been given to the Company, Management and GTCR, unless the parties to the
Transfer have been fully determined pursuant to this paragraph 6(b) and
paragraphs 6(c) and 6(d) prior to the expiration of such 90-day period. (The
date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein as the
"Authorization Date.")
 ------------------

          (c) First Refusal Rights. The Company may elect to purchase all (but
              --------------------
not less than all) of the shares of Executive Stock to be transferred upon the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a
written notice of such election to Executive, each Manager and GTCR within 30
days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not
elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be transferred, Management may
elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Executive Stock to be
transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale
Notice by giving written notice of such election to Executive, the Company and
GTCR within 60 days after the Sale Notice has been given to Management.
Management's rights hereunder shall be allocated among the Managers pro rata
based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Manager. If the
Company and Management have not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock
to be transferred, GTCR may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those
set forth in the Sale Notice by giving written notice of such election to
Executive, the Company and each Manager within 90 days after the Sale Notice has
been given to GTCR. If, the Company, Management or GTCR do not elect to purchase
all of the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Executive may
transfer the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price
and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in
the Sale Notice during the 30-day period immediately following the Authorization
Date. Any shares of Executive Stock not transferred within such 30-day period


                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>
 
will be subject to the provisions of this paragraph 6(c) upon subsequent
transfer.

          (d) Co-Sale Rights.
              ---------------

          (i) GTCR may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by
delivering written notice to Executive within 90 days after delivery of the Sale
Notice to GTCR. If GTCR has elected to participate in such Transfer, Executive
and GTCR shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, on the same
terms and at the price calculated pursuant to subparagraph 6(d)(ii) below, a
number of shares equal to the product of (x) the quotient determined by dividing
the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such person by the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock owned by Executive and GTCR and (y) the number
of shares to be sold in the contemplated Transfer.

For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares by Executive,
- -----------
and if Executive was at such time the owner of 30% of the Company's Common Stock
(on a fully-diluted basis) and if GTCR elected to participate and GTCR owned 20%
of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis), Executive would be
entitled to sell 60 shares (30% / 50% x 100 shares) and GTCR would be entitled
to sell 40 shares (20% / 50% x 100 shares).

Executive will use his best efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective
transferee(s) to the participation of GTCR in the contemplated transfer and will
not transfer any Executive Stock to the prospective transferee(s) if such
transferee(s) refuses to allow the participation of GTCR.

          (ii) The purchase price to be paid by any transferee for shares of
Class B Common and Class A Common transferred in accordance with this paragraph
6(d) shall be determined as follows: (i) the price per share to be paid for
Class B Common included in such Transfer shall be equal to the amount per share
of Class B Common which such transferee has agreed to pay to Executive and (ii)
the price per share to be paid for Class A Common included in such Transfer
shall be the price per share described in clause (i) plus the quotient (the "Per
                                                     ----                    ---
Share Preference") of (A) the sum of the Unreturned Preferred
- ----------------

        Amount and the Unpaid Yield of the Class A Common at such time divided
                                                                       ------- 
        by (B) the number of shares of Class A Common then outstanding.
        --

          (e) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this paragraph
              -------------------
6 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Executive Stock pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution or among such Executive and such
Executive's Family Members; provided that such restrictions will continue to be
applicable to the Executive Stock after any such transfer and the transferees of
such Executive Stock have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement.

          (f) Pledges. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6,
              -------
Executive may pledge any shares of Executive Stock to the Company to secure
payment of the Executive Note.

                                                                     ------

                                 OPTION TERMS

     5.1  Plan Provisions Control Option Terms.  The terms of this Plan shall
          ------------------------------------                               
govern all the Options.  In the event any provision of any Option Agreement
conflicts with any term in this Plan as constituted on the Granting Date of such
Option, the term in this Plan as constituted on the Granting Date of the Option
shall control.  Except as provided in Article 8, the terms of any Option may not
be changed after the Granting Date of such Option without the express approval
of the Company and the Option Holder.

     5.2  Price Limitation.  Subject to Article 8, the price at which each Share
          ----------------                                                      
may be purchased upon the exercise of any Option may not be less than the Per
Share Market Value on the Granting Date for such Option.

          ---------------                                                      
Plan which is exercisable more than ten years after its Granting Date.  This
Section 5.3 shall not be deemed to limit the term which the Committee may
specify for any Options granted under the Plan which are not intended to be
Incentive Stock Options.

