RECITALS The parties hereto are parties to a Shareholders Agreement dated June 30, 1995, which was entered into upon the consummation of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 28, 1994 among the Company, Chambers Acquisition Corporation and Chambers Development Company, Inc.(the "June 30 Shareholders Agreement"). The Company intends to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on or about the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement") with Riviera Acquisition Corporation, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition"), and Western Waste Industries, a California corporation ("Western"), providing for the merger of Acquisition with and into Western (the "Merger"), with Western being the surviving corporation and becoming a subsidiary of the Company. The parties hereto have agreed that the Shareholders Agreement is to be amended effective upon the consummation of the Merger Agreement, to read as set forth herein, at which time Mr. Kosti Shirvanian, Ms. Savey Tufkenian and Mr. Ramsey DiLibero, who were formerly directors of Western, are to be elected as directors of the Company and Kosti Shirvanian is to be elected as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. This Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement as of the date hereof but the provisions hereof shall become effective upon consummation of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement shall terminate in the event that (i) the Company fails to perform any of its obligations set forth in that certain memorandum of understanding between the Rangos shareholders and the Company dated the date hereof, (ii) any of the Rangos shareholders shall have given written 2 notice to the Company concerning such failure to perform and (iii) such failure shall not have been cured within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, and in any event prior to consummation of the Merger Agreement. In the event of such termination, or in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated, this Agreement shall be of no force and effect from and after the date of either such termination and the June 30 Shareholders Agreement shall thereafter continue in full force and effect, without giving any effect to this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall be without liability on the part of any of the parties hereto. In consideration of the foregoing and the respective covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Company, the Company Stockholders and the Rangos Shareholders agree as follows: Section 1 Term. The term (the "Term") of this Agreement shall commence at the date hereof and continue until such time as the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by the Rangos Shareholders and their affiliates (as defined below) is less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. For the purpose of calculating the percentage of shares of Common Stock held by the Rangos Shareholders and their affiliates, all shares that the Rangos Shareholders may acquire upon the exercise or conversion of options, warrants, rights of conversion or other rights to acquire shares (whether or not exercisable at the time of such determination) shall be included in the number of shares held by the Rangos Shareholders and their affiliates and the number of shares issued and outstanding, but shares that may be acquired by other persons pursuant to such rights shall not be included in the number of shares issued and outstanding. For the purposes of this Agreement, an "affiliate" of a person includes (i) if such person is a natural person, such person's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law any trusts established solely for the benefit of any of the foregoing and (ii) any partnership, corporation, joint venture, association or other entity owned and controlled solely by the Rangos Shareholders and any persons included within the preceding clause (i). Section 2 Board of Directors of the Company. (a) The Company, the Company Stockholders and the Rangos Shareholders agree that they shall use their best efforts to cause the Board of Directors of the Company immediately upon consummation of the Merger to be increased from nine to twelve members and, at all times during the Term 3 of this Agreement, to cause the Board of Directors to consist of no more than twelve members, except as otherwise may be required pursuant to governing instruments of securities issued by the Company. (b) During the Term of this Agreement, the Company and the Company Stockholders shall use their best efforts to cause the Board of Directors to include at all times two persons who are designated by the Rangos Shareholders. The initial designees of the Rangos Shareholders shall be John G. Rangos, Sr. and Alexander W. Rangos. If the designees of the Rangos Shareholders are other than John Rangos, Sr., John Rangos, Jr., or Alexander Rangos, such designees must be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall, no later than thirty days prior to the mailing of any proxy or information statement with respect to a stockholder meeting at which directors are to be elected, notify the Rangos Shareholders of the date of such mailing; the Rangos Shareholders shall notify the Company of the names of the persons they designate to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to this Section no later than ten days prior to the date of such mailing; and the Company and the Company Stockholders shall use their best efforts to have such designees nominated for election as directors and elected as directors. The Rangos Shareholders shall notify the Company of the name of any person they designate to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors resulting from the resignation or other removal of a person previously designated by the Rangos Shareholders no later than thirty days after such vacancy is created, and the Company and the Company Stockholders shall use their best efforts to cause the Board of Directors to appoint such person as a director of the Company. For purposes of this Section, the Company may rely on a notice from John G. Rangos, Sr. as a notification from the Rangos Shareholders, or on a notice from such other person as is designated in a writing signed by all Rangos Shareholders. (c) During the Term of this Agreement, the Company, the Company Stockholders and the Rangos Shareholders shall use their best efforts to cause the Board of Directors to include at all times (in addition to the two persons who are members pursuant to Section 2(b)) four persons who are approved by at least five members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and none of whom is an officer or employee of the Company. (d) During the term of this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2, the Rangos Shareholders and the Company Stockholders agree to use their best efforts to cause (i) the election (and re-election during the term of this Agreement) of the individuals who constitute the initial Board of Directors immediately 4 following the effective time of the Merger (the "Initial Directors"), and (ii) the selection of and election of persons nominated (consistent with the provisions of Section 2(c) above) by a majority of the Initial Directors to fill any vacancies on the Board of Directors created by the resignation or removal of an Initial Director (other than a vacancy created by the resignation or removal of a designee of the Rangos Shareholders); provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election, was approved consistent with the provisions of Section 2(c) above) by a vote of a majority of the Initial Directors shall be for purposes of this Section 2(d) considered as though such person were an Initial Director. Section 3 Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. (a) The Company and the Company Stockholders agree that at all times during the Term of this Agreement they shall use their best efforts to establish and maintain an Executive Committee of the Board of Directors consisting of six (6) directors.
