Upon the Termination of Employment at any time and for any reason, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Stockholder, and the Stockholder will at the request of the Company sell to the Company all (but not less than all) of the Shares at a purchase price per Share determined pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) below: (a) in the event that such Termination of Employment is for Cause at any time, or is a result of the Stockholder's resignation (other than for Good Reason) prior to the fourth anniversary of the date hereof, at a purchase price per Share equal to the Original Price Per Share plus interest on such amount from the date hereof to the date of repurchase at the rate of 5% per annum; and (b) otherwise, (i) at a purchase price per Vested Share equal to the Market Value Per Share and (ii) at a purchase price per Unvested Share equal to the Original Price Per Share plus interest on such amount from the date hereof to the date of repurchase at the rate of 5% per annum. 3.3. REPURCHASE CLOSING. The Company's repurchase rights under Section 3.2 shall be exercisable at any time within ninety (90) days following the Termination of Employment by notice to the Stockholder (the "Repurchase Notice"). The closing of the repurchase of such Shares shall be held (a) not earlier than five (5) days nor later than thirty (30) days after delivery of the Repurchase Notice if such Termination of Employment is for Cause or is the result of the Stockholder's resignation (other than for Good Reason) prior to the fourth anniversary of the date hereof or (b) otherwise, not earlier than five (5) days nor later than thirty (30) days after determination of the Common Equity Value pursuant to Section 3.4. The Company's repurchase rights under Section 3.2 shall lapse if not exercised within the time periods (if any) specified above in accordance with the provisions hereof, except as otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof. Amounts due-from the Company to the Stockholder under this Section 3.3 shall be set off in payment of any amounts payable from the Stockholder to the Company under the Note. Upon delivery by the Company of the repurchase price for the Shares being repurchased hereunder in accordance with Section 8 hereof, all of the Shares being repurchased shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, all of the Stockholder's rights with respect to such Shares shall terminate with the exception of the right of the Stockholder to receive the repurchase price in exchange therefor pursuant to this Section 3.3, and the Stockholder hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact to take all actions necessary and sign all documents required to cancel such Shares on its books and records. 3.4. APPRAISAL. Within fifteen (15) days following his receipt of a Repurchase Notice from the Company in respect of a repurchase of the Shares pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof, the Stockholder shall select three (3) Independent Appraisers that the Stockholder purposes to determine the Common Equity Value for purposes of this Agreement and shall notify the Company in writing of such selection (the "Stockholder Appraiser Notice"). The Company shall select one (1) of the Independent Appraisers listed in the Stockholder Appraiser Notice and use reasonable commercial efforts to promptly engage, at the cost and expense of the Company, such Independent Appraiser to determine the Common Equity Value for purposes of this Agreement. The terms of such engagement shall provide that the Independent Appraiser shall -6- complete its determination of the Common Equity Value within 45 days of engagement by the Company. The Company shall not be required to select any Independent Appraiser from a Stockholder Appraiser Notice unless the Stockholder Appraiser Notice includes three (3) Independent Appraisers. If the Stockholder has not provided a Stockholder Appraiser Notice which complies with the requirements of this Section 3.4 within thirty (30) days following the Stockholder's receipt of the Repurchase Notice, the Board shall in good faith select an Independent Appraiser to determine the Common Equity Value. Any determination of the Common Equity Value by an Independent Appraiser pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties. 4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Stockholder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of ("Transfer") any of the Unvested Shares, either voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, except to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Stockholder Agreement, the Stockholder may not Transfer any of the Vested Shares, either voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, except to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. On and after the time the Company completes a Public Sale, all of the restrictions on Transfer and the repurchase rights of the Company contained herein (including, without limitation, the repurchase rights of the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof), shall cease to apply to any Shares that constitute Vested Shares at such time and to any Shares that become Vested Shares after such time pursuant to the terms hereof. On and after the completion of a Target Disposition Event, all of the repurchase rights of the Company contained herein (including, without limitation, the repurchase rights of the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof), shall cease to apply to any Shares that constitute Vested Shares at such time and to any Shares that become Vested Shares after such time pursuant to the terms hereof. Under no circumstances may the Stockholder Transfer any Shares in violation of the terms of the Note. Upon any permitted Transfer of the Shares, the transferee of the Shares shall execute and deliver to the Company an agreement containing repurchase provisions substantially the same as those contained herein. 5. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. (a) The Stockholder represents that the Shares are being acquired by him for his own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. The Stockholder understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), on the grounds that the offer and sale of the Shares to him are exempt from the registration requirements of the Act under Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction not involving any public offering of the Shares. The Stockholder understands that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the representations of the Stockholder which are contained herein. (b) The Stockholder understands that he must bear the economic risk of his investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Stockholder agrees that he will not offer to Transfer any of the Shares except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and then only after the Company has received an opinion of its counsel that such offer or Transfer is not in violation of the registration requirements of the Act or other applicable law. -7- (c) The Stockholder represents that he is an "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule 501 under the Act) and a resident of the State of Minnesota. 6. LEGENDS; STOP TRANSFER. (a) Each certificate representing the Shares shall bear legends in or substantially in the following form: "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SHARES HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER SAID ACT, OR THE COMPANY HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN PROVISIONS REGARDING RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER CONTAINED IN A RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2004, COPIES OF WHICH WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE." (b) In addition, the Company shall make a notation regarding the restrictions on transfer of the Shares in the stock books of the Company, and such Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company only if and when transferred or sold in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 7. REPURCHASE RESTRICTIONS. 7.1. CONTRACTUAL RESTRICTIONS ON REPURCHASE. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Section 3, if the repurchase price for any Shares to be repurchased hereunder exceeds amounts owed under the Note so that after setting off payments due to the Stockholder hereunder against such amounts, the Company remains obligated to make payments to the Stockholder hereunder, and the terms of any of the financing agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with their lenders prohibit the Company from making such payments in cash, the Company shall be entitled to complete the repurchase of such Shares by delivering to the Stockholder (or any transferee) a promissory note for that portion of such payment which exceeds any amounts already set off against the Note.

In the event of any such delay, (i) the Company will be obligated to pay, on the Delayed Closing Date, interest on the repurchase price for such Shares, at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date on which the closing of the repurchase of such Shares was originally scheduled to occur to the Delayed Closing Date, and (ii) the Stockholder shall remain bound by the restrictions on Transfer contained herein during such delay; provided, that the Company shall not be required to issue a promissory note to evidence its payment obligation to the extent such issuance is prohibited by the terms of any such financing agreements. 8. PAYMENT FOR SHARES. At any closing held to consummate any repurchase of the Shares hereunder, the Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the stock certificates representing such Shares, duly endorsed in blank or with duly executed stock powers attached, and the Company shall (i) offset the repurchase price for such Shares against any amounts owed by the Stockholder to the Company under the Note and (ii) deliver to the Stockholder a check in the amount of any remaining balance of the repurchase price or a promissory note as provided in Section 7.1. 9.