     5.4  Transfer Limitations.  No Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall
          --------------------                                                
be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom the Option is initially
granted by anyone other than the initial grantee.  It shall be a condition
precedent to any transfer of any Option in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence that the transferee executes and delivers an agreement
acknowledging such Option has been acquired for investment and not for
distribution and is and shall remain subject to this Plan and the Option
Agreement.  The "Holder" of any Option shall mean (i) the initial grantee of
                 ------                                                     
such Option or (ii) any permitted transferee.


     5.5  $100,000 Per Year Limit on Incentive Stock Options.  No Key Employee
          --------------------------------------------------                  
may be granted Incentive Stock Options if the value of the Shares subject to
those options which first become exercisable in any given calendar year (and the
value of the Shares subject to any other Incentive Stock Options issued to the
Key Employee under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries
which first become exercisable in such year) exceeds $100,000.  For this
purpose, the value of Shares shall be determined on the Granting Date.  Any
Incentive Stock Options issued in excess of the $100,000 limit shall be treated
as Options that are not Incentive Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options shall
be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.

     5.6  No Right to Employment Conferred.  Nothing in this Plan or (in the
          --------------------------------                                  
absence of an express provision to the contrary) in any Option Agreement (i)
confers any right or obligation on any person to continue in the employ of the
Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) affects or shall affect in any way any
person's right or the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such
person's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary at any time, for any
reason, with or without cause.


                                   ARTICLE 6

                                OPTION EXERCISE

     6.1  Normal Option Term.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
          ------------------                                            
Sections 6.3, 6.5 or 6.7 or in the Option Agreement, the right to exercise any
Option shall terminate at the earlier of the following dates:  (i) the
Termination Date of the initial grantee of the Option or (ii) the Expiration
Date of the Option.

     6.2  Exercise Time.  No option granted to a Section 16 Holder shall become
          -------------                                                        
exercisable within six months of the applicable Granting Date, except in the
case of the death or permanent disability of the Holder as provided in Section
6.5 below.  Notwithstanding the terms of the Option Agreement, if any Option is
issued to a Holder who is not a Section 16 Holder on the Granting Date and such
Holder becomes a Section 16 Holder before such Holder exercises such Option,
then such Option shall not become exercisable within six months of the
applicable Granting Date, except in the case of the death or permanent
disability of the Holder as provided in Section 6.5 below.  Subject to the
preceding two sentences, each Option shall become exercisable at the time
provided in the Option Agreement, provided that the Committee in its sole
discretion shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated) to
permit the exercise of such Option prior to such time.

     6.3  Extension of Exercise Time.  The Committee in its sole discretion
          --------------------------                                       
shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated) to permit any
Option to be exercised after the Termination Date of the Holder of such Option.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, but subject

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
to Section 6.7, the Committee shall not have the right to permit the exercise of
any Option after its Expiration Date.

     6.4  Exercise Procedures.  Each Option shall be exercised by written notice
          -------------------                                                   
to the Company.  Any Holder of any Option shall be required, as a condition to
such Holder's right to purchase securities with such Option, to supply the
Committee at such person's expense with such evidence, representations,
agreements or assurances (including, but not limited to, opinions of counsel
satisfactory to the Committee) as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable
in order to establish to the satisfaction of the Committee the right of such
person to exercise such Option and of the propriety of the sale of securities by
reason of such exercise under the Securities Act and any other laws or
requirements of any governmental authority specified by the Committee.  The
Company shall not be obligated to sell any Shares subject to such Option until
all evidence, representations, agreements and assurances required by the
Committee have been supplied.  An Option Holder shall not have any rights as a
stockholder with respect to Shares issuable under any Option until and unless
such Shares are sold and delivered to such Option Holder.  The purchase price of
Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be paid in full in cash or
by check by the Option Holder at the time of the delivery of such Shares,
provided that the Committee may (but need not) permit payment to be made by (i)
delivery to the Company of outstanding Shares, (ii) retention by the Company of
Shares which would otherwise be transferred to the Option Holder upon exercise
of the Option or (iii) any combination of cash, check, the Holder's delivery of
outstanding Shares and retention by the Company of Shares which would otherwise
be transferred to the Option Holder upon exercise of the Option, and provided
further that no portion of the purchase price of Shares purchased on the
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option may be paid by retention of Shares by the
Company.  In the event an Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Committee may
(but need not) permit payment to be made by (i) cash or check or (ii) delivery
to the Company of outstanding Shares.  In the event any Common Stock is
delivered to or retained by the Company to satisfy all or any part of the
purchase price, the part of the purchase price deemed to have been satisfied by
such Common Stock shall be equal to the product derived by multiplying (i) the
Per Share Market Value as of the date of exercise by (ii) the number of Shares
delivered to or retained by the Company.  The number of Shares delivered to or
retained by the Company in satisfaction of the purchase price shall not be a
number which when multiplied by the Per Share Market Value as of the date of
exercise would result in a product greater than the purchase price.  No
fractional Shares shall be delivered to or retained by the Company in
satisfaction of the purchase price.  To the extent such fractional share would
result, the Option Holder shall make up such difference in cash.  With respect
to any exercise of an Option that is permitted to be made by delivery to the
Company of outstanding Shares of Common Stock or retention by the Company of
Shares which would otherwise be transferable to the Option Holder, the Option
Holder shall be required to deposit with the Company an amount in cash
sufficient to allow the Company to satisfy any tax or other withholding
requirements under applicable law.  Any part of the purchase price paid in cash
or by check upon the exercise of any Option shall be added to the general funds
of the Company and may be used for any proper corporate purpose.
Notwithstanding Article 7, unless the Board shall otherwise determine, for each
Share delivered to or retained by the Company as payment of all or part of the
purchase price upon the exercise of any Option, the aggregate number of Shares
subject to this Plan shall be increased by one Share.

     6.5  Death, Permanent Disability, Retirement  or Termination Without Cause
          ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Of Option Holder.
- ---------------- 

     (a) Death.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Option Agreement,
         -----                                                                  
if the Holder of an Option dies while such Option Holder is still employed by
the Company or any

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Subsidiary, then the right to exercise all unexpired installments of such Option
which have not yet vested or became exercisable shall be accelerated to the date
of death and shall become exercisable as of the date of death.  Except as
otherwise provided in the option Agreement and subject to Section 6.7, if the
Holder of an option dies and such Option is then exercisable at the date of
death (for any reason including acceleration of vesting pursuant to the
preceding sentence), then the Holder's estate or the person or persons to whom
the Holder's rights under the Option shall pass by reason of the Holder's death
shall have the right to exercise the Option for 90 days after the date of death,
and the Option shall expire at the end of such 90 day period.

     (b) Permanent Disability.  Except as otherwise provided in the Option
         --------------------                                             
Agreement, if the Holder of an option suffers a Permanent Disability while such
Holder is still employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, then the right to
exercise all unexpired installments of such Option which have not yet vested or
became exercisable shall be accelerated to the date of such Permanent Disability
and shall become exercisable as of the date of such Permanent Disability (the
"Permanent Disability Date").  Except as otherwise provided in the Option
- --------------------------                                               
Agreement and subject to Section 6.7, if the Holder of an Option suffers a
Permanent Disability and such Option is exercisable at the Permanent Disability
Date (for any reason including acceleration pursuant to the preceding sentence),
then such Holder shall have the right to exercise such Option for one year after
the Permanent Disability Date, and the Option shall expire at the end of such
one year period.

     (c) Retirement.  Except as otherwise provided in the Option Agreement, if
         ----------                                                           
the Holder of an Option elects to voluntarily retire from the Corporation or any
Subsidiary while such Holder is still employed by the Company or any Subsidiary,
then any installments of such Option which have not yet vested or become
                                                    ---                 
exercisable shall remain outstanding for up to three years following the date of
such retirement.  During such three year period, the time period for the vesting
of an Option contained in an Option Agreement will be deemed to continue to be
satisfied during such retirement and counted toward determining whether any time
period has been satisfied for vesting of the Option.  Except as otherwise
provided in the Option Agreement and subject to Section 6.7, if the Holder of an
Option retires and such Option is or becomes exercisable at the time of or
following such retirement, then such Holder shall have the right to exercise
such option for three years after the date of retirement, and the Option shall
expire at the end of such three-year period.  Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 6.5(c) or an Option Agreement to the contrary, if the Committee
determines in the good faith exercise of its judgment that any Holder who has
retired engages in any conduct detrimental to the Company, upon such
determination by the Committee, such Option shall immediately and without
further action on the part of the Company, expire and become unexerciseable.  No
notice of such determination need be given to any Holder in such circumstance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax treatment available pursuant to Section
422 of the Code upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option will not be
available to a holder who exercises any such Option more than three months after
the date of retirement.

     (d) Termination Without Cause.  Except as otherwise provided in the Option
         -------------------------                                             
Agreement, if the Holder of an Option is terminated without Cause and such
Option is currently exercisable at the time of such termination, then such
Holder shall have the right to exercise such Option for 30 days after the date
of such termination, and the Option shall expire at the end of such 30 day
period.

     6.6  Taxes.  The Company or any Subsidiary shall be entitled, if the
          -----                                                          
Committee deems it necessary or desirable, to withhold from an Option Holder's
salary or other compensation (or to secure payment from the Option Holder in
lieu of withholding) all or any portion of any

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
withholding or other tax due from the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to
any Shares deliverable under such Holder's Option or the Committee may (but need
not) permit payment of such withholding by the Company's retention of Shares
which would otherwise be transferred to the Option Holder upon exercise of the
Option.  In the event any Common Stock is retained by the Company to satisfy all
or any part of the withholding, the part of the withholding deemed to have been
satisfied by such Common Stock shall be equal to the product derived by
multiplying the Per Share Market Value as of the date of exercise by the number
of Shares retained by the Company.  The number of Shares retained by the Company
in satisfaction of withholding shall not be a number which when multiplied by
the Per Share Market Value as of the date of exercise would result in a product
greater than the withholding amount.  No fractional Shares shall be retained by
the Company in satisfaction of withholding.  Notwithstanding Article 7, unless
the Board shall otherwise determine, for each Share retained by the Company in
satisfaction of all or any part of the withholding amount, the aggregate number
of Shares subject to this Plan shall be increased by one Share.  The Company may
defer delivery under a Holder's Option until indemnified to its satisfaction
with respect to such withholding or other taxes.

     6.7  Securities Law Compliance.  Each Option shall be subject to the
          -------------------------                                      
condition that such Option may not be exercised if and to the extent the
Committee determines that the sale of securities upon exercise of the Option may
violate the Securities Act or any other law or requirement of any governmental
authority.  The Company shall not be deemed by any reason of the granting of any
Option to have any obligation to register the Shares subject to such Option
under the Securities Act or to maintain in effect any registration of such
Shares which may be made at any time under the Securities Act.  An Option shall
not be exercisable if the Committee or the Board determines there is non-public
information material to the decision of the Holder to exercise such Option which
the Company cannot for any reason communicate to such Holder.  Notwithstanding
Sections 6.1, 6.3 and 6.5 and the terms of the Option Agreement, if (i) any
Holder makes a bona fide request to exercise any Option which complies with
Section 6.4, (ii) the Committee or the Board determines such Option cannot be
exercised for a period of time pursuant to this Section 6.7 and (iii) such
Option expires during such period, then the term of such Option shall be
extended until the end of such period; provided, however, that the term of an
Incentive Stock Option cannot be extended beyond ten years after its Granting
Date.


                                   ARTICLE 7

                           SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     Except as provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.6 and Article 8, an aggregate of
1,109,147 Shares of Common Stock shall be subject to this Plan.  Except as
provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.6 and Article 8, the Options shall be limited so
that the sum of the following shall not as of any given time exceed 1,109,147
Shares:  (i) all Shares subject to Options outstanding under this Plan at the
given time and (ii) all Shares which shall have been sold by the Company by
reason of the exercise at or prior to the given time of any of the Options.  The
Common Stock issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares,
shares reacquired and held in the treasury of the Corporation, or both, all as
from time to time determined by the Board.  In the event any Option shall expire
or be terminated before it is fully exercised, then all Shares formerly subject
to such Option as to which such Option was not exercised shall be available for
any Option subsequently granted in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan, the maximum

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
aggregate number of Shares subject to Options that may be granted to any one Key
Employee in any one calendar year shall not exceed 400,000 Shares.


                                   ARTICLE 8

                     ADJUSTMENTS TO REFLECT ORGANIC CHANGES

     The Board shall appropriately and proportionately adjust the number and
kind of Shares subject to outstanding Options, the price for which Shares may be
purchased upon the exercise of outstanding Options, and the number and kind of
Shares available for options subsequently granted under this Plan to reflect any
stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger,
consolidation or other change in the capitalization of the Company which the
Board determines to be similar, in its substantive effect upon this Plan or the
Options, to any of the changes expressly indicated in this sentence.  The Board
may (but shall not be required to) make any appropriate adjustment to the number
and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Options, the price for which Shares
may be purchased upon the exercise of outstanding Options, and the number and
kind of Shares available for Options subsequently granted under this Plan to
reflect any spin-off, spin-out or other distribution of assets to stockholders
or any acquisition of the Company's stock or assets or other change which the
Board determines to be similar, in its substantive effect upon this Plan or the
Options, to any of the changes expressly indicated in this sentence.  The
Committee shall have the power to determine the amount of the adjustment to be
made in each case described in the preceding two sentences, but no adjustment
approved by the Committee shall be effective until and unless it is approved by
the Board.  In the event of any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets which is
effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
(either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets
with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, the Board may (but shall not be
required to) substitute the per share amount of such stock, securities or assets
for Shares upon any subsequent exercise of any Option.  If any fractional Share
becomes subject to any Option as a result of any change made under this Article
8, then (i) such Option may not be exercised with respect to such fractional
Share until and unless such Option is exercised as to all other Shares subject
to such option and (ii) if such Option is exercised with respect to such
fractional Share, the Company shall have the right to deliver to the Holder in
lieu of such fractional Share cash in an amount equal to the product derived by
multiplying the fraction representing the portion of a full Share represented by
such fractional Share times the Per Share Market Value on the exercise date of
the Option with respect to such fractional Share established as prescribed in
this Plan.


                                   ARTICLE 9

                     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     9.1  Amendment.  Except as provided in the following two sentences, the
          ---------                                                         
Board shall have complete power and authority to amend this Plan at any time and
no approval by the Company's stockholders or by any other person, committee or
other entity of any kind shall be required to make any amendment approved by the
Board effective.  The Board shall not, without the affirmative approval of the
Company's stockholders, amend the Plan in any manner which would cause any
outstanding Incentive Stock Options to no longer qualify as Incentive Stock
Options or which would cause the Plan not to satisfy the requirements relating
to performance based

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
compensation under (S) 162(m) of the Code.  If any Section 16 Holder holds any
Option, the Board shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the securities of the Company present, or represented, and entitled
to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with applicable law, make any
amendment to this Plan which materially (i) increases the benefits accruing to
participants under the Plan, (ii) increases the number of shares of Common Stock
which may be issued under the Plan or (iii) modifies the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in the Plan.  No termination or amendment of this
Plan may, without the consent of the Holder of any Option prior to termination
or the adoption of such amendment, materially and adversely affect the rights of
such Holder under such Option.

     9.2  Termination.  The Board shall have the right and the power to
          -----------                                                  
terminate this Plan at any time, provided that no Incentive Stock Options may be
granted after the tenth anniversary of the adoption of this Plan.  No Option
shall be granted under this Plan after the termination of this Plan, but the
termination of this Plan shall not have any other effect.  Any Option
outstanding at the time of the termination of this Plan may be exercised after
termination of this Plan at any time prior to the Expiration Date of such Option
to the same extent such Option would have been exercisable had this Plan not
terminated.

Option at any time granted under this Plan shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this

the fullest extent permitted by law and (ii) all other provisions of this Plan
and every option at any time granted under this Plan shall remain in full force

intended ISO at any time granted under this Plan is held to be contrary to the
requirements necessary to entitle such intended ISO to the tax treatment
afforded by the Code to Options which do constitute Incentive Stock Options

contained from the outset such language as shall be necessary to entitle such
intended ISO to the tax treatment afforded by the Code to Options which do

effect.  If any Option Agreement

covering an intended ISO granted under this Plan does not explicitly include any
terms required to entitle such intended ISO to the tax treatment afforded by the
Code to Options which do constitute Incentive Stock Options under Code Section
422, then all such terms shall be deemed implicit in the intention to afford
such treatment to such Option and such Option shall be deemed to have been
granted subject to all such terms.

           ----------------------                                          
applied against the Company, the Committee or any other person in the
interpretation of any of the terms of this Plan, any Option or any rule or
procedure established by the Committee.

all remedies in connection therewith and all questions or transactions relating
